The History of Cinema Secrets: The Legacy of Maurice Stein

Cinema Secrets Pro Cosmetics has been a cornerstone of the beauty industry for over 40 years. Founded in 1985 by renowned makeup artist Maurice Stein in Burbank, California, the brand was established to provide high-quality, pigment-rich corrective makeup products and superior brush cleaning solutions tailored for the film and television industry.

Maurice Stein: A Visionary Artist
