Wasn’t make up ads lovelier back then? Some of these I could happily frame and hang on the wall. And some I would love to try out, like this liquid lipstick.
I love that the ad tells you which colour on the lipstick goes with the colours of the clothes!
Worth mentioning again- not all lipsticks were red in the 1940's, as can be seen here.

My daughter brought back a bottle of liquid lipstick (applied with a brush that tickles) for me from a trip to London.
ReplyDeleteI love the Tangee ad with the different colors! I've been meaning to go to the cosmetics store and hunt down something other than my usual red or coral lipstick... I think I might look for something a bit lighter inspired by the ad. ;)
ReplyDeleteAuntie: I didn't know they make that anymore. :) What is the brand called?
ReplyDeleteCasey: Me too! I love red lipstick, but it's nice with variation.
