alQS you Will
need from cleansing cream to the
f1nal dab of perfume. It is the de-
tails Of technique that will differ.
the little tricks in the beauty busi-
ness that will help turn you into q
siren.
First. the skin. Contrary to popu-
lar opinion. night light Is not always
flattering. Electric lights. even our
modern indirect kind. tend to bring
out that dry, taut quality Of many
skins and cast shadows where there
is a suggestion of q line or hollow.
A salon facial during the after
noon before the party would be the
ideal way to c0unteract such ten
denotes. Next best Is q home facial
with lots of dreaming and patting
with lotion. II you haven't the time
for this, however. clean your face
thoroughly with soap and water or
cream and tonic. then apply q mask
for five minutes. This brings up the
circulation and leaves the skin soft
and moist with delicate flush that
fingers.
Wipe of the mask and apply an
emollient cream to remain while
you are having your bath. When
you get out. remove any cream that
hasn't disappeared and sponge the
face with skin tonic. Now you are
ready to lay the foundation for an
expert makeup.
Lotion for Hot Night
You must have q foundation for
evening, a good lasting one, even
though you can get along with little
or nothing for q powder base during
the day. The kind you use will de-
pend lot on your skin. There are
luScious-tinted heavy creams that
partially conceal blemishes or
freckles and keep your makeup on
for hours. II your skin tends to be a
bit oily or II the weather is SO hot
you simply can't bear the thought
of a cream, use one of the cool last
ing powder lotions which give q
natural-looking finish.
II you haven't had lot Of expe-
rience with makeup bases, try the
trick of rubbing the face swiftly
with q piece Of ice and patting
lightly with q tissue, then spreading
the foundation while the skin Is
still slightly moist. The prepare
ton. whether cream or liquid. will
60 on more easily and evenly.
Now to blend your cheek rouge.
You may use it sparingly during the
day or perhaps not at all II you
have q good natural color. but you
will need some at night no matter
what. Natural color has q way OF
waning when you feel tired. SO use
cream rouge that will stay on in
definitely and keep you sparkling
and pretty even though you dance
the whole night through.
Rouge High on Cheek
The proper place for rouge is
high on the cheek bones. faded
away toward the temples and never
any farther in than the pupil Of
each eye. Blend mere hint Of the
color into the under-eye area all the
way to the lower lashes. This helps
conceal circles and makes the eyes
seem larger and brighter.
What you do in a downward di-
rection depends on the shape OF
your face. II 1t Is long and narrow,
keep the triangle fiat. extending no
farther down than the tip Of the
ear. Only the young thing with a
pretty and rounded face can use
rouge In the middle Of the cheek
becomingly. The effect isn't exactly
natural but 1t Is charming. The
older woman with q full face should
wear her rouge far out and down in
a slender pointed triangle.
Lipstick can do new tricks at
night. too. II the lips are thin. you
can rouge them all the way to the
outer lines or even q wee bit beyond
something you would never dare
to do in the daytime. Making the
lower lip bit fuller can do things
to your personality. too. Cupid's
bows are no longer the style. II ever
they were. They look artificial. SO II
you have natural ones play them
down by rounding the upper lip
more at the outer corners.
