Here I am demonstrating how I apply my makeup on a BBC programme in 1981. This was found by Sarah Jane and sent to me. I don't even remember doing this. I had about 200 TV appearances. Hard to remember each one after all these years. Unfortunately most of the BBC archive were lost so if you have any videos of me in your attic, do please share with me. Thank you also to Jonathan who has sent me quite a few from his collection.😊😍😘 #pattiboulaye #blackmakeupartist #makeup #BBC #pattiboulayeobe #
