Who invented?
Such a famous eye makeup product, like mascara, appeared in the middle of the 19th century. This type of cosmetics received its name because of the name of its inventor, whose name was Eugene Rimmel. His name in many languages sounds the same as the word mascara, this invention was named after him. Also, this tool has another name - "mascara", so it is called this cosmetics in the English-speaking countries, this term is translated as a protective mask. Previously, mascara looked quite different, it was a combination of vaseline and coal.
The modern mascara was invented at the beginning of the 20th century by the famous scientist Terry Williams, who first produced this product, which was widely recognized, and then he opened a wide production and began selling this tool. So this scientist formed his own cosmetic brand, which he called Maybelline. The name of his company was due to the unification in one word of the name of his sister, to whom he dedicated his invention, and the words Vaseline. His company is the very first and most ancient mascara for eyelashes, now it is still popular and one of the most famous.
At the beginning of the 19th century, this tool was dry, it included wax and dark dyes, it was produced in a flat jar. In order to apply this tool, a special brush was used, which was previously wetted, and then the mascara was distributed among the cilia. According to well-known manufacturers, they helped to promote this new kind of movie star makeup for the time, since many actresses tried to focus on the eyes so that they were larger and brighter. Previously, they used only a contour for the eyes, but it looked careless, and then the mascara looked on the eyelashes very different. That is why all make-up artists of film actresses began to use Maybelline mascara.
After the whole world found out what kind of makeup stars were making for themselves, women from every corner of the planet also wanted to buy such a tool. Thus, Hollywood stars helped to promote this product and make it very popular. Later, the mascara was tried to be modified by making the bottle and its application more convenient.

This action must be repeated until the hairs are painted over the entire length. Then it is necessary to separate the cilia with a special brush, comb for eyelashes.

After the product has dried, you can proceed to applying the second layer. This layer should be applied in the same way, but it should be spread more finely so that no lumps form and the eyelashes look as natural as possible.
