Question
What kind of makeup did Elvis wear like in his earlier years? Didn't he wear eye makeup? Did he wear face makeup?

Answer

like a prince

hi Sarah

I don't know which brand of make up Elvis used,but he did use.
Even in some of his earliest publicity shots he wears make up.
(check out http://www.elvisfashion.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=blogcategory&id=15...)

theres a book called "like a prince from another planet",there you
get real close ups of his face (in concert in the late 70's),you can see how much he had on.
in that book you even see that he had forgotten to dye his sideburns,they are grey!.a real cool book!
you can get your hands on it at elvisunlimited.com/webshop for $ 25.

it is said that he never left the house without makeup,hehe...don't know if thats true,I don't think so. But he did use it from early on and right to the end.

thank again - TCB René
