TEN MAKE-UP POINTS. (Copyright.) A feminine authority, and make-up artist to some of the leading Hollywood screen stars, set down ten “don’ts” that should help every young girl on beauty bent. For daytime, this make-up artist recommends conservative make-up. For evening, you can Jet yourself go a bit. But don’t try to imitate anyone else’s make-up. Stick to your own type and be confident. Don’t put your lip-stick on too thickly. Many women, particularly very young women, do this in the hope that it will achieve an effect of sheen. It doesn’t help to mix grease over grease—it merely gives a smeared, unfinished look. Mix in a bit of vaseline in the colouring or apply a thin film of cream or vaseline first. Don’t put rouge plump on your cheek bones. Tin’s merely emphasises the bones. It achieves a doll effect that is passe. Blend the rouge outward instead, into the sides of your face anti toward the cars and how far out you blend depends upon the width of your face, stop a good distance from the ears if you face is too round. Blend your cvbrow pencil into the brow to give a natural effect. Don’t use eyebrow pencil in a hard, obvious line. Mascara should be confined to the upper lashes only, and then to the tips of the longest of the winkers, emphasising their length. Don’t use mascara on the lower lashes because that will make you look wan and hard. Always remove the remaining makeup before applying or renewing the make-up. Don’t try to put one layer of make-up over the other if you want a fresh, smooth result. Don’t rub your powder, don’t grind or pound it into your face. Dust as lightly as possible and quite generously. Then remove with powder blending brush or fresh puff or pad of cotton. The little lipstick tissues are lifesavers. Carry them with you. Bemove traces of lipstick from fingers with these tissues (not with your hostess’s guest towels). Don’t pluck the eyebrows from above, but from under the brow and not too thin. Don’t put daytime make-up “on” under an electric light. Try to apply all make-up in the same type of light that you expect to appear under.
