Trivia: What is the bestselling brand of mascara in the U.S.?
CoverGirl
Maybelline
Lancôme
NYX Professional Makeup
The correct answer is Maybelline
So why is this answer correct? : With more than 50 different formulas on the market, Maybelline knows mascara. Thomas Williams founded the company in 1915 after creating a product for his sister Maybel, who liked putting petroleum jelly on her eyelashes for emphasis. Thomas added carbon dust to the jelly to darken it, much to the delight of his sister. Today, the drugstore company is the top-selling mascara brand in the U.S., and the pink-and-green-tubed “Great Lash” is their bestselling formula.
