LIP LORE.
A hard lino of make-up always hardens tho lino 01 the lips. Glycerine and lemon will keep the lips soft and givo them colour A touch of eau-de-Cologne will also give colour. If you uso a dry lipstick which obviously lias no grease in it, always apply a little cold cream to your lips before you apply tho lipstick.
If voui mouth is thick don't take the lipstick right to tho edgo of your iips; if vour mouth is thin apply colour right to (ho edge, even a lillle over Always wipe away a little of tho colour when you have finished. Remember that most mirrors, and especially bad or not-too-clean ones, reflect slightly darker and dimmer than reality. Follow tho line of your lips, accentuating the cupid's bow, if you have one. Jf your mouth is largo and you wish to mako it look smaller, make up more to tho middle of your month. The proper way to apply your lipstick is not. as most women imagine, across the lino of tho lips, but up and down—the way (ho skin grows. The lino of tho Hps should still bo followed, of course. To make-up your mouth this way takes longer, but is more satisfactory.
