I found this buried deep in my back garden along with a load of other stuff.

It looks like miners make up from some time ago, it was inside a sellotape tin like the one in the pic attached.

I'm wondering how long it's been down there for, google tells me that the sellotape tins are from the 50s just wondering if anyone can date the make up.

@PancakePattie is right @ElizabethManwaring. I have a Design background, too and my guess by typeface and packaging would have been 90's, too. But the ads with the matching logo are clearly from the 60s as you can see on my pinterest link on Page 1 and when you google. You can easily find ads from all the decades, and the font is different every decade. It's still around now but uses a circular swirl logo instead of the M now.
The only ads I can see with logo versions with matching font and the name inside the m are from the 60s or possibly earlier.

I used Miners lip gloss in the early 80's i think.

The eyeliner could have been in a tin in the garden to be put on after she had left the house.....

This is an original 70’s miners eyeshadow. My DM was given it in a goodie bag from a visit to the miners factory on a college trip! I had another one in a darker blue but I lost it.
