Daringly Deco Scarlet - a photo on Flickriver

            This little red Bakelite pot with the letter L embossed on its lid is a pot of 1930s “Mandarin” Leichner Cosmetics rouge, which still contains its original sponge, a mirror on the inside of the lid, and most of the contents, which are a wonderful shade of scarlet.

This year the FFF+ Group have decided to have a monthly challenge called “Snap Happy”.  A different theme, or a selection of themes to choose from or combine is provided on the 5th of every month, and the image is to be posted on the 5th of the following month.

The theme for January is “scarlet”.  I thought this simple little scarlet lidded pot met the theme perfectly.  With the black background I thought it really brought out the scarlet colour of the Bakelite lid, and the mirror helps give it a sense of luxury, which of course this little pot of makeup once would have been when released in the 1930s.

In 1878 Ludwig Leichner started a business producing stage make up. Over the years it soon established a strong reputation for vivid colours and reliable products for the stage and screen. By the mid thirties many female artistes who were delighted with the Leichner Stage Make-Up were demanding a cream, which they could wear off stage. The Camera Clear range was introduced starting with the famous Camera Clear Tinted Foundation which is unchanged to this day.
