NO MAKE-UP

IN STAR’S DAILY LIVES

EMPHASIS ON COSMETICS

No woman in the world is satisfied With her facial or physical appearance, no matter if she is admittedly the beauty queen of her own circle, or the most ravishing creature of the screen. And because of this aesthetic discontent many a promising screen career has been nipped in the bud. “The motion picture make-up man has a greater responsibility keeping rouge, eye-shades and grease tones off the faces of the stars than he has in applying them,” says Wally Westmore, a successful Hollywood make-up expert. “Not one of the most beautiful women of the screen to-day —Marlene Dietrich, Claudette Colbert, Joan Crawford, or any of them, is satisfied with her ap-

pearance. Marlene Dietrich’s eyes and lashes are close to perfect, I believe. But she would change them if we would let her. Miriam Hopkins in-

sists that her chin is too square, and would try to correct it for the cameras with rouge, if we did not constantly fight against it. In my years of experience at this work, I have never

known a serene star —or a woman in front of the dressing table-in her own boudoir to use cosmetics correctly.. Over-emphasis is the fault and the sin of all of them.’’

“We hav* an ironclad rule hero which forbids any candidate for a screen part of a contract to make up herself for the all-important original test. Many a beautiful girUhas ruined her chances because she insisted on readying herself for the camera and’ light test.”
