DALLAS, Sept. 18, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- For an iconic cosmetics company with a mission to enrich women's lives, nothing is more exciting than to deliver beauty and opportunity to Peruvian women. The multibillion-dollar beauty company officially opened its doors on September 1 and celebrated with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on September 15 in Lima. With a 54-year history, and operations in nearly 40 countries, this expansion strengthens Mary Kay's already solid foundation in Latin America.

Mary Kay President & CEO David Holl cut the ribbon with Mary Kay executives to officially open the company's newest market, Peru.

The globally-recognized company, with millions of Independent Beauty Consultants around the world, made an initial investment of $9 million USD in the Peruvian subsidiary. It is based in Lima, covering operations for the entire country. The company enters its newest market, following its recent and successful launch in neighboring Colombia in 2015.

"As the demand for high quality products increases and the entrepreneurial spirit strengthens with the country's economic growth, we anticipate a successful launch in Peru."
