 Beige is Il softening tone. But It takes, lot of color to show lt. More than any color you cnn wear, beige drains the face Of mt urnl glow.
 Put n touch of rouge on your chin, when you wear beige. Also It might Do advisable Co use some of the now healthy glowing pow. der for a change. This when used sparlngly, makes you look just n lltlc bit rosy all over, not nrit- fIcially so.
