Know The Don'is

Some dos and Is for
makeup mastery.
Knowing what not 10 do is
nall the battle IN good makeup.
The don Is are important and
easy to remember, so they come
first:
Don't wear eyeshadow in the
daytime. You'll have plenty of
after dark dates where il will
be all right. The afternoon is no
time 10 look languid-lidded.
Don't draw a hard line on
your eyebrows. Watch il partic-
ularly al the bridge of the nose.
1t viii give you a hard look.
Don't wear your rouge in a
pattern. II should be applied 10
the highest part of the cheek
bone and blended away into the
skin tone.
Don't wear thick lipstick. Use
a lipstick brush to follow your
natural lipline. Outline your
lips first and then fill in solid
with a clear red for daytime.
Tips TO Remember
Here are the dos. TO give
you a fresh-as-a-daisy face to
start that gala weekend.
DO try drawing a thin line
with your eyebrow pencil right
against the lashes on your up
per lid. II will make your lashes
look darker and thicker.
Do apply your mascara with
a nearly dry brush. Wet lashes
stick together and give a hard
appearance.
Do try a bit of eyeshadow for
that evening dinner dance.
Match il TO your eyes or your
gown, but be subtle and you'll
be glamourous.
Do use a hpstick verging on
mauve for evening. A dark lip
stick is flattering after dark.

Makeup


THE IMPORTANCE of
makeup cannot be exaggerated,
but makeup can! And often is.
A discreet makeup job can not
only add TO a natural appear
ance, but also can protect a
precious complexion from dust
and wind. So here is a helpful
word 10 the girl who wishes to
wear makeup without looking
overdone.
Cake makeup can be a great
boon 10 most girls when used
correctly. Here's the way Ram
say Ames of "Pan-Americana"
wears II as the basis for a long
lasting and natural looking COM
plexion beauty. Using wet
sponge. she squeezes il out and
rubs II lightly over the cake.
She smoothS IL on carefully and
applies rouge while IL is still
wet. She squeezes all the water
out OF the sponge and rubS il
lightly over her face until the
makeup dries. That's all there
