vintageindianclothing: Her eyes speak of innocence… her bindi expresses her charm. Shingar made from the best ingredients in colours to match your every mood. Advertisement in Eve’s Annual, 1978. To finish up with the 1980s, a look at liquid kumkum that was probably last used extensively in the 1980s. Certainly Shingar, now more than 50 years old as a brand, has never updated its packaging which featured an early 1980s Swaroop Sampat (pic 1). Apart from cylindrical bottles with different coloured liquids (Shingar came in more than one colour) you also had the carousel sort of container (pic 2). Patterns like in pic 2 could be easily created with a set of liquids. By the 1990s the stick on bindi packets were the bindis of choice. The liquids are still around but like powders before them they have had their day. -- source link
