Maybelline Has Always Meant Beautiful Eyes!!!!!!!!!!!! But What If You Are A Saucer Man??????????


                         Darlings, if you thought Nicole Kidman went through tons of eye make-up, while making "The Beguiled," as her Botoxed face no longer has any expression, think of what a time there must have been on the set of the 1957 AIP classic, "Invasion Of The Saucer Men!"

                          Look at those eyes!  There were a whole group of these creatures on screen, so lots of mascara, shadow, and liner, were required.

                           The film was in black and white, so I am not sure what the color design in make-up would have been.  I see the one on the left, with some nice aqua green color under the lid, and black coal around the bottom.   Contrast the companion, with pink lid liner, and red mascara, and you have two rather stylish Saucer Men!

                             Now, the make-up was ingenious, but I have to say someone at the studio must have been influenced by Universal's sci-fi epic of 1955, "This Island Earth."  Those monsters, or aliens, if you will, had their brains outside their heads.  Only not as large as the saucer men.

                              And why are they called Saucer Men?  Their brains are bigger than anything else!!!!!!!!!!!!

                               What did Roger Corman care?  He just wanted to make a buck!

                                Besides, the AIP makeup department hit the jackpot with cute Cucumbo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
