TORA TECHNOLOGIES INC.

INFORMATION STATEMENT
Date first mailed to stockholders: October 31, 2006

205 - 1990 East Kent Avenue
Vancouver, British Columbia
V5P 4X5 Canada
(Principal Executive Offices)

We are not asking you for a proxy and you are requested not to send us a proxy.


Item 1. Information Required by Items of Schedule 14A.

a.  
Introduction.

This Information Statement has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and is being mailed or otherwise furnished to the registered stockholders of Tora in connection with the prior approval by the board of directors of Tora, and receipt by the board of approval by written consent of the holders of a majority of Tora’s outstanding shares of common stock, of a resolution to,

1.  
amend Article First of the Articles of Tora Technologies Inc. by changing the name of Tora Technologies Inc. to “Makeup.com Limited”, or, if the new name is unacceptable to the applicable regulators having jurisdiction over the affairs of Tora Technologies Inc., to any such other name that is approved by the board of directors in its sole discretion; and

2.  
amend Article Fourth of the Articles of Tora Technologies Inc. by increasing the authorized capital from 75,000,000 shares to 200,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 per share.

(collectively, the “Resolutions”).

Section 78.320 of the Nevada Revised Statutes and the By-laws of Tora provide that any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the stockholders may be taken without a meeting if stockholders holding at least a majority of the voting power sign a written consent approving the action.

On October 18, 2006, the board of directors of Tora approved and recommended the Resolutions. Subsequently, the holders of a majority of the voting power signed and delivered to Tora written consents approving the Resolutions, in lieu of a meeting. Since the holders of the required majority of shares of common stock have approved the Resolutions, no other votes are required or necessary and no proxies are being solicited with this Information Statement.

Tora has obtained all necessary corporate approvals in connection with the Resolutions and your consent is not required and is not being solicited in connection with the approval of the Resolutions. This Information Statement is furnished solely for the purpose of informing stockholders in the manner required under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 of these corporate actions before they take effect.

The Resolutions will not become effective until (i) 21 days from the date this Information Statement is first mailed to the stockholders, or, (ii) such later date as approved by the board of directors, in its sole discretion. The Certificate of Amendment will be filed with the Secretary of State of Nevada and is expected to become effective on or about November 21, 2006.

This Information Statement is dated October 31, 2006 and is first being mailed to stockholders on or about October 31, 2006. Only shareholders of record at the close of business on October 18, 2006 are entitled to notice of the Resolutions and to receive this Information Statement.

Reasons for the Amendments to Articles

Management has completed the transaction with Manhattan Assets Corp. for the acquisition of Makeup Incorporated and the domain name www.makeup.com and other associated domain names. As a result of closing this transaction with Manhattan Assets Corp., Management has decided that Tora should change its corporate name. The board of directors of Tora believes that the name change will result in Tora having a name that more accurately reflects its new business.

The amendment to the Articles of Incorporation of Tora to increase the authorized capital is being made, in part, to provide Tora with more flexibility and opportunities to conduct equity financings.

b.  
Dissenters’ Right of Appraisal.

Neither the Articles and By-laws of Tora nor the Nevada Revised Statutes provide for dissenters’ rights of appraisal in connection with the Resolutions.

c.  
Voting Securities and Principal Holders Thereof

As of October 18, 2006, there were 44,831,250 outstanding shares of common stock of Tora, each of which was entitled to one vote for the purpose of approving the Resolutions. Stockholders of record at the close of business on October 18, 2006 (the date of the stockholders’ written consent) were furnished copies of this Information Statement.

Tora confirms that there are no convertible securities in existence that are convertible into shares of common stock.
