I was just thinking about the significant periods of my crossdressing when I was "moving to the next level".
I remember fondly when "matt" makeup was all the rage in the late 80's. It was a time when I had just seriously started purchasing and experimenting with it's application. It was all new to me and I was impressed that GG's had this stuff to wear. I particulary recall the lipsticks of the time - pale shades of peach, pink, purples and similar. Strangely, I have no recollection of what the eyeshadows were like?
I once purchased an expensive perfume tax free whilst on a cruise ship in 1987 - I think it was callled "ANAI ANAI" - and it was a beautiful fragrence! It is the only time I have ever bought a top range perfume and I made it last for years and to this day I miss it terribly. I often go into department stores and wander through the perfume department just to get a good vibe from the samples.
The other clothing fad back in those days (the 80's) were coloured pantyhose. Gosh, I had everything from pink thru to lime green to bright red to orange! Dunno whether i'd wear them today, but i remember being overwhelmed by the colour choices! At least they all matched with the black pumps!
I kinda miss the style of makeup that was around back then - not so "glossy" like current makeup. Does anyone else wish they could still obtain a favourite makeup, perfume or clothing style from their past?
