NEW YORK. Aug. 1.-You can
gauge a woman's real self-respect
this season by the amount Of time
she is willing to spend on making
herself beautiful.
You can't do a perfect and subtle
Job Of improving on nature If you
hurry It too much. And don't for
get that your hair and your nails
are an integral part of your groom
ing.
For the last decade obvious make
uu was chic. An agile lady could
lust about dash on her lipstick and
rouge and run a comb through her
hair while running for a street car.
Today. the age Of leisurely ele-
Eance is upon US. Makeup that
fiatters. but is not obvious, is pre-
ferred. Roughing and using ones
lipstick. and eyebrow coloring, pow
der, becomes an art. There Is no
denying art takes timel
A Half-Ho Task
Spend at least thirty minutes on
your face" is the advice OF Lucien
Ielong. Paris expert on feminine
beauty and attire Before starting
for the days shopping or for the
Office and again before leaving Tor
the evenings entertainment, a half
hour is little enough time for beau
tifying.
AS the first step in beauty, be-
fore YOU begin makeup select your
rouge and lipstick with the greatest
Of care.
7 have seen women use vermn-
lion lipstick and orange rouge on
their faces simultaneously, and
nothing on earth could defeat a
beautiful and natural look more ef-
fectivelya They should match ex-
actly and Of course bear some direct
relation to ones own general tone OF
coloring."
The choice of powders color is
quite as important as rouge and
lipstick. Those who have gone in
for suntan should have look at
ochre and orange tints.
Try Soft Ivory Tones
Those who prefer pale beauty
should not mar it with flesh pink
powder. but try the soft ivory skin
tones, those that add pallor to al
ready pale cheeks.
And the choice of makeup for the
eyes is even more important than
face powder. For the eyes are the
focal points of beauty this autumn
and should be treated most subtly
and artistically.
The old saying that beauty is
more than skin deep is, of course,
true. The actual health of an in
dividual is what gives sparkle to
the eyes and Tilt to the carriage.
But the care of the skin itself is
of tremendous Importance. ESpe-
cially now, when the least obvious
makeup is the chic one. the cream
mess and tone of the skin is a first
step to beauty.
EmOIIient Creams Excellent
Any one who has been out in the
open this summer must try some
of the fine emollient creams that
are on the market now. They are
excellent for that parched feeling
your face may have.
They are used after cleansing
cream has thoroughly removed the
dirt. They are soft and caressing
and the face relaxes under their use.
especially if they are warmed
slightly to blood temperature.
oils for those tender portions
around the eyes and the corners of
the nose are other luxuries that
women should make necessities. And
after this treatment, a good astring-
ent closes the pores but leaves the
skin soft.
Last comes a brisk ice rub, either
pieces of ice wrapped in towel or
one of the new contrivances that
hold ice and can be used as kind
of iron on the face to strengthen
any tagging muscles.
Before the Makeup
An eye tonic should be used next
and the face patted dry before any
makeup base is applied. Face pow
der. rouge. lipstick and eye makeup
should all bear much the same rela-
ton in tone and compatibility that
your skin and features do.
Perfume plays a subtle game this
season, too. The only obvious per-
Tuning one does is the final touch
10 a makeup.
That consists of a dash of your
favorite perfume on the lobe of each
ear and on your lips.
Since your bath has been scented
and your lingerie has its sachetS
folded in it. and you have used per-
fume spray while grooming, this is
just a suggestion, last fine touch
to a perfect operation.
