Maybelline was a US based family-owned company up until 1996 when it was acquired by L'Oreal- the French cosmetic giant. L'Oreal has not only penetrated the Western markets but very much our own Million dollar Beauty Industry, using buyout as a strategy to reach the middle-class consumers. With Nice & Lovely under L'Oreal, Maybelline-New York has been available in stores all over from Thika-Bondo since 2016 when it was launched here in Kenya.
Victoria Kimani joins in the bandwagon of celebrities and big names like Gigi Hadid, the first male face- Manny Gutierrez and our own Muthoni Njoba to be the face Maybelline. Chatting with The African Village Girl, Victoria said " Feels great!Awesome accomplishment for Kenyan art."

If you truly do know her, you know she comes to serve and not play! She totally took me through the winter in Nairobi, dubbing her my Winter Queen.
Salut, Victoria Kimani for taking Kenyan art to the world!
