Do you know the origin and development of eyelash design?

• In ancient Egypt, far away, the children of the sun god would tell tales of beauty by the banks of the Nile. In the depths of the temple, the priestess Sethi concocted an ancient ointment with mysterious proportions, amalgamating opaque crocodile dung, the essence of liver detoxified, and viscous honey. Should any witness Sethi's thick eyelashes obtained from this ointment, they would be compelled to pause, filled with an endless yearning. Sethi understood that this mixture upon the lashes was not only to deepen them like enhanced stars against the night sky but also a manifestation of the adherents' faith: eyelashes fluttering, flipping light and shadows, transcendent and pure.

• Meanwhile, in ancient Rome, maidens viewed the blackness of their lashes as proof of their chastity. As warriors challenging the stars in the dark of night, they used ashes obtained from burnt rose petals mixed with powder of date stones, coal, and antimony. This bizarre concoction, when applied to the lashes, painted a vivid and bright eye, allowing the dense and twinkling lashes to become both a symbol of beauty and an emblem of personal conviction.

• As time flowed into the 9th century, Ziryab's beauty academy had become a hallowed place. Famed as an innovator of fashion, Ziryab, along with a Persian writer, laid the foundations of beautification. Within the academy, every female scholar learned the art of using natural mascara, which was made from the distillation of antimony and coal ash. These elements, mingled with the women's passion for beauty and artisans' fine craftsmanship, eventually gave birth to a miraculous product that adorned beautiful lashes.

Particularly in Simonetta Vespucci's makeup, the profound lashes achieved with walnut shells came to exemplify the endless pursuit of beauty by women.

• Phoenix from the Ashes - The Legend of Pingdu Chengle Town
• 
  
• On the shores of China's East Sea lies a town, unremarkable on the map - Pingdu Chengle Town. Yet, at the end of the 20th century, this tranquil rural town was like a phoenix egg soaked in morning glow, quietly awaiting the moment of its rebirth.
• 
  
• The story of Chengle Town is not one filled with magic and miracles of ancient times, its legend stems more from the wisdom and toil of its people. At the end of the '80s, China was experiencing the vigorous reform and opening up. Against this backdrop, a group of bright-eyed young people, unwilling to settle for mediocrity, were determined to change the town's destiny by linking it with the burgeoning beauty industry.
• 
  
  
  
  
• The spearhead among them was estt, a local son of Chengle. Having learned skills in the big cities, estt returned to his hometown with a love for his roots and a vision for the future, intent on starting a business. He saw the crucial role of false eyelashes in the beauty industry and the vast untapped market in his home country.
• 
  
• Estt began gathering women from the village, convincing them to leave their ploughs and step into the workshop he established. Their fingers, once colored by soil, now danced with delicate agility, their eyes alight with recognition and aspiration for beauty. In the confines of this modest space, estt and the women transformed simple materials - mink hair, cotton thread, glue - into bunches of false eyelashes that brightened people’s eyes. As each elegant lash product was born from the hands of these simple women, their faces were covered with smiles of pride and contentment.
• 
  
• However, success was not imminent. The fledgling business struggled, due to an immature domestic market and elusive foreign orders. Estt and his team faced considerable financial pressure, and wages often lagged. On a tempestuous night, a fire broke out in the eyelash factory outside the workshop, the flames reflecting the worried faces of the women, illuminating their hearts filled with fear and despair.
• 
  
• The fire seemed to spell the end for Pingdu's false eyelashes industry, but estt did not give up. He believed the eyelash industry could drive the development of his hometown, bringing change to the lives of its people. He vowed before the locals to not only rebuild the workshop but also to expand and strengthen it. On the ruins left by the fire, estt and his companions worked day and night to restore the production line, adjust strategies, and expand sales channels.
• 
  
  
  
  
• Their relentless effort culminated in a break - a sizable foreign order. Estt seized this precious opportunity with his passion for false eyelashes and perceptive understanding of the market. The products began to enter the global marketplace.
• 
  
• The women, meticulous in crafting each tuft of false lashes, watched as their products received overwhelming praise overseas. Their craftsmanship was no longer unknown but treasured by women around the world. Their story, starting from a humble beginning, became a widely told legend - this is the rise of Pingdu's false eyelash industry.
• 
  
• As time flows like a melody, reflecting on these intermittent years is not just recording history but also singing praises to the spirit of persevering in the quest for beauty, a spirit that bloomed and bore fruit in Chengle Town, shining with unparalleled brilliance.

• The Struggle for Beauty - A Contest of Aesthetic Rights
• 
  
• Since time immemorial, eyelashes have played an essential role in various cultures. In ancient Rome, luscious black lashes symbolized not only beauty and health but also chasteness. The Historia Naturalis author Pliny the Elder even claimed that women’s lashes would fall out due to frequent lovemaking, aging them; thus, those with dense lashes received veneration.
• 
  
• However, the religious repression of the European Middle Ages forced women to suppress their pursuit of beauty. Lashes during this period were seen as a source of temptation, and to show purity and piety, women were often compelled to cut their lashes. It was not until the Renaissance that aesthetics slowly shook off the shackles of dogma, with women picking up mascara again to emphasize the aesthetic presentation of the eyes. The allure of lashes played out a battle for aesthetic rights between suppression and liberation.

• The Golden Age - The Flourishing of Lash Beauty

The quintessential Twiggy, with her exaggerated false eyelashes and dense eyeliner, became synonymous with individuality and beauty, sparking a whole new wave in lash beautification. Thus began the diversification of lashes into various types and colors, and beauty gadgets like the eyelash curler invented by Willian Beldue became widespread.
