who have one or more Of them
may consider them real flaws.
Perhaps these tips will be helpful.
Eyebrows, like noses, rarely
please their owners. Perhaps yours
are the unruly kind. rather thick.
but curling in all directions to
give them q busy. over-powering
look. Perhaps nothing gives as
much character to the face as
strong. thick eyebrows. but we'll
admit they should be well-defined
and groomed.
Achieving this Is matter Of
training. Take a little eyebrow
brush-you can get one at the
five and ten-and brush the eye
brows into line every night. II
this isn't enough. use something
to hold them down. Mustache
wax, such as men use, comes In
hair shades so you can get q little
tube to m a tel your eyebrows.
Stroke It on with an orange stick.
Or use hair lacquer on q brush
to put eyebrows in their place
and keep them there until you
wash 1t of.

OF course, hairs that ramble
from the body Of the eyebrow.
should be plucked 20 you'll have
clean. definite lines. Hairs over
the bridge Of the nose should be
plucked always. Make the space
fairly wide II your nose tends to
be a bit long and accent the arch
slightly toward the outer tips.
Scanty eyebrows are a common
problem with older women. This
trouble can often be remedied
with the mascara brush and
brown mascara. Black might be
too harsh and appear artificial
with the woman who Is beginning
to gray. Use the brush to pick up
and tint what brown hairs there
are and to emphasize enough OF
the fine forehead fuzz to give a
well-defined. becoming eyebrow
line.
Another common fault. which
may actually be beauty destroy
ing, Is dark heavy tufts Of hair
that grow from moles on the face
or neck. Don't pluck these with
out first consulting q dermato-
logist or doctor. II the mole Is the
harmless variety. they may sug-
gest having the offending hairs
removed with an electric needle.
or possibly having the mole itself
removed. II you cannot get expert
advice, the one thing you can do
safely Is to clip the hair close to
the skin surface with q pair OF
sharp cuticle scissors.
For Hair on Upper Lip
Dark hair on the upper lip Is
another problem. II there are only
a few. perhaps the most sensible
solution Is to have them removed
with an electric needle. II the
growth Is heavy or II there are
shadowy hairs elsewhere on the
face, this may cost too much for
the average woman. In this case
tighten the hairy growth with full
strength peroxide to which q few
drops ammonia have been added.
Leave the bleach on the thorough
ly clean skin only few minutes
the first time. wash away with
soap and water and repeat the ap-
plication the following day. OF
course, you will have to repeat the
bleaching process every tn rec
weeks or so. as the old hair falls
out and Is replaced by new.
Then there are those first gray
hairs that give SO many women a
heartache, although I could never
see why. II the hair Is light or
medium brown. these first silvery
hairs may actually add interesting
highlights. II It's black, no one
can deny that salt-and-pepper
hair. with q rich young coloring
is striking and lovely. II you'll have
none of 1t for q few years. how
ever, try using q vegetable tint to
color only the gray hairs so they
will blend In with the rest. This
Is q temporary coloring and can
be removed with q shampoo.
Don't pluck out your gray hairs
as they appear. You'll need every
one OF them later on.
