Founded in 1935 by the visionary pioneer, Armand Petitjean, with the wish of spreading the spirit and taste of French elegance around the world, Lancôme immediately embodied the essence of beauty.

From the "Lancômatique" Mascara to the "Idole Ultra Cushion" Foundation!

In the products range, make-up and skincare at the heart of the history of this iconic brand..., with, as early as 1936, the "Nutrix" revolution, the first ever skincare launched by Lancôme, which, with its unique repairing formula, allowed women to enjoy beauty daily. It soon became the must-have cream loved by skin and generations of women for nearly 80 years now!

In 1951 Lancôme introduced its first lip make-up line. "Clé de Coquette", "Ménestrel" and "Longue Vue" were the first lipsticks of the "Orfévreries" line. Designed like jewellery Lancôme had created much more than a lipstick collection, the ultimate accessory of beauty that allowed women to express a new language of colour and desire. En 1967 "Lancômatique" was Lancôme's first edition of mascara.

Creating new standards of excellence, it led the way for future collections giving the world of mascara a new look of expertise. In 1992, Lancôme debuted its legendary "Rénergie" at a time when cosmetic surgery was surging. Using innovative research, "Rénergie" gave women back their youth authentically, without drastic measures.

A method sincere to true beauty. With the creation of the "Hypnôse" mascara in 2004, now iconic, Lancôme's savoir-faire not only magnified the beauty of eyes like never seen before, it allowed a woman's look to reflect their soul. A mirror of true beauty, simple and hypnotic.

In 2011, Lancôme created "Visionnaire". A revolution for skincare that created a new niche: Advanced multi-Correcting creams, designed to suit every type of skin. Today it is the true face of anti-age in the world.

And the brand has continued to innovate with amongst its most recent last launches, the "Absolu Rouge" lipstick which deeply replenishes, softens and moisturizes lips for 6 hours. A range that includes no less than thirty eight shades and three lipstick finishes. A product that protects lips against environmental damage and which comes in a sleek black case featuring an innovative click opening system.

Note also the "Idole Ultra Cushion" foundation, a compact liquid foundation cushion for a longer hold, high coverage, precise application. It comes in a portable and refillable format.

Today more than ever, the brand aims to offer every woman the possibility to blossom and embrace her beauty and femininity whatever her age or skin colour.
