no injury to the skin to do so. A little
makeup removes blenishes and is as
| necessary to a woman's beauty as a
razor is to mans good looks.
My face. which has been previously
well washed with soap and water, is
now anointed with cold cream. 1 cover
1t in thick layer and let it remain
on for several minutes. then wipe off
the super1uous cream.
Then comes the rouge process. And
here opinions differ The beauty spe-
cialists say that a very little rouge
does no harm. 1t is said that the Queen
OF Italy uses just a touch of it, and
that Queen Alexandra has a pot of
| rouge on her dresser.
AS for myself, 1 think it is actually
essential to happiness and beauty. 1
use it as soft grease and apply Just
very little right over the top Of the
cold cream. put 1t on with the tip of
my hnger, rubbing it in very we'll 1t
leaves just the faintest pink glow.
Those who do not want rouge can
omit it. But as for myself, I believe
IN hair-pins, false fronts. pretty gowns
and everything else that makes a wom-
ans husband love her.
Then comes the powder, and this I
lay on thick. plaster it on nose, fore
head, chin and cheeks until look like
Humpty Dumpty.
Il use powder that matches my
skin. 1t is a brunette powder, for I
aim to be an olive beauty. I try to
look like Spanish senorita. I work
with my eyes until they look dusky,
though they are naturally a pale blue
Leaving the powder on my face,
proceed to make up my eyes. use
for this stock of makeup very much
like that which actresses use But
do not use very much of it, I think all
take could be piled on the head of a
pin.
Il take the stick in my hand and I
wink upon it. That is all l can say.
hold it near my eyelashes and then 1
wink my eye. Just a very little of the
blackness comes off, just sufficient too
stain my eyelashes. 1t deepens them
and brings out my eye with a greater
luster.
II once told a woman how to do
this, and she went to work and fixed
up her eyelashes and eyes until she
looked like a burnt cork artist. But in
the hands of an artistic woman or a
French beauty maker this tiny touch
of black works wonders.
II also use a trif1e under my eyes
right along the line of the lashes. But
hesitate to mention this, for it is
plainly visible unless done by a true
artist. In the hands of an amateur it
is much better omitted.
IT might have mentioned how
brighten my eyes. I use for this pur-
pose a basin of tepid water, into which
there is dashed a little borax powder.
With this solution I battle my eyes re-
peatedly until 1 feel that they are
bright and strong.
After the eye bathing process I am
careful not to stand in the window or
to go out into the air, for the eyes are
tender from the hot water and it takes
fifteen minutes for them to regain their
temperature.
Then, when the eyes are made up
they will be bright and the dark lashes
will set off their brilliancy. The eyes
should be shaded by dark eyebrows.
But it is never a good plan to pencil
the brows. Instead they should be
darkened by nightly applications of a
good grower and darkener.
Finally, when you have finished
with your toilet, brush the superf1uous
powder off your face. 1t will nearly all
have been absorbed by the skin, and
there is very little to be brushed off.
Instead of powdered surface you will
see a clear. beautiful skin. with the
pores filled in evenly.
"I have sometimes. when very tired,
taken a second nap after making up
my face. This nap need not be more
than fifteen minutes long, and it GER
tainly refreshes the eyes, the voice and
the skin amazingly.
