Devir Kahan is the founder of Stryx, a male-focused line of cosmetics.

LAWRENCE, NY — A man, who lives in Lawrence with his wife, has created a company centered around appealing to men's makeup wearers.
Devir Kahan is a co-partner of Stryx, a business that was created based on his need to look good at his wedding.
"I woke up with a couple of zits on my face," Kahan, a guest on Tuesday's "Patch AM," said. "I really didn't have any way to fix it."

Kahan was too embarrassed to use the make-up artist hired for the wedding party, and began to think of a "better answer here."

Kahan, and his Stryx, was recently featured on ABC's "Shark Tank." He got two offers and took Robert Herjavec's offer and that exposure led to an increase in sales by 150%, he said.
The cosmetics line is available online and at Target.
