Inspiration for Retro Makeup

[ScarlettLover]

I love looking at old beauty advertisements to get inspiration for my makeup, and I thought I would share a few with you guys. Feel free to post yours!


(P.S. I did a search and I couldn't find a thread similar to this, so I'm sorry if this isn't the right section or something...I'm still kinda new to all this. )

I'll start it off with a few 60s ads (and one 1959).
