From Coal Dust to Tubing Technology: A Look at Mascara and Its History
Apr 5, 2021
With a flake-proof, smudge-proof and run-proof formulation and dramatic length and volume that rival even traditional mascaras, Blinc's UltraVolume builds off mascara's century-long history to provide a stunning, lifted, full-glam look that lasts from the gym to the boardroom to a night on the town.
Here's a look at mascara innovation from its initial invention:
- 1917: Eugene Rimmel invents the first mass-market mascara
- 1938: The first waterproof mascara is invented
- 1960: The first "modern" mascara is created, utilizing brush-in-tube packaging
- 1988: The first clear mascara is launched
- 1995: Blinc launches the first tube forming mascara, offering ultra-longwear hold and effortless removal
- 2000s - 2010s: Many lengthening, volumizing and thickening mascaras hit the market
- 2021: The "perfect" mascara is achieved with Blinc's UltraVolume Tubing formulation
