Ladies, we are gathered together to
discuss informally how to enhance our
beauty Beauty" according to Web
ster-'those qualities which are most
pleasing to the eye; particular grace
OF charm"
Now then, we are going to enhance
our particular charm. As you know,
we all have one charm which is out
standing. For example, you have
beautiful eyes, your friend has beau
tlful mouth, etc. To call attention to
either of these charms, We'll centre our
makeup at this point. In this way,
lest attention is focused on our defects.
We may go further to say that
there's no particular charm in our fea-
lures but in our form or body. Then
we emphasis that particular charm
around which we will build our beauty.
Today, the modern woman is ever
Beauty and Charm conscious. She
studies her type and follows it closely.
Women today are strictly feminine
feminine in dress, hair, styles and
makeup.
Let's analysis ourselves; First, our
hair; to have the soft, beautiful and
shiny waves, we must have a clean
foundation. We want our hair STYLED
to blend with the contour of our face.
We want individual Coiffures"-not
the same as our neighbor "Individu-
atty In everything is our aim.
Next our skin; again a clean founda-
ton, to bring out the best. We must
thoroughly cleanse our skin with cream
or, if you prefer, soap and water, then
your cleansing cream. tissue cream is
fine to use at night to nourish the
tissues. Before applying makeup use
a foundation, liquid or cream. This
protects our skin and adheres the pow
der. Apply your rouge cream or pow
der over this foundation, making sure
to blend in well to avoid the "painted
look" If you use eye shadow apply
this also. Now, your powder which is
the correct blend with your skin color
ing. Your lipstick is applied with
great care-leave the corners free, as
this gives the mouth a smaller appear
ance:-a clever trick on making it last,
is to powder over the first application
and then apply more which you blend
in well. This will stand all sorts of
wear. Remove all excess powder from
eyelashes and eyebrows which you
darken with mascara or an eyebrow
pencil. When using mascara avoid the
beaded look. AS we mentioned in the
beginning our particular charm is en-
phasised by makeup.
The fngernails are manicured and
the correct shade of polish is used to
blend with our dress or accessories.
Neutral tones are used for day wear
the more vivid for evening. If our
hands are our particular charm, we en-
prahis them by keeping them soft and
well groomed at all times.
Consideration of our posture is an
important factor of Beauty. Do we
walk, stand, and sit properly? Are
we too plump in places where we
should not be? If so a fine corrective
measure is exercise and the proper diet.
To keep beautiful, we must have
sufficient rest, fresh air and exercise,
also proper foods and elimination.
Before closing we may consider, as a
beautiful woman is always well
groomed. In selecting our clothes we
should consider the style best suited to
our individuality and correct color, as
our skin coloring is either enhanced or
deducted by the colors we wear.
All these compose Beauty and charm
for the Modern Woman
