summer. II isn't necessary to use II
every day, but do use II after q swim
or dusty, windy drive. Use either
an eye dropper. a cup or q silver
teaspoon to apply the soothing
bath.
There are dozens Of good eye To-
lions on the market, but you may
prefer one Of your own making.
Simply dissolve heaping teaspoon
boric acid solution in cup boiled
water, put into a clean bottle and
use as needed. Warm the liquid
slightly II the eyes are very sensi-
tive and bloodshot. then follow by q
bath with the cold lotion. This Is
especially soothing and clearing.
Cream Around Eyes
The heat also tends to dry out the
moisture In the delicate skin sur.
rounding the eyes so 1t, too, needs
extra attention. Even though the
skin on the rest Of the face Is In fine
condition. smooth a little rich eye
cream below the eyes. over the lids
and at the outer corners every
night. Use light strokes Of the nm
gertips to work In under the eye
and out over the lids. Press for q
moment at the inner corners Of the
eyes to release taut nerves. At the
outer corners where crows feet
form. do a gentle tap dance with
the f1ngertips.
Remember to apply suntan oil or
cream over the lids and below the
eyes. And II you get deep tan this
summer. see that this skin gets
some direct sunlight. You may do
this by wearing special sunglasses
that permit tanning, or by remov-
ing your ordinary glasses for five
minutes or several times during the
time you are out. Do this when you
can lie or sit still with the sun shin
ing directly on your face. Do not go
to sleep In the sun. however.
II the eyes are swollen and red
from over-exposure at the beach,
bathe them, then lie down with cot
ton pads moiStened with warmed
witch hazel placed over them. Leave
on the pads at least a half hour.
Then remove and place other pads
squeezed out Of ice cold water over
the eyes for another ave minutes.
A suntanned complexion may
play tricks with your eyes. or
course, this depends to some extent
on the degree Of tan and the shade
of your eyes. II the eyes are rather
light In color, and the complexion
dark, 1t may tend to make the eyes
appear even paler than they are.
Think Of your eyes when you choose
your tan-if you have any choice.
II not. then plan eye makeup that
will bring out the eyes and make
them as dramatic as your sunkissed
skin.
Shadow for Pale Lids
Use eye shadow. unless the lids
have quite a bit of color In them. II
they are suntanned, then q drop OF
herbal oil or cream on the lids will
not only give them q shine that
brightens your eyes, but also will
keep the lids from becoming dried
out and crinkly. II sun glasses have
left pale rings about the eyes. how
ever, blend q little tinted sun cream
or foundation over the entire area.
then use tinted eye shadow Just
above the lashes.
The shade Of shadow can do lot
to make the color Of the iris appear
deeper. The old rule Of using shad-
ow the same color as the eyes Is
wrong. Definitely blue shadow. for
instance, robs medium or light blue
eyes of their color. Only very dark
blue eyes can stand . blue shadow
and even they are lovelier with
blue violet or blue-green shadow
Use sparingly SO there Is only hint
Of color.
Away from the beach Use black
mascara on the lashes and either
mascara or eyebrow pencil to pick
up pale hairs and give the brows q
definite line. For the beach. II you
do not do too much swimming
there are waterproof mascaras that
will last reasonably well. These arr
to be removed with cold cream
too. are the brown lash creams thai
give the brows and lasl1es q well
groomed look and help shed watel
at the same time.
