Through the decades, the Maybelline range has continued to broaden, and with much success behind the brand, L’Oréal purchased Maybelline in 1996. Maybelline products are still produced in the factory the company built in Arkansas in 1975 and are now popular around the world. Today, Maybelline’s range includes a wide assortment of makeup products for the face, lips, nails and, of course, the eyes.
A good look starts with a great foundation – and Maybelline aim to deliver. Maybelline’s products for the face include not only foundations, but powders, concealers, blushers, bronzers and highlighters to bring out the best you’ve got. Some of the popular face products by Maybelline include the revolutionary Dream Matte Mousse foundation, which is whipped to provide a soft, perfect matte finish in eight shades from ivory to cocoa. Also in the Dream Matte line is the popular Dream Mousse Blush that blends easily and gives a natural finish without clogging pores.
For the lips, Maybelline have a collection of vivid, long-lasting lipsticks, lip liners and glosses.
