Introduction

Maybelline or Maybelline New York is an American multinational cosmetics, skin care, fragrance, and personal care company, based in
New York City. It was founded in Chicago in 1914, and has been a subsidiary of French cosmetics company L'Oréal since 1996.

The Maybelline Company was founded in Chicago by Thomas Lyle Williams in 1915.

Williams noticed his older sister Mabel applying a mixture of Vaseline and coal dust to her eyelashes to give them a darker, fuller look. He
adapted it with a chemistry set and produced a product sold locally called Lash-Brow-Ine.

Williams renamed his eye beautifier Maybelline in her honor. In 1917, the company produced Maybelline Cake Mascara, "the first modern
eye cosmetic for everyday use," and Ultra Lash, the first mass-market automatic, in the 1960s.

In 1967, the company was sold by Williams to Plough Inc. (now Schering-Plough) in Memphis, Tennessee. The entire cosmetic production
facility was moved from Chicago to Memphis over one weekend. In 1975, the company moved to Little Rock, Arkansas, where it is still
located. In 1990, Schering-Plough sold Maybelline to a New York investment firm, Wasserstein Perella & Co. Maybelline’s headquarters
remained in Memphis until its acquisition by L'Oréal in 1996. Its headquarters was then moved to New York City in 1996 and its factory to
Brooklyn in 2000.

Maybelline received a boost when the company hired Lynda Carter as the company's beauty fashion coordinator after her television series
ended; she also appeared in several of its television and print advertisements. Josie Maran, Miranda Kerr, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Melina
Kanakaredes, Zhang Ziyi, Siti Nurhaliza, Fasha Sandha, Sheetal Mallar, Julia Stegner, Jessica White and Kristin Davis have endorsed
Maybelline products. The current faces of Maybelline are Adriana Lima, Christy Turlington, Charlotte Kemp Muhl, Emily DiDonato,
Beatriz Shantal, Jourdan Dunn, Josephine Skriver, Gigi Hadid, ITZY, Liza Soberano and Urassaya Sperbund. In 1981, the company
adopted its advertising slogan Maybelline, Maybelline Ooh La La which was used until 1991 when the tagline changed to Maybe she's born
with it, maybe it's Maybelline.[8] The slogan was named as one of the most recognizable straplines of the past 150 years, according to CBS
Outdoor.

Criticism
In 1989, L'Oréal ceased to use animal testing in finished products prior to launch and committed to developing alternative methods.
According to a 2010 report, though, it is required by law in some countries to use animal testing. In 2021 the Web site of People for the
Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) reported that Maybelline tested on animals.

Background
Collaborations
In January 2019, Maybelline collaborated with the German fashion brand Puma for its limited edition collection that was marketed as
Maybelline X Puma. It was claimed as the multi-taking athleisure-inspired collection and consisted of 5 products. Adriana Lima was chosen
as the ambassador for the collaboration.

Goal
By combining technologically advanced formulations with on-trend expertise and New York edge, Maybelline New York's mission is to offer
innovative, accessible and effortless cosmetics for every woman.

DESIGN THINKING

I altered the maybelline make-up container to light colors because I


observed they only use bright colors. Women nowadays analyze not only
the product but also the package.
