Monday October 24, 2005
Need a little make-up to complete your Hallween costume? Not surprising. Cosmetics have been around for centuries completing costumes, so to speak, and sometimes with horrific results. Read Paint a Vivid Picture Collecting Vintage Cosmetics to find out the good, the bad and the ugly when it comes to painted faces through the ages. You'll also learn more about what collectors seek in the way of vintage beauty items. Yes, believe it or not, grandma's old face powder boxes and cold cream jars might be worth something.
