Fresh

aids we may have, and with
guides and charts to follow, the
average girl should not have much
trouble in selecting q correct
makeup for herself.
Some girls are so clever In the
art of selecting just the right
shade Of rougeS and powders, they
know their combinations and
blending perfectly. When they
are ready to step out for q day
Of business, or for shopping and
the usual activities, they are all
very attractive. AS one girl wrote
recently:
81 know I am g0Od-IOOking when
I have finished my makeup, but
the trouble Is 1t does not stay
looking lovely. After o few hours
1t Is all shiny, and by the middle
Of the day, there Is hardly . trace
Of any makeup left"
The next question is: What
kind Of makeup Is there that will
stay on and look lovely all day2
We all know some girls whose
makeup is perfect from the time
it Is applied until the end Of the
day when it is removed.
What secret Of makeup do
these girls possess, and just what
do they do to keep the skin
smooth with no trace Of the shine
and somewhat disheveled appear
ance that so many Of US have be-
fore the day is half over? It is a
rather important question, too.
We do want to know II there is
q secret way Of preserving any
makeup throughout the day.
Several Reasons
There may be several reasons
why one girls makeup will ap-
parently last throughout the day
and others will not.
The girl whose skin is dry may
possibly have no trouble in keep
ing her face from becoming shiny.
but even so, her makeup will need
some freShening before the day is
over, If she wants to keep a well
groomed appearance.
The girl whose skin is oily, or
inclined to any moisture, or per-
SEPARATION cannot expect any make
up to last more than a few hours
at the most.
There are, Of course, some
makeup foundations that may
preserve the freshness a bit, but
even these need many hours.
Some business girls, whose skin
is the oily type. do not use a
makeup foundation or any pow
der base, when they have only a
limited time to renew these appli-
cations. You know, once the pow
der base becomes moist, or
streaked, it must be removed alto
gether.
Powder must not be applied un-
less the surface is smooth, as they
depend on frequent applications
of the powder to keep the COM
pleXion looking nice. The face

each application Of powder.
Another cause for dismay when
the makeup seems to fade before
we think it should, is that many
Of us expect too much Of these
various make-upS.
Any one Of these make-ups that
retain freshness for a few hours
is doing all we should expect Of
it. AS matter of fact, the skin
really needs to be refreshed once
or twice during the day.
j The dry skin does really retain
the makeup. so that it may look
almost perfect for q whole day,
but do not envy the girl with a
dry skin. It fades and ages before
the oily skin does and needs con.
slant fabrication with tissue
creams to keep it pliable.
This, however, does not apply
to youthful skin. Young skins
do not need much fabrication.
Young skins do not need vanish
ing creams. A mild aStringent
may be used and liquid founda-
ton, if desired. This is prepare
ton enough for the makeup.
A Simple Pack
The more mature skin, however,
may need to have the skin re-
fined and smoothed q bit before
putting on any makeup. This
can be done very satisfactorily
with the aid of a simple pack.
The pack am giving you here
will bleach the skin a little, too.
Take a glass, or porcelain bowl,
and put in the following:
tablespoonful of almond meal.
teaspoonful of peroxide.
/ teaspoonful Of bay rum.
Add enough witch hazel to
make a smooth paste.
The skin must be thoroughly
cleansed always before any pack
is applied. Soap and water may
be used, If desired, but when the
face has been dried, a cleansing
cream must be applied SO as 10
avoid any irritation.
The cleansing cream along may
be used for the preparation. The
first light application Of the cream
is spread over the face and neck
and removed at once. This is to
remove any dust or CRIME from
the skin surface. The next APP
plication is rubbed in so as to
remove the dry skin that is con-
Stantly shedding.
When this cream Is removed,
the pack is spread all over the
