ABOUT MB COSMETICS
A Story of Two Sisters,
One Creative Legacy
Two sisters, one classroom
In 2013, a family move to Cayo changed the plan. Maddie was meant to finish her last year of junior college and Barbie was headed for nursing school, but the move landed them side by side, enrolled in the very same business program. Choosing to be practical and finish that degree together quietly opened every door that came after.
Then their paths split - and that made all the difference
Maddie · The Artistry
The gamble that became a craft
When a cousin, then a friend, kept asking Maddie to do their makeup, she realized her “hobby” was really a calling. In 2015 she put a makeup course on her credit card, not even sure it was real, and the gamble paid off. A 2017 trip to Los Angeles turned into a course at the TNT Agency, and by 2018 she was working as a makeup artist at the Latin Grammy Awards and the Latin American Music Awards, building her name as Makeup by Maddie.
Barbie · The Business
The plan she never let go of
Barbie earned the family's pick to pursue a Bachelor's at Galen University, where she was chosen as a university ambassador and joined an exchange program in Canada that sharpened her business edge. She graduated Cum Laude in Business Administration with a concentration in Marketing, and built a full business plan for a lash enterprise she couldn't yet fund, but never stopped believing in.

A young company, a global pandemic, and a refusal to quit
They launched barely a year before COVID-19 turned everything upside down. Instead of folding, they poured in time, creativity, and effort — and the demand for their high-quality products held strong. What came out the other side was a real team of creative, business-savvy entrepreneurs who'd learned to trust the process.
