HyHE majority of cheek and lip
rouge used in this country. ac-
cording TO a recent survey. is
used by women between the ages of
thirty and fifty. so it might be well
TO talk about the application OF this
beautifying color.
I know number OF women
and modern women. too, who have
been using the almost forgotten
chamois for taking the shine off
their nose: and in the early days the
chamois was used practically with
u powder. Then. when powder
wa introduced into the identifying
regime OF the well ordered dressing
table. the chamois was first dipped
a powder and rubbed owe the skin.
The next step of Importance in the
development OF cosmetics was cheek
coloring. So. after applying powder
by means of chamois. the rouge was
patted or rubbed over the cheeks.
This. In most cases. Is where the
trouble started.
