Global fame

Maybelline New York’s values – style, fashion and independence – have been successfully embraced worldwide. But the brand still takes its inspiration and energy from New York. The Big Apple is ubiquitous in the brand’s communication, events and pop-up stores such as the Maybelline House during New York Fashion Week. In fact, the city even plays a role in product design. For example, the Superstay Matte Ink City Edition has come up with new shades inspired by the city’s hues.

Thanks to this vibrant identity and star products like Superstay Matte Ink and Fit Me!, the brand has proved very successful in both developed and emerging markets.
