Lashes Away: Celebrating Maybelline’s Great Lash Mascara’s 40th Anniversary
In celebration of the 40th Anniversary of Great Lash, the number one best-selling mascara ever in the United States, Maybelline New York introduced a special limited edition collection inspired by and created with designers Max Azria, Tracy Reese and Vivienne Tam. Each designer took inspiration from their own collection to create their inspired, fresh takes on the iconic pink and green tube. Great Lash's history is deeply rooted in fashion. In
1971, Lilly Pulitzer, a then upand-coming designer known for her bright and cheery fabrics, inspired Great Lash's legendary pink and green tube and that unique color palette has become instantly recognizable and the symbol of an American beauty icon here in America and around the world. After 40 years, Great Lash remains America's favorite mascara for women and the go-to mascara for makeup artists.
