The bottom of the stick has a B on it, so I guess it was Brunette when it was full. It is Empty Now About 2 1/4" HighA Little HistoryThe Covermark line of cosmetics was developed because its founder, Lydia O’Leary, suffered from a large, raspberry-coloured birthmark – a port-wine stain or nevus flammeus – that covered half of the left-hand side of her face. She developed Covermark to ‘cover this mark’ and in doing so introduced the world to new classes of cosmetics.Lydia was one of six children born in 1900 in Bedford, Massachusetts to Henry and Hannah O’Leary. After attending high school she enrolled at the Fitchberg Normal School for Teachers, graduating in 1921. She then worked as a teacher for two years before moving to New York to work in retail. Unfortunately, according to legend, her attempts to get a sales job in any of the city’s department stores were rebuffed by job interviewers, who thought her facial disfigurement made her unsuitable for work with the general public.Above: 1936 Lydia O’Leary without and with Covermark.Exactly how she came to use make-up to cover her birthmark is an open question. One story suggests she got the idea while working as a placard painter, a job she took up after failing to get work as a sales assistant. According to this tale, after fixing a mistake by overpainting it, O’Leary wondered if she could cover her birthmark in the same way. The account may be a quaint fiction but it gets some support from the fact that the original Covermark was developed as a lotion and applied with a brush. However, given that make-up was widely available in New York in the 1920s, it seems extremely unlikely that O’Leary did not first try covering her skin blemish with make-up or greasepaint, and only moved on to making something of her own after discovering that nothing suited her particular needs.1938 Covermark Spot-Stik.1939 Spot-Stik as distributed in Britain by Splendor, Ltd.
