L’Oreal makeup was founded by French chemist-
Eugene Schueller in 1909. The discovery of a new innovative hair
dye, named “Auroele” launched the beginning of one of the most
famous women’s cosmetic firms in the world. Today, L’Oreal has
over 18 global brands of makeup, skin/hair care, and hair
coloring/styling products. An innovative, culturally sensitive
company, they have over 3000 staff members and 14 research
centers working worldwide to study skin and hair differences to
design products to fit all specific needs.
L’Oreal has

L’Oreal Paris
Foundation
Infallible- Never Fail Makeup
Made to last up to 16-hours, this makeup is
made with a vitamin and mineral complex. This fully coverage
makeup eliminates the need for a concealer, and has a strong
oil absorber. Great L'Oreal makeup for an aging face.
Cashmere Perfect
This is a light makeup used for more of a
natural look. It can last up to 12 hours. I have used this
foundation personally and found it had a nice finish, but did
not cover up any blemishes well. I still needed to use a
concealer.
Ideal Balance
If you have combination skin, this may be
the foundation for you. Designed to balance oil prone skin and
hydrate dry areas. It is oil free, non-comedogenic and has a
SPF of 10. This makeup covers well, but you still need pressed
or loose powder to set it, otherwise your face will be very
shiny.
True Match
A foundation that matches skin texture and
tone for a natural look. It has medium coverage, but a
concealer may be needed for those trouble spots. If you had
flawless skin it would be a perfect natural makeup, since it
blends so well. The greatest disadvantage is that it wears off
too easily. It needs to be retouched a couple times a day to
keep it fresh.
Visible Lift
Need extra coverage to hide aging stress
and laugh lines? This foundation may be your cup of tea. Made
with natural complexes to help smooth out lines. L'Oreal
Makeup claims it may smooth out these flaws if used for at
least a month.
L'Oreal Paris Eye Makeup
Double Extend Mascara
If you have lashes that need help, this
mascara will lengthen and make your lashes appear fuller. It
has a clear base coat on one side of the applicator that you
put on first to extend the length of your lashes, then after
setting, the mascara is applied.
Feather Lash
A lighter mascara for a more natural look.
The thinner formula helps to prevent lash clumping.
Lash Architect
Dramatic mascara to wear when you’re trying
to create an impression. This mascara does it all, curls,
thickens and makes your eyes look amazing. It is a little
tough to remove though.
Maybelline New York
Makeup History Fact:Maybelline New York used to operate as a separate entity
until 1996 when it merged with L’Oreal Makeup.

Dream Matte Mousse Foundation
Mousse-like formula gives medium coverage
with a matte finish. This makeup is okay except that it wears
off pretty easily.
Ever Press Makeup
Stay put foundation lasts up to 8 hours.
It’s oil free and has an SPF of 14.
Express Makeup
Makeup in a stick form. You can use it as a
foundation or touch up flaws. Result is a powdery finish.
Instant Age Rewind Foundation
Makeup with caffeine to help “wake up” your
skin for a firmer and more youthful look. The formula also has
an SPF of 18. Some may find it questionable to use caffeine in
their makeup, as we already consume so much in our beverages
already!!
Full N’ Soft Mascara
Available in a washable or waterproof
formula, designed not to clump and are contact lens safe and
hypoallergenic.
Illegal Lengths
A rich conditioning mascara that lengthens,
separates and doesn’t smudge. It is available in a washable
and waterproof formula. If you already have long lashes, using
this mascara makes eyes really dramatic.

resists smudging and smearing. It is also washable.
