from q Washinston sho

in New York to do the highest grade
of work suited to the individual. The
little stalls for manicures are new
and different. You may have a special
rouge blended to your own coloring,
and the same Is true Of powder. The
jars Of basic colors are all set out in
the most tempting manner on q
counter and your favorite fragrance
will be blended into the perfect shade
to match your own skin. It Is all
quite fascinating.
But to get back to the matter Of
making up the neck, shoulders and
back for those really low gowns. To
make the most of your back and
shoulders you will want to give them
a flattering finish that will not rub
of and that will not be affected by
perspiration. We have found an ex-
cellent one that does just these things.
1t is a flesh-colored cream that is
easy to apply and gives the skin .
soft, velvety appearance.
If you prefer q lotion to q cream,
there Is a new one that was brought
to our attention the other day that
is very satisfactory. It Is called q
complexion dressing" and particu.
larly good for evening use. 1t Is
superfine face powder combined with
a delightful lotion which Is slightly
astringent. 1t provides a smooth tex
ture to skins inclined to be oily.
A mild last-minute deodorant is q
necessity on your dressing table. One
that can be used Immediately after q
depilatory or shaving without caus.
ing irritation is the kind to choose.
Why not try the little magic stick
that does the work 50 quickly and ef-
fectively and is actually soothing to
tender skin? 1t Is delicately per.
fumed, too. Another one that Is ex-
cellent is a colorless liquid with the
fragrance Of violets that Is harmless
to fabrics and yet entirely effective
for a day or an evening.
IF YOU have any dark moles or
other disfguring marks on your
back or arms, you will Of course want
to disguise them for the evening. This
Is very simple matter that can cas-
lily be accomplished with q cream that
we have mentioned before in this coll
umn. It comes in at least six diff
ferent skin colors and can be per-
fectly blended into the surrounding
skin tint.
The eyes are very important at
night and should be made to sparkle
and be emphasized in size by the
correct makeup. There are 30 many
shades Of eye shadow now available
that you may have to do . little ex-
perimenting to find the one that does
the most for your own eyes. In gen.
eral, If your eyes are blue you will
want to choose one Of the blue eye
shadows, and probably blue mascara.

and black or brown mascara. How
ever, we have q chart here before
us on the wall which names so many

without particular regard to the i
tune color.
We almost forgot to mention that
very important and useful little item
in evening makeup, the blending
brush. This soft camel's-hair brush
is splendid for carefully blending your
powder over your rouge, and removing
the excess. It should be blended
from the hairline toward the nose
and from the lowest part Of the neck
upward. These little brushes are in
expensive and Is useful as your eye
brow brush.
