“TOO MUCH MAKE-UP”

English Girls Criticised (Special Crspclt N.Z.P.A.) LONDON, Sept. 4. A Belgian beauty expert, who has come to London to work, says one can recognise an English girl nowadays because she wears too much make-up too soon. “The English rose complexion used to be a hallmark,” she told a “Daily Telegraph” reporter, “but today it is a thick layer of make-up you can scrape off with a knife. Skin care is the last thing these girls are interested in until it is too late to repair the damage. The only thing they want to know about i§. newest make-up techniques which they slavishly copy." She added that two 13-year-olds had gone into a Bond street salon and asked for “The Lot.” At the end of it they ,had j complained they had *ot been given enough eye .makesfep. “It wouldn’t be so bad if these girls would also learn to take off make-up as thoroughly as they put it on,” says the “Daily Telegraph.” “Then, at least, it wouldn’t do any permanent damage.”
