ADVICE BY KAY FRANCIS

Remove The Old Make-Up

To have a really lovely skin, (translucent and young looking, a woman" always must remove. –And I mean thoroughly remove old makeup before applying new,” Says Kay Francis, one of the most {beautiful stars in Hollywood.

"Of course, there are times dua- ing the day or evening when nose gets shiny and has to be dusted with powder. But this should be done" seldom and as little powder as possible should be used.

“In my own bandbag I carry 1] Ismall bottle of my favourite) liquid cleanser which I can use at a moment's notice. Then, with one small, but well-equipped! vanity case containing powder, rouge and lipstick, I am able to run into a dressing room and give. myself a fresh makeup as quickly and in much more satisfactory manner than I could repair the I believe the first rule in good grooming should be never to wear makeny in layers.”
