use. the black being used to shadow
~dark-brown and black eyes. while the
brown was best suited for the me-
dunn and light-brown eyes and all
the other shades OF eyes. Today we
have the black and brown shadow
cosmetic used only for black. dark
and medium brown eyes. Light
blue eye shade intensifies pale-blue
eyes. making them appear much
deeper in color. Then we have a
dark-blue shade for violet and deep
blue eyes. and a blush green tint to
beautify gray and h~azel-colored eyes.

and lower lashes with perfect safety. In the
evening, however, under artificial lighting, mas
cara should never be applied to the lower lashes.
The metallic, shiny surface that mascara gives to
the lashes catches the light and frequently throws
a harsh reflection, giving a hard, glittering ex-
preston to the eyes. Certainly, this does not
improve the appearance of anyone and should
be avoided with scrupulous care.
1t is wise to brush the lashes with an eyebrow
brush that has a bit of vaseline on it before
applying mascara to the lashes. The coating of
vaseline accentuates the lower lashes sufficiently

for evening use than is possible during day
