The word mascara derives from the Italian word maschera, which means "mask". Modern mascara was created in 1913 by a chemist named T. L. Williams for his sister, Mabel. This early mascara was made from coal dust mixed with Vaseline petroleum jelly. The product was a success with Mabel, and Williams began to sell his new product through the mail. His company Maybelline, a combination of his sister's name and Vaseline, eventually became a leading cosmetics company.
Mascara was available only in cake form, and was composed of colorants and carnauba wax. Users wet a brush and rubbed it over the cake, then applied it to the eyes. The modern tube and wand applicator did not appear until 1957, when it was introduced by Helena Rubinstein.

How many animals are massacred to make the food you eat and the clothes you wear? Ive never heard mascara was made from pandas. But I have heard that eyeliner and mascara were made from bat feces and some liquid foundations get their pigment from placenta.

No. Actually it is called mascara from the Indonesian word, "mascarru", which translated into English means: big blob of black goop in your eye.

never heard that. Only problem I thought there was is testing it on animals. Don't think a panda is one of them . Thought they used pigs or something.
