Top Italian Makeup Brands

Regarding the beauty and fashion industry, the make-up section has always played a pivotal role in defining new trends. Remember the colorful eyeshadows during the 80s and 90s? What about the many iconic rock stars that would play their hits while wearing heavy eyeliner? Returning to special historical moments, we will always find something make-up-related.

Make-up was used to express personality and thoughts until it started to be seen as a tool to hide our imperfections. But luckily, over the past ten years, we have seen how common awareness has substituted this idea of make-up as an eraser of our flaws that make-up can be used to express our thoughts, ideas, emotions, and artistic side.

With the many makeup brands pushing on the opinion that every woman should be able to find her own beauty and express her soul, it can be overwhelming to pick which one to use. Among the many, Italian Make-up has been receiving more and more recognition for the high-quality materials used to realize the final products and the attention to detail used to design the packaging.

Each of the following Italian make-up brands has been bringing to the table quality and new ideas and concepts revolving around beauty. Beauty cannot be achieved through make-up as this can only be seen as a tool to enhance each woman’s beauty.

Therefore, we decided to compile a list of the top Italian make-up brands that have distinguished themselves among the many others not only because of their quality but as well as because of the mission behind the company.

Among the many Italian brands that have distinguished themselves, we find the young Mulac. Young because it was only founded in 2014 by someone special, a Youtuber that goes with the name of LaCindina.

This was a huge milestone in the Italian make-up industry, representing the first time a YouTuber founded an Italian make-up brand. The mind behind the idea, Cindy is a beauty influencer turned into an entrepreneur who, thanks to her following on the platform, was able to create a line that could satisfy her own necessities and those of her followers.

The idea of a make-up line that presents itself as a tool that all women can use to express their uniqueness and artistic side has become popular thanks to the many beauty gurus out there. Still, only Cindy was able to do it first in Italy. The attention to detail, the type of raw materials used, and most importantly, the brand’s mission are the characteristics that still to this day put Mulac cosmetics a must-have brand.

Wycon cosmetics Milano

This one is relatively young compared to the previous brands, as the company has only been around since 2009. Still, it has made a name for itself thanks to its attention to creating products that are totally cruelty-free and only made in Italy.

Another aspect contributing to the brand’s success is the mission of delivering products that every type of woman can use without spending a fortune. Naturally, high quality equals a higher price, but with Wycon, everyone can opt for a make-up and skincare line at the right price.

Furthermore, the price range is favored by extensive attention to the entire production chain, eliminating all those aspects that elevate the price tag while still focusing on the high-quality aspect. All these elements have contributed not only to popularizing the brand within Italy but as well as abroad, especially in Europe.

The launch in 2010 of DermoLab, the skincare line, has put the brand in another light as its effort in offering silicone and petrolatum-free products has been rewarded by 100% success among its clientele. The line is perfect for people who care about the origin of the ingredients used to create the final products.
