nourishing cream on the skin as
a medium TO blend the rouge.
Perhaps the most simple guide
in the selection of the shade of
rouge that will blend with your
particular skin, il this-the fairer
the skin, the lighter the rouge
should be, adhering ny closely as
possible TO shades that have q
yellow or orange tint, SO that the
yellow which u in most skins In
repeated. Most Of the modern
shades Of rouge take this sug-
gestion of yellow into considera-
ton by the wide range of tints
found in the 10 called orange
rouges.
More vivid tints may be ex-
perimented with for evening use
than IL Is safe 10 use for daylight
hours. In using the brighter
shades OF rouge, such nv rasp-
berry. geranium and carmine, /
think you will find a faint appli-
cation OF an orange rouge with
the brighter rouge applied I'VE
It more ~fiattering than the one
application of a bright hue.
II you have trouble applying
two shades of rouge when they
are of the same consistency, try
making your base of paste rouge
and busting over this with dry
rouge.
Only by studying your own
skin and features can you expect
to achieve the effect you admire
so much in another. What ap-
plies 10 one skin, may spell dis
aster on another. So | would adj
wise you to take the time TO
study your features. Trace the
lines OF your face with your fin
GERS. Then try out the various
types CT rouge and colors. Apply
them i'm different ways and in
different color combinations,
until you see that your cheeks
look natural.
When you've discovered the
secret that applies to your par
ticular style of beauty, as far m
rouge Is concerned, hug it closely
10 your heart and don't deviate
one whit, not even IL your best
friend tells ycu Of the most
wonderful rouge. my dear!"

II you have one or have had one,

Black suede shoes with cut steel

In selecting your jewely to
