Maybelline was very influential in the 1920's women's movement, because it allowed women to create their own identities. With endorsements from these major Film Stars, Maybelline began to appear in even the most modest lady's toiletries. Look at these beautiful Actresses and think about the impact they had on your great grandmothers and grandmothers in the 1920's.
