tract attention from the high cheek bones.
Cheek bones that are set high in the face
give an unpleasant impression; they make
a woman look less gentle and less femi-
nine and youthful.
There is no reason why the eyes should
not be the feature TO attract attention,
and even II they are not large or deep

tour of the face goes, the skin becomes
coarse and every feature is pulled out or
shape. 4 sagging face gives woman an
old haggard appearance. and after the
muscles have dropped IL is very difficult
