Explanation

Maybelline was indeed named after Maybel, the sister of its founder Thomas Lyle Williams. In 1915, Williams created the first mascara formula by mixing coal dust with Vaseline, and the brand was named after his sister Maybel who had inspired him to create it. Estee Lauder, Revlon, and LOreal are major cosmetics brands but were not named after the inventor's sister.
