Studio Girl Cosmetics

Original ad here.

Everyone knows Avon and Mary Kay. But few recall "Studio Girl Cosmetics," although they endured for decades.

Here's a site dedicated to their memory, maintained by a descendant of the founder.

What I find most intriguing is that they appeared to have had a sideline of vinyl albums as well. Music to paint your face by?

Before my time. I buy the cheap stuff but rarely even that as I hardly ever wear any makeup at all. Its a laziness issue.

I think most guys prefer the "lazy issue" when it comes to make-up also. Seems most women who take their make-up seriously are fairly high maintenance and or vain.

I was crowned queen at a annual sales meeting in Chicago. Had to go to all the events with a tiara on my head. I am now 8O. The owner of the company was there, it was memorable.

A lot of girls are totally missed inform about what guys want because many of the men that I have talked to say they wish that their wives would wear a little bit of make up or a little bit of lipstick to make themselves look more decent and this is coming from guys who are not married also telling me the same thing how they wish their wives were a little bit more glamorous than what they carry themselves with sweat pants and leggings as fashion assessor I don’t understand where this concept comes from that if a woman puts a little bit of effort in the way that she look she must be high maintenance it’s not that I’m high maintenance it’s just that I give a damn how I look And present myself
