MISS LYNETIE STEWART

THE ART OF MAKE-UP Miss Lynette Stewart, who is at pre; sent giving practical demonstrations of how a woman's face ought to be treated so as to be as beautiful as is humanly possible, is a vivacious, soft-voiced blonde with curly hair,, a little fringe, aud a pretty smile. Half her charm lies in the fact that she is a New Zealauder, her home town being Christchurch, from where she went over to Hollywood u> learn from the great Max Factor himseif all there is to know about the secret of good cosmetics and how to apply them Under her skilful fingers a tired face is cleansed and toned up, covered with a gentle protective cream, lightly rouged, its brows darkened, its lips reddened, and its whole surface covered with the correct make of powder which, just as deftly, is brushed away again, the result being vivacity, rejuvenation, and a,new zest for life; for, if the face that confronts you in the mirror is your own face, but fresh looking to a degree, are not your spirits uplifted in instant sympathy? Miss Stewart very, much enjoyed her experience as a studerit of. beauty in New York and Hollywood. She has a great respect for Max Factor, whose method of make-up has been evolved through the sheer necessity of creating by means of cosmetic colour harmony, a lifelike naturalness which will accentuate instead of lessen, beauty and charm. The method of application, the care, given to ladividual cases, and the respect for the latent character of such cases are all, in Miss Stewart's opinion, points for which Max Factor deserves praise. That lie also uses different cosmetics for daylight and night light, and for society wear and stage wear is something else in his favour, and demonstrates the fact for which he is famous; colour harmony in powders, rouges, and other essentials > of make-up which, under all conditions, impart an impression of naturalness. Miss Stewart, while in Hollywood, saw famous stars rehearsing, and met them both behind the sets and in private,, her opinion being that most of them are fascinating and interesting people, On the way out to Australia Shirley Temple was on the boat travelling with her parents as far as Honolulu, and was, says Miss Stewart, a thoroughly adorable baby, six years old, and really unspoilt. Miss Stewart intends to be in Dunedin till next Friday, during which time it is her earnest wish'that she will make Dunedin so cosmetic-conscious that our streets will be as bright with naturally madeup faces as are the streets of Hollywood and New'.York.
