Brushes and More

for Charlie 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" dividend. It was 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. Charlie Real Live Blush and Charlie Extra-Extra Shine Lipgloss in just-for-Charlie colors were an added plus to the already fabulous dividend. An artwork of Shelley appeared on the ad, of course, and Shelley looked fab even in artwork.
