my grandmother gave me one Of
my most priced boyhood possess
sions-a kaleidoscope. Watching
the little pieces of colored glass
fall into symmetrical patterns I
soon discovered that the real fas-
cination of the patterns made by
those exquisite bits Of geometry
lay in their gorgeous color combi-
nations.
But it was the use to which
theater people put color in cos
tuning famous actresses that
taught me its Importance in
dramatizing any woman's beauty.
Every woman should learn how to
make color her ally.
To dramatize your coloring, any
color you wear must not only be
keyed to your underlying skin
tone, but must be held to the same
intensity as your overall coloring.
For instance, a very fair. ash
blond girl will not attain the dra-
matte effect she hopes for if she
wears a huilliant Kelly green dress.
The high intensity of the Kelly
green will completely dwarf the
low intensity of her own delicate
coloring. On the other hand. q
water green Is Of just the right in
tensity to accent and dramatize
the fragility of her type, her skin
and hair coloring.
The rule Of matching iftensities
holds for the dark as well as the
fair. The dark skinned girl should
select strong colors to preserve her
vivid coloring. The, titan is the
only exception to the rule. The
color Of her hair Is so high in in
tensity that she can only display
it to advantage against back
ground Of low-keyed color.
When you have mastered this
color principle, you can 60 one
step further along the path Of
dramatizing your appearance by
suiting your colors to the mood Of
the occasion. Every event, big or
small, has definite aura about it
and so does every color. See
whether you can find the right
shade that both matches the oc-
casion and dramatizes you!
Psychologists tell us that colors
have traditional associations in
the mind. That's why you asso-
ciate red with gaiety, yellow with
cheerfulness, blue with restfulness,
white with purity. Now. maybe
you'll understand why you like to
wear any shade of red from pink
to wine for a party, yellow on
bright leisurely Sunday mornings.
blue for quiet evenings at home
and white for the biggest moment
Of your life.
Experts use these tricks in dress
ing the casts for the theater. How
about being an expert yourself on
your home stage?
