Cosmetics, make-up box
Biba make-up paint box, containing various colours of eye shadow and blusher, plus cosmetic brushes. Biba launched its cosmetics range in April 1970. The range was novel for its use of distintive dark, 'sludgy' colours, such as brown, purple and black. The paint box was one of the company's best sellers and included Biba's most popular colours - plum and mulberry.
