BEIGE and STONE are starred for spring, but they are difficult to wear. Test powders until pou find one that looks like the bloom on a pale alde of a peach. Your rough must be the clear red of a ripe apple, your lipstick matcking. A blue-black or green-blue nascara will look better than the sophistication of black, a grey, blue, or green eye shadmo fresher than more exotic colours.
PINKS and PURPLES are still with us, but you want a warmer, more robust fook in spring sunshine. Buy a darker pink: and mix it with "your winter shade. Your patiek nust be after h tone, roster than the winter cyclamen; póstr roupe must have leas monte in it. Blue muscara and eye shadows is more gentle to eyes tired after late telater nights than mauve.

If some of the contents have burnt on to the dish put it to soak in warm water; the burnt food will soon soften, and can be rubbed off.

Oven glass is not indestructible, And is sensitive to sudden extremes of heat and cold, so never pop a very hot dish steniglit Inte: cold water. When your dish is free from bits and pieces, wash it in hot soapy water. Rinse well, and dry with a glass cloth.
