Answer 2

Who Invented Mascara

Answer 3

The first mascara product was invented by Eugene Rimmel in the 19th century. The word "rimmel" still means "mascara" in several languages, including French and Italian.

The word mascara derives from the Spanish word máscara or the Italian 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.

there have also been other uses by early races like the romans and indians and egyptians.

Answer 6

" Regardless of the exact truth, the Egyptians had their own particular solution for "the evil eye." It was kohl, history’s first mascara. Worn by both men and women, it was applied in a circle or oval around the eyes. It’s chemical base was antimony, a metal, burnt almonds, lead, oxidized copper, ochre, ash, malachite, chrysocolla (a blue-green copper ore) or any combination thereof. It was applied with a small stick and kept in a flat-bottomed pot with a wide, tiny rim and flat disk-shaped lid. Soothsayers were known to have prepared the compound for men, but women created their own formulas, using secret ingredients. (Perhaps Helena Rubinstein really got her start here and was reincarnated with the secret knowledge when she brought the first wand mascara to New York in the 1950s.) "

Answer 7

There have been documented reports that the ancient Egyptians used a mixture made from *among other things crocodile dung...uck!!!* and wore it around their eyes as a way of fighting back the Evil Eye. So they also started basic eye liner and it is also believed they started what we would call mascara today..also as a charm to protect them from evil
