Your Personal Makeup Artist Make Up Tips, Tricks, and Techniques from Professional Make Up Artists

What's not to love about Maybelline? This is a popular makeup line that is used by many women around the globe, and it is for a reason.

To start with, consider the foundations available to you through this cosmetic line. Maybelline seems to be focusing on a longer wear to their foundation, which is why they offer the SuperStay 24HR Makeup that comes in a variety of colors for different skin tones. To be honest, they do seem to have more colors available for lighter skin tones, so if you do have darker or ethnic skin, then you may need to choose a more specialized line of makeup for African American skin tones. However, on the sidebar of the website, they do offer to help you choose your skin tone, which is helpful in matching a foundation shade. Maybelline claims that this foundation will withstand heat and sweat, which is important if you have an event coming up where you want your makeup to remain flawless. It also is oil free and fragrance free, which is vital if you want to prevent breakouts while still wearing your foundation on a daily basis. They also do have a concealer within this same product line, which is supposed to be able to conceal your flaws for 24 hours.

Moving on, if you want very dramatic lashes, then Maybelline may be the way to go because they claim to have created the first vibrating mascara in their Define-A-Lash Vibrating Mascara. This is a very interesting concept, and because of the novelty, many women may be interested in this product. It is patent pending, but it is supposed to vibrate 7000 times per stroke. This is supposed to eliminate clumps and also spread out your lashes. This is a waterproof formula, so if you are someone that does not like using waterproof mascaras, then this may not be for you. The vibrating formula is supposed to be able to curl and lengthen the lashes, and it is safe for contact lens users. They do provide a little tutorial for using the mascara on the website, which is helpful if you want to see this product in action before you buy.

For regular ladies who may not want to use a vibrating mascara wand, Maybelline also does provide Lash Stiletto, which has gotten great reviews for being able to dramatically lengthen the lashes. Of course, they do have a model for this mascara with incredibly long, probably fake, lashes, but it still is inspirational! This mascara is supposed to be able to lengthen the lashes the way that stilettos lengthen the legs. That is a pretty innovative concept, and it does use Pro-Vitamin B5 to condition and smooth the lashes as well. This is something that I appreciate because it is important for a mascara formula to have ingredients that will also condition the lashes in addition to lengthening them.

Decide for yourself and see, but Maybelline is a company that provides some innovative tools in cosmetics!
