THE TERRI COSMETICS CORPORATION, United States

Founded by Terence Emmett Ryan Jr., Terri was manufactured through the American Perfumers’ Laboratories Inc. created in Providence, Rhode Island. Although, the creator sought after a European aesthetic for its packaging, focusing most on an affinity for Spanish cultural markings. Another aesthetic driver for the company was to add a chain or a strap to the compacts. The Terri Cosmetics Corporation was driven by its founder’s aesthetics and innovation. After he left the company to start a new venture, Terri did not last. It seemed that Terrence Emmet Ryan Jr. was able to keep up with the quickly changing needs of American women wearing makeup.
