Screen Stars
Makeup
BY DONNA GRACE

the first time are naturally alert
to make some contact with the
motion picture colony or to at
least see or meet one of the "a
nous stars on the street or in
some of the well-known cafes. But
they all expect to see the perform
ers just as they see them on the
screen and seem to resent the fact
that some of the girls look and
act like the average well-bred
home girl.
They want them to be glamor-
Gus and a little mysterious and
possibly to look like the character
they have seen them portray on
the screen, and that is about the
last thing the little star is inclined
to do. Her only relaxation is in
getting away from all the things
that go to make up her daily work
at the studio, and her assertion of
her independence begins with 60
ing without makeup.
The girls in Hollywood who are
really important seldom wear
makeup of any kind during the
day. They like to give their skin
rest and chance to come in di-
rect contact with the fresh air, and
they are not concerned very much
with the visitors disapproval of
their practice, but of course they
are always good-looking and in
teresting in any guise.
When one stops to think of the
hours they must stand under the
lights that are sure to magnify
the least imperfection, we can I'M
derstand what relief it must be
to be relieved of everything arti-
ficial as soon as possible. The
makeup is essential because of the
Photographic effects, and not to
make over the faces that are al.
ready beautiful, although, that,
too, is possible if it were neces-
Sary.
There are a few actresses, how
ever, who like to wear their lip
stick and even a little eye make
up, as they say they never know
when their picture will be snapped
in public, and all photographs are
improved so much when the eyes
are accentuated even slightly.
They wear the usual makeup at
night and more eye shadow than
the society girl. We do not mean
more in quantity, but they seldom
appear at night without it, and
they like to wear the various tints
such as the Silvery mist, which is
a very soft blue with sheen of
silver in it. 1t looks dazzling and
brilliant with any coloring, and
they know so we'll that only a
very little is necessary for the best
effect.
They all adore perfume and
have a certain scent for each cos
tune.
Everyone is supposed to give at
least one hours time for the face
makeup before going on the set,
but of course the picture makeup
is like a portrait and takes time.
This is a good thing for us to
bear in mind when we are inclined
to be too hurried about our own
beautifying.
Dear Donna Grace: I have a
growth of hair on my upper lip,
and it is quite noticeable as 1
am a brunette. have read about
the removal of superfluous hair
by the electrOlysis method and
have wondered whether it would
help. Could you suggest some.
thing l could do to get rid of it?
Thank you. SHARON"
ElectrolysiS is the only perma.
nent method of removing super.
fluouS hair. The temporary re-
lief is by shaving or depilatory
products.
