If makeup Is correct there will
be no heavy. garish effect to spoil
that natural look. We have learned
lot about how to beautify our
eyes in the past 20 years. If you
have a chance to see one Of the
oldtime movies, take look at such
lovelies as Mabel Normand. Note
her low. thick eyebrows. heavily
mascaraed upper and lower laShes
that made her eyes look like great
dark holes in her face.
Then there was the f1apper Pc
Rod when eyebrows were plucked
to a thin, straight line and extend
ed nearly to the temples: the
period when everyone was copying
CARLOS highly .arched eyebrows:
the period of much shadow. usual
ly the wrong color, and heavy mas
cara. All were unnatural and not
particularly flattering.
Makeup Natural Today
Today. you follow the -brow's
natural contour. leaving it as thick
as possible after you have re-
moved enough stragglers outside
the main part to give clean-cut.
well-groomed line. You can lower
or lift it trifle by plucking
single line of hairs at the upper
edge or underneath part to make
your eyes appear larger or smaller
and so give other features an ap-
pearance of better balance. Still
your eyebrow line will be natural.
If brows are light in color, use
an eyebrow pencil with short
strokes to avoid a harsh. artificial
line. If they are naturally dark
and full, brush well TO remove any
fiecks of powder or dust and put
every hair in its place, then touch
with brilliantine or cream to give
a lovely gloss.
If the eyelids tend to be pale in
color, add a little shadow near the
lashes and blend it softly upward
for a subtle effect. Choose a creamy
shadow that will blend nicely and
give your lids misty sheen rather
than a definite color. Be sure that
the shade harmoniZeS with your
own coloring.
As a general rule, only the girl
with very dark hair should use
black eyebrow pencil and black
mascara. There are q few excep-
tions. however. The redhead with
very dark hair and dark blue eyes
with a fair skin can use black and
so can a platinum blonde with
milky skin and violet eyes. The
great majority of blondes. brown
cites or redheads will look more
natural with brown pencil and
mascara. Almost anyone can get
away with dark blue or violet
lashes for evening, but shouldn't
attempt colored mascara in the
daytime.
Must Experiment
Finding the right shade OF shad-
ow requires experimenting. You
should select a shade that accentu-
ates the color Of your eyes or If you
want to be very smart, change your
shadow with your costume color.
For example, with shades Of rust,
brown, beige and green. the most
flattering shade would be bronze or
green. With black. all shades OF
blue, purple and gray select your
eve shadow from the flattering
shades of blue, blue-gray and vio-
let.

tricks for eye makeup. To make
protruding eyes less noticeable.

upper lids, blending 1t to the eye

using shadow, spread thin film OF
cream or oil on your lids. II your
eyes are too close together, use your
tweezers to widen the distance be-
tween the eyebrows across the nose

eyebrow pencil by extending them
toward the temples. Apply mascara
more heavily on the lashes from the
center of the eye outward. To make
small eyes seem larger, draw q fine
line with an eyebrow pencil from
the outer corner Of each eye about
