101 GUIDE TO MAKE UP FOR EVER
To celebrate the brand joining our virtual shelves, we sat down with the brand’s make up artist EU ambassador
MAKE UP FOR EVER’S HISTORY
Born in the 80’s, MAKE UP FOR EVER was “founded by Dany Sanz, a French artist with a background in fine arts and body painting. Inspired by her experience teaching make up at a school she co-founded in Paris, Sanz realised the need for versatile, high-quality products that could meet the demands of professional artists and everyday users” Charlelie tells us. "Her brand was born out of her desire to create a comprehensive range of innovative and durable make up, focusing on creative expression and performance. MAKE UP FOR EVER quickly gained a reputation for its vibrant colour range, becoming a staple in both the fashion and entertainment industries” she explains. On a mission to celebrate everyone’s unique beauty, Charlelie shares that the brand “makes the expertise of our collective of make up artists available to you, to offer you the most innovative and efficient products and tips.” And the goal? “To help you unleash your creativity and express your inner artist.”
WHY IT’S NAMED MAKE UP FOR EVER
Charlelie explains that “Dany named her brand MAKE UP FOR EVER to reflect her vision of creating make up that could withstand the demands of both professional performance and everyday use, lasting through various conditions and needs. The name signifies:
Durability and Longevity : The phrase "For Ever" emphasises the idea of make up that endures, both in terms of its wearability throughout a day or performance and its timeless appeal.Versatility and Inclusivity : "MAKE UP FOR EVER" products are suitable for everyone, catering to a wide range of skin tones, types, and professional needs, from everyday users to stage and film artists.Artistic Legacy : Dany’s background in fine arts and her passion for artistic expression are encapsulated in the idea of make up as a form of art that persists through time and trends.
The name embodies her commitment to producing high-quality, versatile cosmetics that support both artistic innovation and practical performance, aligning with her vision of make up as an enduring tool for creative expression.”

Rina is Cult Beauty’s Junior SEO Copywriter and has always had a passion for beauty and skin care (rich moisturisers are her obsession).

A loud and proud VIEVE fan, Rina owns nearly every item of the range and recommends the brand to anyone who will listen... When she’s not intently reading ingredient lists, you can find her either immersed in multiple true crime podcasts or co-hosting her own parenting one, with an *extra* hot cappuccino in hand.
