Older brother was a cosmetic pencil pencil-dermatograf, invented in the late XIX century for the needs of medicine: with the help of doctors, surgeons separated on a patient's body area on which it was necessary to do the surgery. Soon dermatografy moved in cosmetic arsenal of popular actresses: in the twenties of the twentieth century it was fashionable to paint eyes intensely, creating an image of the femme fatale. And then the company Schwan-STABILO, formerly known as the manufacturer of office supplies, began to produce an eyebrow pencil to order a Hollywood makeup artist Max Factor.
