Cyrielle welcomed the anticipating crowd once again and spoke about Lancôme celebrating black excellence with this historical campaign. Sharing the stage with the L’Oreal, Ella Afrique and Glam Brand Agency teams, who had a role to play in the execution of the campaign on stage, Cyrielle stated that Lancôme spends millions of dollars on research and development of makeup for black skin.
This campaign is unlike any other Lancôme has done before as the African campaign focuses on the diversity of beauty across various ages.
Having already launched internationally, the foundation is an addition to the Teint Idole range of concealer created by the L’Oréal-owned brand, which also includes Teint Idole foundation stick and Teint Idole cushion.
Lancôme is at the forefront of the cosmetic industry as it is the only makeup brand with a foundation that lasts 24 hours, has a matte finish, and has the most shades for women worldwide. All Lancôme 3 axes products are available at all Essenza stores and also available for one month at the Lancôme Pop Up at Temple Muse.
