I am back old skool make up man. HAIRSPRAY and POWDER

neither i have used for the last 5 years. I was, as a yoof, a veteran of elnett back combing.

this is not making me look cakey - have powder things changed?
ALSO hairspray - stops the frizz - how had I forgotten?!

Always use loose powder & elnett. Temper iced champink lippy by Avon & pinking sheer two tone nail varnish by boots 17. And the green hair gel in a tub, I can smell
It now!

Remember. Not temper.

I remember Iced Champink! I wore Pacific Prawn lipstick, lots of black eyeliner, and seriously big hair secured in place by that green hair gel and Silvikrin hairspray - could hardly get through doorways! I remember when the first hair mousse came onto the market - it was pretty much the most exciting thing to happen to us Aberdeenshire village girls. It was the future Grin
