1969 Alice Applying Band Emberton Gill Lip Stick Magnifying Mirror Toilet
EDITORS COMMENTS
This black-and-white photograph, taken in 1969, depicts a woman named Alice intently applying a vibrant pink lipstick to her lips using a magnifying make-up mirror. The mirror, perched precariously on a toilet tank, reflects her determined expression and the intricate details of her makeup application. The band of the mirror is visible at the bottom, adding a touch of vintage charm to the image. The 1960s were a decade of bold fashion statements and beauty trends, and this photograph encapsulates the era's glamour and allure. Alice's elegant red dress, accessorized with a pearl necklace and matching earrings, adds an air of sophistication to the scene. Her hair is styled in a classic updo, drawing attention to her expressive features. The use of a magnifying mirror was a popular technique during this time, as it allowed women to apply their makeup with greater precision and accuracy. The pink lipstick, a symbol of femininity and confidence, adds a pop of color to Alice's otherwise monochromatic outfit. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the rituals and routines of daily life during the 1960s, and the importance of beauty and self-care in expressing one's identity. The image invites us to reflect on the enduring power of makeup as a tool for self-expression and the role it plays in shaping our perceptions of beauty and femininity.
