HERM are two distinct types
n oR beauty-ths natural ana
Artificial.
Artificial flowers are sometimes
exquisite. but they are never quite
as lovely ~ the living flowers they
initiate. In the same way the
beauty OF natural womanhood,
with color that comes and goes,
sheen or health on the hair. ruddy
lips. sweet breath, 1.-THE, active
body, clear eyes radiating health
Of spirit and mind, is infinitely
superior to the artificial type of
beauty no matter how cunningly
its cosmetic effects may be blended.
OF course natural beauty needs
daily care to keep 1t at its best
and set 1t off to advantage, just
as flowers need water and sunlight
and good soil, and are sometimes
even enhanced by cultivation in a
garden of hothouses.
There are some women, however,
who frankly love the artificial.
They prefer to make up their
eyes, lips, cheeks in order to pre-
sent an appearance that suggests
art rather than nature.
Let us consider today, for their
benefit, the art of making up the
eyes. Actresses have made a life
study of accentuating and empha-
sizing the expressiveness and love
lines of their eyes with the help
of makeup. Always the actress
begins her makeup by cleansing
her face, neck, eyelids and ears
with cold cream. She then wipes
away all excess.
Needless to say, she has first OF
all protected her hair and costume
froli makeup by means of a head.
band of white linen pinned over
her forehead, hiding the hairline.
If the actress uses liquid rouge,
she blends a bit of this into her
skin carefully, bringing 1t up
toward her temples, and even over
her eyelids very slightly. because
she knows the brilliance of the
rouge will set off her eyes and
make them conspicuous.
She chooses eye.shadowing that
blends with the color of her eyes,
whether they be blue, brown or
green. This shadow comes in both
cream and grease.stick form. She
smoothes on just the least bit of
it, very skilfully, with her finger
tip. IL you choose shadow
slightly lighter than your eyes,
the effect will be to deepen their
color.
1t Is usually wise to follow the
natural line Of the eyebrows in
making them up. Even the most
radical advocates of the artificial,
have abandoned the eyebrow
plucking fad, because it robs the
face of all expression. A wild hair
here or there can be tweezed.
And If the brows meet, it may be
well to have a few of the hairs
at the meeting place removed BY
the electric needle In the hands of
@ registered expert.
A little eyebrow cosmetic or an
eyebrow pencil can be used to
deepen the natural color of the
brows. Brush the pencil against
the brows toward the center of
the forehead, then brush them
back in place toward the temple.
Eyelashes should be long, thick
and silky to suggest beauty.
Nightly amounting with per
cent Of yellow oxide of mercury
ointment should in time bring
about this result. Do not add
mascara to your eyelashes until
you have applied eye-shadow and
powdered deftly over it, else you
will spoil the effect.
In applying mascara with the
tiny brush that comes for the pur.
pose. take pains to color each
lash without clogging it. Above
ALL do not get mascara into your
eyes. Some women as final
finishing touch apply a pin.dot of
paste rouge at each end of the
eyes. taking care to keep 1t out
of the eyes. This is supposed to
elongate them and add to their
brilliance.
Nearly all actresses, knowing
the charm of simplicity and nat.
uralness. avoid eye makeup off
the stage. But il you must make
UP your orbs of beauty, see to IL
that the effect Is artistic and en-. |
