perfume and cosmetics, 1978

Shelley was THE quintessential Charlie Girl and appeared in many, many ads for the brand around the world. In 1978, she appeared in an ad that promoted "Charlie's Brush Portfolio"- a set of specialty makeup brushes made up of The Blusher Brush, The Lip Brush, The Brow and Lash Brush - makeup tools needed to perfectly apply all those fabulous new Charlie colors. It could be purchased for just $6.50 for any $5.00 purchase or more from the Charlie or Chaz Collections. Shelley, of course, appeared in the ad, looking absolutely Charlie gorgeous as always.
