To Beauty
Makeup Should Be
Fun and Routine
Very Simple.
The Modern Science Institute, Inc.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

GRACE MOORE, slamorous blond
star Of opera. screen and radio
expresses her views on makeup &c
effectively that We quote her in the
hope that her lesson will register with
many readers.
The first step in making up should
be q good scrubbing with soap, warm
water and wash cloth to remove all
stale cosmetics. After 4 rinsing with
warm, then cold water q soothing
lotion or foundation cream should
be applied. Only then should you
start your makeup.
Then be sure the face powder YOU
choose matches the color OF youl
skin and use it in moderation. Ap-
ply only enough to leave your skin
looking smooth and clear. Rouge
comes next. Be careful with thu
amount and the color you use. II
must blend with your skin and YOU
powder and should never look like
rouge. A minimum amount car
achieve the maximum effect
"Lipstick should harmonic with
both the rouge and the powder. When
applying 1t, don't exaggerate the
shape of your mouth. Follow the nat
ural lines and don't be over generous
Avoid eye shadow and mascara for
daytime. Use them only at night
and even then in moderation.
In other words, let moderation be
the keynote Of your makeup proceed
ure and remember that . smile meana
more than all the cosmetics ever in
vented"
Above all, Miss Moore feels that
makeup should be fun and admits
that since I really began to enjoy
myself while putting on my makeup
the result has always been much
more satisfactory"
She believes that If you take the
matter Of makeup too seriously you
are likely to overdo it; that the more
complicated beauty routine the more
obvious the result and makeup
should always be subtle. She says, Let
nature be your guide and be sure your
attempts to improve on 1t don't con-
ceal it entirely"
