Welcome to the first episode of The Cosmetic Chronicles!

This episode delves into the rich history of Maybelline, a brand that has shaped the cosmetics industry for over a century. Listen as I explore the brand's origins in Chicago, their innovative products and marketing, the infamous Lash Lure scandal that led to significant changes in cosmetic safety regulations, and its evolution into a global powerhouse in the beauty market.
