This is an experimental make-up session using the original (un-opened) Biba make-up from the early 70’s. I had no idea what look I was going for when I started and just went with the flow. I have a huge selection of the original make-up so just put lots of shades on the make-up table and picked up various colours I felt would work as I went along.
I chose Claudia Devlin to apply this look to, not just because she’s amazing but also because I feel she really fits the Biba aesthetic and her face really inspired me. Working with these products, developed using the technology of the late 60’s, was an eye opener. No crease proof, long lasting formulations for a start. Also the very high pigment levels plus no silicones means a lot more blending!! Interesting enough once the make-up was finished all it took was one quick wipe over with make-up remover and everything was completely gone…this make-up was not designed to last!
I hope you enjoy watching this little bit of make-up history come to life!

These colors remind me of an old sugar pill pallet I have
This is the best makeup video on YouTube.

Wow this look you created is incredible!! I love the lashes on the bottom and how you blended purple and green together… two of my favorite colors to use in makeup!! I love makeup so much and it sure is incredible to see these old fashion products used! I can imagine it’s kind of sad to open something like this that is so rare though!! Thank you so much for sharing this experiment

Claudia is so beautiful, I'm glad she didn't get a pink eye. You're my favorite makeup artist, Lisa. You inspire me to start my own vintage makeup collection!
This makeup reminds me of an aurora.
I absolutely adore this video. The passion in your voice when you talk about biba, the model, coming from the past to kill this look, the beautiful colors and of course, your art. Amazing.
I love vintage powder compacts, they look beautiful on my makeup table.
I wear my 50 year old Yardley Slickers. They still smell and look great. I don't know what the scent was, but it's instant happiness to me.
this is really pretty
I ♡ this look sO much.
Thank you for sharing.
Simply Gorgeous!
Amazing!
Speechless…such a beautiful work by you
It's Beautiful… I'm getting strong vibes of Galliano

Beautiful job. Now all she needs is the hair. I love it!
