Maybelline ad's in the 1960's, were seen more in fashion magazines, than movie magazines, and a new target market emerged as teenage Boomer's discovered glamour and their own style.
Maybelline's new eye shadow stick was a big hit in 1960 and came in 5 iridescent, jewel-tone shades for $1. When I turned 13 in 1960 my mother and Nana gave me a makeup bag for my Birthday, filled with all the Maybelline products seen in this ad. Of course I didn't wear it to school, but I felt very grown up knowing I had my own makeup and a pair of low heal, high heals, ready to go, if the time ever came when I might need them.
When I was a teenager, being a Fashion Diva was the key to finding the perfect guy and having a perfect life. So did it happen? Yes and no. But you'll have to read The Maybelline Story to find out.
