eyelash

Men and women of ancient Egypt in 3500 BCapplied green- and black-toned ointments on their lashes and lids for functionality and style. Ancient Romans in 753-625 BC mixed kohl, and antimony or saffron, and burnt cork to thicken and darken lashes. European women in 476-1450 in the Middle Ages removed their brows and lashes to elongate their forehead.

Women in 1533-1603 dyed their brows and lashes in tones of red to imitate Queen Elizabeth’s reddish-gold hair. Eugene Rimmel, a London perfumer, introduced in 1840 the first nontoxic, commercial mascara.

The evolution of eyelash over the years

In 1923, the said patent was released, and the first eyelash curler was invented by William Beldue. In 1938, waterproof mascara was patented by Helene Vierhaler.
