History

Established in 1984.

Cinema Secrets was founded by the Professional Makeup Artist, Maurice Stein. Maurice's reputation and expertise - earned from working over 25 years on some of Hollywood's brightest stars - made the Burbank beauty supply store an instant hit among entertainment industry professionals. With so much knowledge and experience, Maurice has made shopping at Cinema Secrets educational for all of their customers.

Since then Cinema Secrets has taken great strides to become an industry leader in cosmetic beauty supplies, special effects makeup, Woochie prosthetics, Halloween costumes and theatrical supplies. The addition of Woochie special effects makeup in 1992 marked the opening of the Cinema Secrets seasonal division that continues to provide the world with high quality novelty products.

Over his 50-year career, Maurice Stein's Academy Award-winning (Planet of the Apes, 1969) makeup artistry has touched the faces of some of the brightest stars of film, television, and commercials--even three US presidents. He has worked on over 200 films and television shows and has more than 4,000 commercials to his credit.

In 1984, when he retired as a showbiz makeup artist to found a small cosmetics and special effects supply in Burbank, Maurice's Cinema Secrets became an instant hit among makeup artists, studios, and many of "Hollywood's most expensive faces." The family-run business outgrew its location within three years and moved to the current building on Riverside Drive.
