We've Heard it all before
You’ve fallen for the hype. Bought the ‘holy grails.’ Watched them collect dust. If you’re a little jaded after years of being overpromised and under-delivered, we see you. We won’t tell you our products will change your life. They won’t.
But, if you’re after elevated formulas that actually work for skin that’s lived a little...
You've found your brand.
UNFUSSY FRENCH STYLE
Maxine's Revenge is inspired by the unfussy French style I fell in love with when living in Paris. The look is a clean, even complexion - makeup that's subtle and elegant.
The Parisian women whose unfussy style left such an impression on me were leaders of the most prestigious fashion, beauty and creative companies in Paris and they were well over 40. With or without wrinkles, with or without silver hair, their confidence was intoxicating and exciting.
It's a vibe I want for all of us - even my younger sisters, who don't realize they're subconsciously freaking out that once their skin isn't tight and plump, it's all over.
We're here to prove them wrong, for all of our sakes. Stay tuned.
FRENCH FACE
I've tested well over 1,000 formulas in makeup and skincare. At this point, I know what actually works.
I'm fair but selective - especially when it comes to products for skin that's lived a little. French Face Concealer is our first product and a perfect example of what works for our skin.
It's super thin, highly pigmented and hydrating. It stretches over vs settles in fine lines and wrinkles - looks like your skin on its best day.
We love animals and don't test on them. French Face is vegan, cruelty-free, fragrance-free, nanoplastic-free, essential oil-free, and packaged in thoughtfully sustainable materials while minimizing plastic wherever possible.
Now available here on our site, Amazon, Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok, where it all started.
BEAUTY CREDENTIALS
My first beauty job was as the Marketing Director for Sephora.com back in 1998 when they first came to the US.
I went on to work for Smashbox, Sephora (again, based in Paris HQ), Too Faced (the memories!), Sephora (based in Singapore), Too Faced (again!), Gucci Beauty back in Paris, and now, Maxine's Revenge in Southern California.
As a founder, I'm starting all over. Some days are scary. It's humbling. I'm grateful for the support and encouragement many followers, creators, and customers have generously shared.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart - you know who you are. I wouldn't be here without you. :)
Yes, I have "beauty credentials" from years in the industry working for the best leaders out there, but being an entrepreneur is a new story.
I love it.
