WOMEN SHOULD
DRESS UP TO THE
HAIR AND EYES
From the Kansas City Star.

From the Kansas City Star.
No woman can make a mistake
who dresses up to her eyes and hair"
contends a well known artist, the
idea being that nature never makes
mistake in her color combinations.
The hair nature provided us with
goes with the color Of our eyes. and
both go with the complexion.
In matching the hair or the eyes.
however, there are number of
things to be remembered. Not every
woman with brown hair should wear
brown exclusively; the effect is very
monotonous where the complexion is
noticeably inclined to sallowness, or
the eyes lack brilliancy
Notice Eyes of Others.
If you will notice carefully the
eyes of your friends you will find
that there is nearly always two dis
tinct notes Of color in the eyes. either
OF which you can match. Gray eyes
sometimes reflect blue or green. or
they may nay have brown tints in the iris
Iray eyes and green eyes may even
nave a blue circle around the edge OF
the iris, which blends into yellow next
the pupil. In such cases you can match
the gray-blue. the gray-green or the
gray-yellow; when the gray or green
eyed person wears blue-gray 1t makes
the eyes appear blue.
Of course you know how Just the right
shade OF blue will enhance the color
and brilliancy of blue eyes. All blue
eyes have both light and dark tonez
in them. When they are a too light
blue in color, wearing a darker shade
than their actual color will make them
seem much deeper blue.
Matching the Hnfr
Brown eyes are made up of many
different shades of brown and vel
low. Hazel eyes may have brown
and blue. brown and gray, or brown,
gray and yellow tints.
In matching the hair you must re-
member that 1t is never of a fiat uni
form color. In the same head of hair
there may be all shades, ranging
from pale gold to deep brown, but
all of the same tone of brown. You
should try to match and bring out
the lovelier colors.
There are always two ways to dc
this: First. by using Complementary
colors to heighten the effect of the
natural coloring, and, second by
using colors that blend.
If you have golden brown hair for
instance. you could choose violet, pur-
pie blue or gray blue to accentuate
the golden tints of hair by contrast
or you could select old gold and
bronze shades that match the color
of the hair, as 1t Is brought out in
the light or sunlight. The effect will
be, to make the hair appear much
thicker and glossier.
Red Hair Toned Down.
Red hair, on the contrary, should
not be emphasized, but toned down
as the hue is already vivid enough
AL reddish shades should be avoided
but dull, wood browns and golden
browns' are good. Dull blues, white
and various shades of gray may be
chosen. Gray greens may be worn
to good advantage, but bright greens
will make such hair look too fiery
Do not try to match very dark hair
but show 1t off by contrast.
Do not match your hair or eyes II
they are dull and lifeless, no matter
what shade they happen to be. Re-
member also in this connection that
the coloring changes with the state
of health, SO that a tint or shade that
is very becoming at one time may be
really trying at another. Under such
circumstances a readjustment of your
color scheme will be necessary.
