ESTIvIrY is everywhere with the
anticipation of the New Years
Eve party as fitting climax to
the holidays Naturally you will
want to appear at your best and the
correct makeup helps you to be the
belle of the ball.
1t is taken for granted that your
skin is smooth and clean before you
begin this subtle routine Then choose
a cream. or lotion, powder base and
smooth it on sparingly 50 that the skin
shines through. Be sure that you re-
move any of the extra foundation
before putting on powder In this way
you will surely have natural looking
makeup.
When it comes to rouge, Oracle
Allen roots for it, claiming that "a
delicate touch OF rouge brings out the
beauty and coloring of ones eyes"
1t is vitality important to know exactly
how to place it on your cheeks. For
example. if you have the round type of
face, smooth the rouge lower on the
cheek-bones to make the face appear
more oval. See to it that you blend the
sides off until the rouge vanishes into
your own skin-coloring.
