New Make-Up Shades
There are as frequent changesį in make-up shades as, there are in fashions. Each season brings. in new colours, and we paint our lips and nails with them, and pat effective blushes on our cheeks.
What some women do not real- ise is that new lipstick rouge and nail polish shades are keyed up to new current season's colours. For instance, if you still are wear- ing your Robin Hood Green dress of last season, do not buy a new hot-pink lipstick to wear with it. Stick to the clear red one which you bought when you bought your dress.
Dress colours run to light greys, electric blues, navy blues of the lighter tone, coralrusts, white (lots) of white for summer) and pin- kish-reds.
Undoubtedly, you have already seen the water-melon red that will accent the greys you wear, the whites, the navy blues and the blacks. You will find lip- sticks, nail polish lacquer, and rouge in this shade, as well as many gay accessories.
The coral-rusts require a lip- stick with more orange in it. And so do the light bronze-greens which will be seen in early suits and coats, and some dresses.

At the resorts, the combination of red-white and blue has most popular, and here again the red is a clear, pinkish-red, instead! of the usual scarlet. Naturally your, - make-up should match exactly, the shade of red you choose to wear.
