Maybelline New York Celebrates 100th Anniversary with 10 decades of Iconic Looks

The modern woman is not afraid to flaunt her creativity and individuality, not only in the way she acts and dresses, but also in the way she looks. Over the past 100 years, Maybelline New York has inspired generations of women to define beauty. The answer lies in their hands: a woman possesses the power to express herself however she wants.

 

Today, Maybelline New York is the #1 colour cosmetics in the world. It is available in over 129 countries worldwide, bringing New York City glamour to women’s fingertips no matter where they are. From the brand’s earliest eyelash and brow products, Maybelline New York has continued to break all rules and push limits to make makeup artistry accessible to all women.

This year, Maybelline New York celebrates its 100th anniversary! To commemorate the memorable event and to pay homage to the illustrative transition of makeup trends through the years, Maybelline New York makeup artists have created 10 iconic looks to represent each decade of the last century, starting from the 1920s. 

Let's take a look of the Maybelline New York: Celebrating 10 Decades with 10 Iconic Looks!

1.) 1920s - Fierce Flapper

2.) 1930s - Siren In Rouge

3.) 1940s - The Pin Up

10.) The Future - Fearless Femme

In addition to 10 decades of iconic looks, Maybelline New York also celebrated 100 years of innovation and success with 12 special edition makeup looks created by Maybelline's global makeup artist Charlotte Willer.

Ranging from retro glamour to futuristic beauty, her creations were photographed by Kenneth Willardt, who was inspired by "confident women, brave inventors and revolutionary innovations" that impacted the history of Maybelline New York.
 

One of the highlighted looks (the 1st picture in this blog post) created by Charlotte Willer featured dark eyeshadows and eyeliners, thin but strong eye brows and rich red lips inspired by Charleston makeup in the 20s.

Review: Maybelline White Superfresh Cake Powder SPF34 PA+++

I'm staying in a hot and humid country where sweat and sebum are always my "enemies" when I applying my makeup. I want to look fair, fresh and long lasting UV protection to my face. I'm traveling quite frequently during my working days and weekends with busy schedule. A convenient compact powder that long lasting and without having to touch up constantly is what I'm looking for.

Last month, Maybelline New York launched an new cake powder ~ White Superfresh Cake Powder SPF34 PA+++ and this is the cake powder I'm looking for. 

 The Clean Touch Powder System...

• it enriched with Mineral Perlite that contains 5X the absorbing powder of talc
• this making it more effective towards sweat and sebum.
• it absorbs and entraps sweat and sebum, as well as speeds up
  sweat evaporation to prevent build-up. 
• This faster drying action results in a clean touch and fresh makeup all day.

The 12hours fair matte look and fair feel...

• long lasting matte coverage that instantly whitens and evens skin tone, smoothes and blends away imperfections.

  The ingredients...

 

I'm using #03 Natural shade and this is a suitable shade for my skin.The Maybelline White Superfresh Cake Powder SPF34 PA+++ comes in a rectangular shape casing with a mirror and sponge like most of the cake powder.

Let's take a closer look at the cake powder...It has quite a fine and matte texture. 

The Maybelline White Superfresh Cake Powder SPF34 PA+++ has light to medium coverage. My skin instantly turn fairer and matte after first application.

When the Maybelline White Superfresh Cake Powder SPF34 PA+++ on my face...

Fairer skin, quite an even finish, matte look and medium coverage. The plus point is the SPF34 PA+++ UV protection. The Maybelline White Superfresh Cake Powder SPF34 PA+++ is an affordable compact powder with the latest cake powder breakthrough from Maybelline New York. I only reapply the powder once after about 8 hours. However, my T-zone always become oily after about 2-3 hours. With the Maybelline White Superfresh Cake Powder SPF34 PA+++, my T-zone seems to look less oily with longer hours.

Maybelline New York White Superfresh Long Lasting UV Cake Powder SPF34 PA+++ is now available at nationwide leading pharmacies with retail price of RM23.90. Refills are available for a recommended retail
price of RM11.90.
