I can’t remember if it was an advert for something but there was a man with long hair and eye make up and a cloak who was just standing there ? But I don’t remember a product ? Maybe I was distracted by him 😂😂 for some reason it popped into my mind today after reading a thread about adverts and I can’t for the life of me remember what it was for ? !

This is the advert that came to mind with your description. This seemed to be on every flaming advert break for ages so became just background in the end I think

No 😭

It’s driving me mad I wish I could remember I can literally see his face in my mind . I think the make up was dark eye make up and almost a shimmery complexion

Not him . It was definitely some kind of advert as I remember seeing it a lot and it wasn’t very long ? Dm is sure it was something wintery to do with Christmas ? I don’t think it was Christmas

Now I’ve started thinking of the Maxell tapes advert from the 80s with Pete Murphy from Bauhaus in it. Too early for your advert but it was my favourite ad and now I’m googling it whilst searching for yours 😂

I’m sure it was because dm used to always make me make her a cup of tea when the adverts were on! So in between programmes I would be back and forth to the kitchen and I have distinct memories of walking back into the room and catching the last bit of it so many times
