ROUGE AND POWDER.

TO MATCH THE NEW COLOURS. It requires some artistry to choose Just that shade of make-up which will’ make one look one’s best in each of the colours to be worn In the spring outfit. Beauty experts have already been tackling this problem, and have drawn out a chart giving details of the makeup colours for the new mode. This was done by testing various blends of rouge and powder on six girls of different types who were all "draped" with lengths of material in each of the new colours.

One of these shades, banana beige, demands a certain amount of yellow in the make-up. But a point which puzzles many women is that an orange lipstick and paste rouge come out pink, with no hint of yellow, when they apply it to themselves. The reason is that they have a certain amount of acidity in their system, which turns the yellow pink. This can he counteracted a little by dusting a yellowish rouge powder over a foundation of paste rouge, and using a banana powder.

Every shade of blue, from deepest sapphire and royal blue, through cornflower to sky blue, will be fashionable this spring. As every make-up, to be successful, should contain a hint of the colour worn nearest (he face—unless that colour is already present in the natural shading of the complexion—blue frocks require lipstick and rouge of a bluishred. Eye shadow should be blue. Beds are nearly as fashionable as blues. For make-up purposes (hey are divided into two classes—reds with a yellowish linge, and rose-reds. All the former require a linge of yellow in Ihe make-up, with flame lipstick and bronze eye shadow, but, Ihe rosered frock demands rich colouring to match.
