"If Mother uses Maybelline it must be pure and I can trust it." echoed the young voice of the day, and with Good Housekeeping deeming it harmless, tear-proof and non-smearing, any sweet sixteen could carry it in her purse without looking improper or worse, "cheap."
This might seem silly by today's standards, but in 1917 trying to convince a young girl to darken her eyelashes and eyebrows with Maybelline was nearly impossible. Only prostitutes and actresses dare be seen in public with made up eyes, but by the late 1930's, a new generation of women changed all that.
Maybelline was the first eye cosmetic company to have The Good Housekeeping Stamp of Approval and Tom Lyle Williams, marked the occasion by introducing Maybelline in a beautiful new red and gold metal case that was crush proof in a young girls purse.
A true mastermind, Tom Lyle Williams constantly inspired women to be more beautiful and thus more confident. In this ad he coined the word, Maybelline Mascara for the first time. Up until 1938, it had been known as Maybelline Eye Beautifier.
