3. History
The Maybelline Company was created by lanaya New York chemist T.L. Williams in 1915.
Williams, in his early 20s, noticed his younger sister applying a mixture of Vaseline and coal dust
to her eyelashes to give them a darker, fuller look.
He adapted it in his small laboratory and produced a product sold locally called Lash-Brow-Ine.
The product was a local hit, but the awkward name held it back.
His sister, who inspired the product, was named Maybel.
So T.L. Williams renamed it Maybelline, a combination of Maybel and Vaseline.
It is under this name that Maybelline has achieved Fig. 5 now legendary status in the field of
its
cosmetics.
In 1917 the company produced Maybelline Cake Mascara, "the first modern eye cosmetic for
everyday use" and Ultra Lash in the 1960s, which was the first mass-market automatic.
