MARY QUANT'S
FACE IN THE CLOUDS
[1971]
''Please don't make my new colours
look like old colours''
Your new eye brows ✿ Take a dry mascara brush, and brush eyebrows upwards. Then take one of the pinkier of our new lipsticks. Put some on the end of the brush, and tinge the hairs on your eyebrows. You're on your way.
Lashes help your new look ✿ Your lashes should look very natural and fine. Mary Quant's Wisps on the top, Ultra-Fine Lower Lidders on the bottom. Finishing touches with two light coats of Brown/Black Tearproof Mascara.
Your Skin ✿ To contrast the lovely new colours keep your skin pale and matte. Mary Quant's Nature Tint or Starkers in Light and Beige. And Face Final in Translucent. And then you're flying solo.
And now, the bridge of your nose✿ Cover the whole area under your eyes and across your nose with Moody Blue Eye Gloss. Then you've a soft shiny base to work from.
How to make your eyes look different ✿ Take some Skylark Jeepers Peepers. Blend the blues with the applicator and brush over the Eye Gloss. Give some depth and shading to your eyes by using the deeper blue in the eye socket. At the edge, blend the colour lightly to merge with your skin tone.
Meanwhile up on the browbones ✿ Smooth on lots of Pink Eye Gloss, taking your curves wide, and gliding out onto your cheeks.
Your Lips. Make them shine ✿ If you want your Face in the Clouds, your lips must be shiny, natural and pink. Mary's new colours are Sundown, Sky Blue Pink, Cloud Pink, and Moonshine. All with definite extra-terrestial overtones.
At the ends of your fingers, your nails ✿ Very Bluey, Mary's new nail colours. Pie Eyed, Moon Glow, Pie in the Sky, and Hazy Heather.
