Discontinued makeup brands you remember?

[Chouxs]

Evette, from Woolworths.
Didn't Debenhams briefly have their own range a few years ago?

And Miss Selfridge make up I had a lipstick called Copperknockers. Mary Quant in black packaging with her flower logo on it

Ultima II

@hazelgrey was just going to mention Shaders and Toners!!

Someone above mentioned Beauty without cruelty, they may still be going.

Constance Caroll was the first range I remember having myself.

Collection 2000, I just remember bright colours

Collection 2000 still in Boits ( I'm nearly certain)

Shout out for Collection 2000

@ToffeeNotCoffee

Make up from the 1980's. I miss it. Whilst cringing that it was over 40 years ago !!

I still have to hunt for blue mascara, I just prefer it.

I remember wearing blue mascara to an office job interview in the 1980's - I didn't care. Even my Cinderella moment when my shoe fell of my foot as I went upstairs for the interview !

Yes, I got the job.

I love blue mascara, I buy it from Collection2000 in Superdrug or Boots.

Talking of Shaders and Toners reminds me of Glints hair colours, stylish packaging!

I had that lipstick! There was also a shimmery buttercup yellow nail polish in the range called Butterfingers - I wore it for school, and instantly got sent down to the Chemistry lab to take it off with acetone

I also wore bright blue mascara and Twilight Teaser lipstick from Boots 17 which was a pearlised two tone lilac and pink colour and made me look like a corpse

Coty. Fabulous foundations & powder in a gold & tortoiseshell box

Yardley make up, still mourn their pink lipstick

Helena Rubinstein

Mary Quant of course

Almay

@VeronicaBeccabunga

Miners. I saved up for an eyeshadow set called 'Panda Eyes'. The colours were green and yellow, blue and purple so ideal to make yourself look as if you either had a recent black eye, or one that was a few days old.

Boots 17 lipgloss in a little square pot in the colour called 'toasted honey', the flavour of many a teenaged snog.

I had that panda eyes set too. I mostly used the green and yellow. I must have looked ill!!
They also did little tubes of liquid eye gloss stuff and the white one could be used as a base and also over coloured eyeshadow and helped it stay on. I used a lot of that!!

@Practicebeingpatient

I used to love Cover Girl back when Christie Brinkley was on all,the packaging.

My aunt used to work for a brand called Almay which died a death over 30 years ago. When I was clearing out my mums house recently I found several unopened products.

And I loved the Prescriptives custom blend foundation. I also had a custom blended lipstick made one year when they had a pop up counter in Harrods. My style has changed a lot since then and it's not a shade I'd wear anymore but I keep it as a reminder of happy times.

Don’t want to cause any upset but if you are not keeping the unopened Almay products for sentimental reasons and there is a face powder in a pink pot I would be very interested in purchasing it.

^^ it was loose face powder.

“Boots 17 lipgloss in a little square pot in the colour called 'toasted honey', the flavour of many a teenaged snog.”

That sentence is so evocative. I love mumsnet!

PP’s you are right! Collection 2000 still exists under the name Collection!

What was the the glints packaging? Was it in a pyramid shaped box?

Just looked up the glints! Not really a pyramid 🙈

Miners, which I used to buy in Tammy!
Also Boots 17 and Natural Collection.
Before that, Glitter Babes! They did stuff like glittery roll-ons. Aimed at kids and I loved it when I was 10/11.
H&M sold my go-to foundation in secondary school, came in a wide, flat squeezy tube and all the girls I knew had it!

The one I remember with the pyramid style box was Harmony hair colour.

Re; Almay, I'm trying to date it but I used to phone 'almay pharmacy' in London up to 2010 coz it was in my old house to order I their stick deodorant which didn't irritate whatsoever and didn't stain, they must've been hard to order from online or something if I phoned, not sure what happened after that, obviously they didn't have a shop for one item?

Ahhh. I miss Yardley. My Aunt once bought me a set of 6 eyeshadows. Beautiful colours and they had a lipstick called Turkish Delight! Miners did good mascara and I once bought a palette called eye shockers (part of the posh range). An acid yellow/ acid green, bright pink and blue. I wanted to piss off my mum by wearing shocking colours. Her response "Oh I like the way you have done your eyes" Dammit!

I also wore Outdoor Girl. They did a lovely clear gel foundation in a honey colour that was beautiful. I also wore one of their 'black girl range' lipsticks which, on reflection, was absolutely the wrong shade for me. Called Ripe Ackee it was a deep brownish purple colour. I like their bramble pink powder blush though.

Miners also did a lovely lipstick called purple haze. I also had a lipgloss called pink panther and they did a 'honey' range of lipsticks..I had one in a golden pink colour.

I really loved the Mary Quant range. Her lipsticks ruled. The best pinks, plums and reds. Also Miss Selfridge did a lovely red and a bright pink (nope did not suit me) called Pinkadilly which fuchsia-ed on me.

I really miss Helena Rubinstein which you can only get in Europe I think. Lovely mascaras and lipsticks. I had a lovely cherry red lipstick. Great foundation too.

I loved Yardley holly red. It really suited me I got through tons of then in the 80s, never found another make that suited as much

Just remembered the original Biba eyeshadows and the Mary Quant eyeshadows and nail polishes, especially Posh Prune. My favourite nail polish was Georgia Brown from Elizabeth Arden.

Does anyone remember Barry M?

I loved Boots 17. I started with a terracotta coloured lipstick called Ginger Spice and moved on to Shell Shimmer with a brown eye lip pencil outline I also had a 17 nail varnish that was invisible unless under UV light!

Does anyone remember Barry M?
Barry M isnt discontinued. I bought a load of Barry M make up for a young girls' pamper night at work a couple of weeks ago.

Another yes for Yardley Holly Red. It was fab. Also Geranium, that was a great lipstick too.
