FEMININE MAKE-UP

ATTENTION TO THE EYES Even those who scorn the use of make-up during the day-time usually like to use it in the evening. There are few faces, however lovely, which do not need a little make-up, skilfully

applied, to enable them to look their best in artificial light. There are many cosmetics which are intended for evening occasions. They would look a little too artificial during the day, but at night they add Just that touch of charm which makes us look our best. To begin with, you will want a special foundation lotion, which will not only hold your powder in place for several hours, in spite of the warm atmosphere, but which will also hide any temporary blemishes such as enlarged pores or slight sallowness. Dark marks under the eyes due to tiredness can be disguised by means of a little eye-shadow of the same colour

as the marks smoothed over the upper lids. But, if your eyes are fresh and young, then use a cream eye-shadow on the upper lids only—a shadow with a hint of star-dust in it. You can have it to match your eyes, of course, but it is great fun to experiment with other colours, too. For the lashes you might try a little cream eye-black, which is applied with a little stick. It leaves the lashes lustrous, instead of dry and stiff .You can make any hands look twice as lovely in the evening by covering them with a preparation which softens and whitens them, besides disguising any small blemishes. If, however, your face is not very young, or is just more tired than usual, then you must rest and revive it beforehand with one of those marvellous preparations which are invaluable when you cannot pay a visit to the beauty salon. If your face is feeling below par, then a facial cocktail will brace it up and make it feel beautifully fresh. There is, too, a cream pack which erases wrinkles quickly. Spread it, leave it for 15 minutes and then sponge it off with tepid water. There are other cream packs, which freshen and rejuvenate your face, for the evening. Experiment beforehand to find which is most beneficial for you, and try a stimulating cream, which is excellent to use while you are getting ready for an evening party.
