19 magazine, 1970s, beauty, Boots, Boots Seventeen, Hair and make-up, Inspirational Images, Make-up, Vintage Adverts
Misty eyes. Seventeens whole new eye look. No hard lines. Just soft, misty smudgy colours. Start with Pearly Shadow. Any one of 4 colours: Pearly Slate, Clean Green, Hot Chocolate, or Pearly Azure. And smooth it from your eye lashes to the crease line. Now take a Smudge Liner/Shadow pencil. There are six shades for you to choose from. Put a soft, smudgy line of colour round your eyes, close to the lashes. Then use any one of Seventeens eight Liquid Mascaras on your lashes. You’ll be misty eyed.
