INTERNATIONAL -- EUROPEAN COVER STORY

Across the Beauty Spectrum


MASS MARKET
L'Oreal has rapidly expanded its appeal to value-conscious customers with Maybelline. Once a nearly exclusive U.S. brand, it is now No. 1 in the U.S. and worldwide.

LUXURY PRODUCTS
From department stores to ''parfumeries'', L'Oreal's Lancome is the world's largest luxury skin-care and cosmetics brand, beating rivals Estee Lauder and Elizabeth Arden.

HAIR COLOR
L'Oreal products, such as Preference and Excellence, are No. 1 worldwide. Thanks in part to tech-inspired improvements, L'Oreal's Preference is neck-and-neck with once-dominant Clairol in the U.S.
