COMPLEXIONS TO SUIT YOUR CLOTHES.

To tone with the leaf green and royal blue dresses fashion has decreed we shall wear this summer, two new shades of powder, rouge and eyelid cosmetic have been made up by a well-known. Dover-street beauty specialist.

“Trying” Colours in Vogue. Both these dress-colours are trying to the complexion. Both are apt to make the skin look pale and show the wrinkles we wish to hide. The new coral rouge to go with green colouring, when properly applied, gives the face a natural, healthy glow. The rouge should be applied with great care, taking into consideration the shape of the cheek-bones, nose, and mouth. Even the style of hairdressing has a bearing on the placing of the rouge. A lesson from a specialist on “making up” is worth several beauty treatments. An orange mauresque powder has been prepared to go with this colouring. Now that even wide-brimmed straw hats expose the forehead, care should be taken to powder to the roots of the hair and round to the ears. A fascinating but not vivid green powder for the eyelids enhance the beauty of the eyes. The nail varnish is also coral in tone, and is not so startling as hitherto. For the blue dresses the new delicate roseleaf rouge gives the most becoming colouring. Dark women should choose a deeper shade of the same rouge. The eyelids may be darkened with a blue, which can be had in two different shades to suit the individual eyebrows and lashes. A blue dress can make one look very pale, and the introduction of a pink into a naturelle powder combats this. Orange mauresque used in conduction with a medium lipstick will be found most suitable.

Coral Nail-Varnish. The nails could be varnished with a coral tint, but the same roseleaf colour as the rouge would give the better effect. When wearing green, a coral indelible lip pencil should be used. For the blue ensemble, medium or roseleaf can be Used to suit the individual taste.
