HOW 70 LOOK PRETTY
ON TIE STAGE.
SELF AS SHE WILL--EvEN TO
ACQUIRING THE LONG
EYES OF THE ORI-
ENTAIL.
By a Wen known Actress.

The young woman who is struck
with determination to reach the other
side ofsthe curtain and take her stand
among the actresses has OF course,
many things to learn. She doesn't
worry over the simple matter of paint
Ing her face--that seems nothing to her
until she becomes initiated into few
of the mysteries of makeup.
Making-up for the stage is not merely
q question of putting on rosy cheeks,
ruby lips and pencilled brows. 1t
must be borne in mind that the foot
lights cast glow upon the face from
below, where it is usually in shadow,
and therefore the shadows that natur-
ally fall upon the features, and that we
are accustomed to see. are reversed by
the lighting of the stage. This is what
makes makeup difficult and interest,"
ing.
Even the handsomest faces become
blank and meaningless without make
up.
Certain lines must be defined and
strengthened, contain shadows accen-
tuated and Others subdUed. 1t is
study of how to make full use OF the
stage lighting, how to annul its SIAN
ders and take advantage of its fat
terry. Women who are commonplace
enough in everyday life seem to have
been touched by a magic wand and
transformed into a radiant princess OF
the fairy tales when they step upon the
stage; while others, who could outstrlp
them easily on the street, drop their
marks of beauty directly that the foot
lights shine upon them.
softening Hard Lines.
Some faces are made for the stage,
and others are marred by it. Then,
too, every face requires its own pecu-
liar treatment, which must be studied
out and discovered by constant prac-
tice and experiment. If the young as
pirant has a very prominent chin or
high cheek bones, eyes that are deep
set on a face that is dish-shaped, she
will find lots Of trouble in getting an
effective makeup, because these defects
are increased a thousandfold by the
lights of the stage.
The fascinating discovery that one
may paint in large and dreamy eyes
when their own are squinty and lash
less; that noses a bit large or small
may be altered TO taste-givan CO.
Quettish retrousSe tilt when becoming
or made to look stately and Roman
that mouths may be shaped into Cupid's
bows and rosebud lips, is apt to be-
guile the dabbler in makeup into TAX
ing liberties with her face. She leans
to an over-enthusiasm in the use OF
makeup materials, and loses the nat
ural play of feature and expression by
lavish laying on OF beauties.
If her nose is rather small she finds
that she may easily correct this by
drawing a line of white down the CEN
ter of her nose, carefully blending 1t
into the general tone of the complexion.
This is impossible to detect from the
front, but the light striking upon the
lighter line brings it into prominence
and makes the nose look large. She
can make her eyes look wide and in
genious by putting a touch of clear
white upon the rim of the lower liu,
between the line of lashes and the eye,
and beneath this distinct line OF black
to emphasize the lower lashes.
An Oriental Eject.
If she wants to look long eyed-Orien-

in the direction OF the crease of the

which adds warmth OF tone to the

Even thin and bony necks may be doc

When the collar bone stands in relief
making shadowy depressions on either
side, line of white paint is put where
the shadows fall and the prominent

In this way an ARTIFICIAL effect of
light and shadow counteracts the real
rise and depression where lights and
shadows lurk, and an illusion of a
plump and even neck is the happy re
