This company has Eye Liner, Shadows, Blushes, and many other products. Presently Maybelline has over different kinds of products. These products are available in around countries. This is one of the major reasons behind the success of the brand. This would create a huge market for the company to sell their products if the company were to launch cheap cosmetics with better quality. Thus, the company launched its new products in an affordable price ranges for middle class working women.
The high quality and affordable prices made the brand more popular with women. Marketing makeup to women may not sound like a revolutionary idea today, but, back in the early s, it was a challenge. Cosmetics were "left to the theater and the women outside the pale of good society," Williams said in an interview in via Made in Chicago Museum.
By utilizing silent film stars in his Maybelline advertisements, Williams was able to demonstrate to women what their lashes could look like and, thus, helped makeup extend beyond the cinema. Instead of selling their original cent Cake Mascara in stores, Maybelline created a cent version — which Sharrie called "the Depression size" — for retail purposes. Making products accessible to every woman was far from the only way Maybelline changed the makeup game, though. Although it is an industry standard today, Maybelline's mascaras were among the first to be presented in an upright display — aka "carded merchandising" — as opposed to piled on a shelf or counter.
Maybelline also propelled "before and after" advertisements into the mainstream and was among the earliest to earn the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval. Maybe it's Maybelline. In fact, Maybelline had several early slogans — and many of them didn't exactly roll off the tongue. A Maybelline advertisement from via Made in Chicago Museum read, "Beautiful eyelashes and eyebrows make beautiful eyes; beautiful eyes make a beautiful face. Over time, the two-word slogan morphed into a slightly longer but very similar "quality, yet sensibly priced.
According to the Made in Chicago Museum, Williams long believed that quality makeup was as good as "being born with it. By , Maybelline was thriving. However, its founder was not. He began looking for a buyer. The new company promised to keep Maybelline in Chicago, but that promise was quickly broken. Sharrie said her great-uncle was "heartbroken" upon seeing his former employees were being let go.
Maybelline's headquarters was quickly moved to Memphis, Tenn. By the mid '90s, Cosmair had become one of the biggest cosmetics company in the United States and was responsible for brands like Giorgio Armani and Lancome. Since Maybelline was founded back in the s, the company has utilized many forms of advertising.
From newspapers to radio to television, the label has pretty much tried it all. Sharrie presents a fascinating journey through the history of the beauty business and cosmetics advertising, along with the story of a loyal yet dysfunctional family. Throughout the 20th Century, the Maybelline company inflated, collapsed, endured and thrived in tandem with the nation's upheavals, as did the family that nurtured it, Sharrie says.
She adds that four generations of Williams relatives either worked for the company or were heirs to what they perceived as its legacy: "Glamour at all costs. Sharrie says she wanted to show the humanity, glamour and the seedy underside of a "family intoxicated by the quest for power, wealth and physical perfection.

Hazel Peterson, the supervisor, stopped any chit-chat if it got anywhere near disruptive. There were two smaller rooms, former retail store spaces, that were set up to produce this new packaging. The latter was proving to be a smash hit in the marketplace, and we were still running behind to keep pace with demand when I started.
Sharrie also remembers just one docking station for all shipping and receiving by truck, and one freight elevator, which led to a warehouse and storage area. Also, there was a line of active retail store space along the Clark Street frontage. A Rexall drug store occupied the point of the building, wrapping around to the Ridge Avenue frontage. Also, in no order, there was a barber shop, a short-order restaurant, an ice cream store, a hardware store, and finally a currency exchange.
Many of the residents were also Maybelline employees, so they only had to go downstairs to go to work! Dale N. Meyer, who worked for the company in the s along with his mother and future mother-in-law, shared these memories with the Made In Chicago Museum:.
There were only three of us in that area. Everyone who worked there loved the company because Tom, Ches, Rags and everyone in management were fantastic.

Maybelline was still based in Edgewater as late as the mid s, and was still doing well financially.
