Empowerment Through Education Contest

Maybelline New York believes education opens doors to endless opportunities

This past November, Maybelline New York honored our third annual group of ten amazing women who made a difference in their communities by working in support of educational causes. With the help of PEOPLE®, People® en Español and Essence® magazines, we searched for ten inspirational women who have worked to inspire, motivate, teach, mentor and elevate people's lives through the power of education in their communities. Maybelline New York flew our ten awardees to New York City for a gala awards luncheon where we celebrated them and presented each of our winners with a $10,000 grant to help them continue their work. Their stories and photos also appeared in the pages of PEOPLE®, People® en Español and Essence® magazines.

We're proud to honor these inspiring women who use the power of education to change lives. Get inspired; click to read more.
