Each artist in the League of Experts, in their unique way, upholds and empowers our brand values of beauty, worth, and inclusivity - helping to inspire others to look and feel their most beautiful. We look forward to further expanding the collective and going beyond makeup to serve our consumers at every step of their beauty journey."
"I'm so proud to represent L'Oréal Paris as part of the League of Experts. Not only is the brand a leader of innovation and quality in the beauty industry, but L'Oréal Paris also celebrates diversity and inclusivity, catering to all individuals, all identities, and all cultures, which is so important to me. My vision for being a part of the League of Experts is to continue to champion inclusivity and bring a fresh take on how makeup can enrich people's lives and empower them," notes Allan Avendaño, L'Oréal Paris Makeup Artist and member of the League of Experts.
On joining the League of Experts, Claudia Betancur explains, "L'Oréal Paris is the number one global beauty brand and being part of this family fills my heart with pride and truly makes me happy. I am passionate about teaching the art of beauty to empower individuals with self-confidence and self-love and impart the great meaning behind "because you're worth it!"
Erica Taylor, member of the L'Oréal Paris League of Experts, adds "I am excited to use my social platform and this partnership with L'Oréal Paris to teach women about attainable luxury. I have held many roles where I have worked with clients, models, and celebrities, but my favorite is always helping the woman who forgot about herself because she was too busy helping everyone else. I love making her comfortable and teaching her to feel beautiful, and through the L'Oréal Paris League of Experts I get to reach so many more women to share this message."
Allan, Claudia, and Erica officially join the brand today. This initial group of talent will begin to be leveraged during several upcoming brand activations, including the Cannes Film Festival.
