Wolz, Ilme meikki

1973 · Commercial · 30 seconds

Wolz Italienne / Ruutukuva

A drawn, animated girl sits at a dressing table and puts her make-up on. Photographs were treated with airbrush, and at the end they reveal the live girl.

Drawing for Wolz Ilme meikki: a girl with long curls leans on a black dressing table before a black mirror, in a room of patterned wallpaper, plants, a birdcage and a black cat.
A face drawn in a few black lines, framed by curls, with photographed eyes in blue and brown eyeshadow set into it. A mouth drawn in black line, a photographed dark red lipstick in a gold case painting the lower lip. A finger drawn in black line, a fine brush painting its nail glossy red with dark spots like a ladybird. An airbrushed photograph of a single grey eye with long dark lashes, cut out against white. An airbrushed photograph of glossy red lips, the tongue licking the upper lip, cut out against white.

The end of Wolz Ilme meikki: a photographed young woman with long auburn hair sits in the drawn room behind the black dressing table, Wolz lipsticks and bottles before her.
The live girl, at the end
