BEAUTY CHATS



So many women write me asking how
to make up their eyes that 1 think these
few directions viii help them; for what
ever one thinks about eye and cheek
and lip makeup, tons of colored cos
metics are sold for this. and women will
use it up. They should learn to do it
nicely. rather than crldely.
so II you must U'd prefer you didn't
here's how. Buy yourself dark brown
eyebrow pencil II your eyebrows are
fair, and a black one II they are dark,
but need retouching. You can make
the eyebrows longer very easily, and
long eyebrows make the eyes seem
larger and give them more character.
OF course. the coloring mustn't show;
1t must be faint shadow going Just
beyond the place the hairs stop grow
ing.
Buy some sort Of shadow for the eye
lids. AS tiny pot will last you years,
get only the best quality. Cheap quail
tiles are terrible. Having used cold
cream on the eyelids first and wiped
off all of 1t Ca little is always left in
the skim, take the faintest trace of
color on the longest finger of your hand,
rub 1t over the lower part of each eye
lid, down toward the 1ashes, and out
so very lightly, rubbing it off as you
spread 1t on evenly, that 1t is, as In
tended, only shadow. 1t should cover
only the lower half of the eyelids.
Blue eyes are easy to make UP, for
you use blue cosmetic, green for gray
or hazel or green eyes and green often
for brown eyes. There is a blush gray.
too. for gray eyes and often blue is
better for them than green. You must
experiment. Use powder over the col
or; it softens 1t and makes 1t seem part
of the skin. This shadowing, of course,
gives emphasis to the eyes, brings out
their color, makes them deeper and
more brilliant. That is, If nicely put on.
The eyelashes can be tinted with my
black cold cream.
S. G. I,.--You overdo the cream ap-
plfcation, which is the reason why the
pores begin throwing it off in a short
time, carrying with it the powder you
had added. Vanishing cream will al
ways do that when you have used too
much. You would probably obtain a
much better effect if you used a very
tiny bit of fine oil cream. and worked
1t into the skin all over with the finger
tips, then wiped off thoroughly. There
would still be enough in the pores to
hold the powder. The auburn haired
type, such as you are, will usually have
freckleS, that are never unbecoming
but since you feel differently about
them, try bleaching them with the Juice
from a piece of cut cucumber. Let this
remain on the skin for half hour and
wash all of it off. Greens and golden
colorS will look best on you.
Autumn Diets.
The woman on a diet during the
Summer will begin to loathe the sight
OF vegetables and such by this time.
Or, If not now, little later, when the
weather cools permanently. So here
are some suggested changes to brighten
up diet that has become dull.
Start your luncheon with a cup of
hot clam broth, hot beef tea, hot NUT
ton broth, or even with hot water with
one OF those compressed cubes of con-
somme dissolved in it. The physical
heat of this alone will be enough to
make cold salad or cold stewed fruit
or cold vegetables seem attractive. And
you can have this sort of clear SOUP
twice day, before dinner as well, If
you like it that often.
Also, you can dispense with salads.
which you have run to during the hot
weather, and have your various vegeta-
bles cooked and served hot. A vegeta-
bic lunch or dinner, steaming hot on a
large plate, giving several kinds of veg
etables, In several kinds of colors, is
extremely attractive. Especially with
poached egg sitting on the top, as
many restaurants serve 1t.
Don't forget the stimulating and heat
ing qualities of hot tea and hot coffee,
though, OF course, you must not drink
TOO much OF them, nor have either too
