Mascara

During the middle of the decade, mascara was available in cake, tube, wax and liquid mascara form and applied with a brush. Surprisingly enough, there were even waterproof formulations available.

To help the lashes along, ladies used a curler known as the Kurlash. Unfortunately, it was very difficult to use. Not sure if the same company is still in business, but I did find another lash curler on the net with the same name.
