La mascara, so what?

Mascara

A cosmetic used to darken, emphasize, thicken, lengthen and define lashes

History:

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. Users wet a brush and rubbed it over the cake, then applied it to the eyes. Mascara is used by women to enhance eyes as well as draw attention to them. The modern tube and wand applicator did not appear until 1957.

Use:

Mascara may be used on all eyelashes, from inner to outer corners. The mascara wand is dipped into a clean tube of mascara, applied close to the base of the lashes and worked out to the tips. Mascara wands are made of plastic and should never be shared. Mascara brushes can be straight or curved, to curl eye lashes, with fine or thick bristles. Mascara can be applied to the top eyelashes or to the bottom lashes to widen the eyes. It is usually applied to curled lashes. The desired lengthening effect is achieved by reapplication of the mascara in 2-3 minutes.

Health:

Mascaras should be discarded 3 months after opened.
