American actress Dylan Mulvaney’s partnership with New York-based cosmetics company Maybelline has sparked backlash online. The 26-year-old social media influencer has previously come under fire for her partnership with several big names like Bud Light, Kate Spade, and Nike, with people taking drastic measures to call out the brands for taking “inclusivity” to another level.
On April 24, 2023, English internet personality Oli London took to his Twitter handle to share an old video of Mulvaney where she can be seen in a before and after video of getting ready by applying Maybelline products. He wrote:
“Maybe he’s born with it, maybe it’s Maybelline. The new face of Maybelline, ladies!”
