If you work your butt off, Mary Kay works. My cousin is a ... leader consultant (forgot what they are called) and was the first woman in Wyoming to win a pink cadillac. She does it full time though, and most women just do it part time for spare money. The key is, you have to be aggressive in talking and attracting clients, and you have to be willing to hear "I'm not interested" A LOT. I did Mary Kay for a year and a half, and worked with some outstanding women who did it full time and made good money. However, it's much more difficult to be successful if you aren't willing to put money upfront, because no one wants to wait several weeks for her order.
I don't think it's shady at all; they have a great business plan IMO. It's just not a miracle way to make fast money, and I think a lot of people go into it thinking that. It does require a lot of effort.
Hope this helped you a little.
