HARPER'S BAZAAR, BEST MASCARAS OF ALL TIME?

                Best mascaras of all time

                       By Kari Molvar,

Some women go to serious lengths to avoid leaving the house with bare lashes (and then only with dark sunglasses on). That all-important flick of mascara frames your face, pulling together your entire look in a few strokes.

So which trusty wands have inspired the most devotion among the lash pack? Here,

      BAZAAR reveals the definitive list.


        Maybelline Great Lash Mascara

          
                       Why we love it:
This classic drugstore mascara has been thickening lashes since the ‘70s with its signature, easy-to-handle narrow wand and clump-free formula that resists smudging but washes off in a cinch.

   Iconic status: completely deserved.


Check in tomorrow and view - part one - of my interview with Steve Snyder of Vault Cars.  We will be discussing, Maybelline Icon, founder, Tom Lyle Williams, classic, 1940 Packard Victoria.

Happy 2012 from Sharrie Williams and The Maybelline Story

Happy New Year!!!!  I'm starting 2012 off with Erte's fabulous, 1920's Art Deco illustrations, and pictures of the most beautiful girls in the world!!!

I found this incredible Fresco painted in 1927, on a wall at the Hassayampa Inn, in down town Prescott, Arizona.  It captures the Erte, Art Deco era, just as women were coming out of their shell and making a statement, by wearing Maybelline for the first time. 

Between 1915–1937, Erte designed over 200 covers for Harper's Bazaar, and his illustrations appear in

 such publications, as Illustrated London News, Cosmopolitan, Ladies' Home Journal and Vogue.  Interesting fact, Lash-Brow-Ine and Maybelline, first appeared in these magzines at the same time.       

His delicate figures and sophisticated, glamorous designs are instantly recognisable, and his ideas and art still influence fashion into the 21st century. His costumes, programme designs, and sets were featured in the Ziegfeld Follies of 1923.

Tom Lyle Williams also captured the spirit of Art Deco, in his exquisite, Lash-Brow-Ine, and Maybelline Ads in the 1920s. This one features Gloria Swanson,

the Queen of Silent Films, Art Deco Era.
