Celebrating Google’s 27th Birthday: A Journey of Innovation
From a humble start in a garage to a global tech giant, Google is celebrating its 27th birthday! What an incredible journey it has been. It’s a moment to reflect on how this company changed the way we access information, connect with others, and experience the world. This celebration isn’t just about a company; it’s about the evolution of technology and its impact on our daily lives. As we celebrate this milestone, we at Mimic Makeup, a brand dedicated to making premium beauty accessible, want to explore this journey and share how you can add a little extra sparkle to your own celebrations.
Just like Google continually innovates, the world of beauty is always evolving. Today, let’s look back at Google’s history while celebrating the trends that make us feel confident and ready to take on the world.
A Look Back at 27 Years of Google
It’s hard to imagine a time before Google. Did Google exist 20 years ago? Yes, and even further back. Born from a research project in 1996, the company was officially founded on September 27, 1998. The name “Google” itself is a play on “googol,” a mathematical term for the number 1 followed by 100 zeros, reflecting the mission to organize a seemingly infinite amount of information on the web.
Over the years, many have wondered, “Why is Google’s birthday September 27?” While the company was incorporated on a different date, September 27th is the day they’ve chosen to celebrate, often marked with a fun “Google Doodle.” These doodles have become a beloved tradition, sometimes featuring interactive games like the popular google birthday surprise spinner. Who doesn’t love a good surprise, whether it’s an online game or finding the perfect new lip tint?
This journey has been filled with milestones. From launching Gmail and Google Maps to acquiring YouTube, Google has continuously expanded its horizons. Speaking of YouTube, many creators use the platform to share their passion, from tech reviews to makeup tutorials. It’s a space where trends are born and shared, much like the ones we see with viral products like the Milk Makeup Cooling Water Jelly Tint, a sheer lip and cheek stain that provides a beautiful, buildable color.
Stay Flawless While You Search
As you dive into Google’s history, perhaps searching “what was Google called in the 90s?” (it was Backrub!), you want to look and feel your best. A perfect base starts with a great primer. For a long-lasting look that will take you from a day of work to a night out celebrating, the e.l.f. Power Grip Primer is a must-have. If your skin needs a little extra love, the e.l.f. Power Grip Primer + 4% Niacinamide helps to even out skin tone while gripping your makeup.
Just as Google helps you find answers with precision, a good concealer can target imperfections flawlessly. The Hourglass® Vanish™ Airbrush Concealer offers a weightless, full-coverage finish that blurs and brightens for a seamless look. For a more luminous finish, the NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer is a cult classic that corrects, contours, and highlights.
To set your look, a high-quality powder is essential. The Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish Setting Powder is a micro-fine powder that helps prevent excess shine and brightens your complexion. Another fantastic option is the Hourglass® Vanish Airbrush Pressed Powder, which gives a filtered, airbrushed look in an instant.
Add a Pop of Color to Your Celebration
Google’s logo is known for its vibrant colors, and what better way to celebrate than by adding a pop of color to your makeup routine? Blushes have taken the beauty world by storm, and there are so many innovative formulas to try. The rhode Pocket Blush offers a creamy, buildable pigment for a sun-kissed glow on the go. For a juicy, vibrant cheek, the Pixi On-the-Glow Blush stick provides a hint of color while hydrating your skin.
Liquid and cream blushes give a natural, dewy finish that’s perfect for any occasion. The NARS Afterglow Liquid Blush melts into the skin for a lasting, radiant glow. Similarly, the Hourglass® Unreal Liquid Blush provides a silky, second-skin finish that looks effortlessly beautiful.
And we can’t forget foundation. A flawless base is key. The Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Longwear Foundation provides a full-coverage, matte finish that stays put all day, perfect for any birthday festivities you might have planned.
The Perfect Pout for Any Occasion
Lip products are the finishing touch to any look. Whether you prefer a subtle tint or a high-shine gloss, there’s a product out there for you. At Mimic Makeup, our mission is to bring you the best, and our curated selection of lip products is a testament to that.
For deep hydration with a hint of color, lip oils are a fantastic choice. The Summer Fridays Dream Lip Oil provides a glossy finish and a touch of sheer color, while the Gisou Honey Infused Lip Oil nourishes and plumps your lips with the power of Mirsalehi Honey. The YSL Loveshine Plumping Lip Oil Gloss is another luxurious option that combines the shine of a gloss with the care of an oil.
If you love a rich, buttery texture, the Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm is a viral sensation for a reason. It hydrates and soothes dry lips instantly. The rhode Peptide Lip Tint offers sheer-but-buildable color with a glossy finish, all while restoring and replenishing your lips. For a more defined look, the rhode Peptide Lip Shape liner helps you sculpt and define.
For an overnight treatment that works while you sleep, the LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask EX – Berry is an iconic product that delivers intense moisture. And for a simple, hydrating daily option, the Pixi +Hydra Lip Treat is a tinted balm that gives a subtle wash of color.
Don’t Forget the Details
Great makeup isn’t complete without stunning lashes and protected skin. The Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High® Mascara delivers limitless length and full volume, making your eyes pop.
Before you even think about makeup, sun protection is crucial. The La Roche-Posay Anthelios Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 offers broad-spectrum protection with a lightweight, non-greasy feel.
To keep your skin healthy and glowing from within, a good serum is key. The La Roche-Posay Hyalu B5 Serum – Hyaluronic Acid + Vitamin B5 helps to replump and hydrate the skin, while the La Roche-Posay Vitamin C12 Serum – Pure Vitamin C + Salicylic Acid brightens and refines skin texture.
