 YOURSELF

 No matter how strenuous your campaign to dramatize your best features and to hide the ones you don't like, regardless of the size of your mouth. rouge your lipe from corner to corner.
 Except for stage and screen stars. who work under special lights, no woman can change the shape of her mouth by doing strange things with lipstick.
 When a girl with an unusually large mouth applies lipstick only In the center of her lips, she doesn't make anyone suppose for ! minute that her mouth really is small. She merely convinces them that she doesn't know the first principles of correct makeup. The best thing for her to do is to use as little color as possible. One with a beautiful mouth should use .ipstick lavishly.
 You ought to concentrate on your best points instead Of spend i. time worrying about the bad ones. If your eyes are unusually large and beautiful, forget about the mouth that doesn't please you and set about the delicate busi- ness of dramatizing your eyes. Keep brows neat and trim, put bit of mascara on lashes, and use eye cream to prevent fine lines and wrinkles.
 If. on the other hand, your eyes are just average and your mouth is quite pretty, don't use eye makeup at all, but apply lipstick generously. If you. can't find one feature to play up, don't be too modest-I never heard of a wom- an who didn't have at least one). remember that lovely complex ion and healthy, shiny hair can make up for bad features. These two things everyone can have.
