Don't on any account forget your throat and shoulders. Liquid pow- der is a good make-up for them.

Use a slightly lighter shade than for your face, as they are apt to show up sallow. Besides, they get no other beauty accents.

The next thing to do is to soak some cotton wool in, skin tonic, and press it upon the make-up base. This sets" it and keeps it moist. Upon the moistened base blend in your cream rouge..

Yet, so much can be done with hardly noticeable touches! If your face is too long or your chin too sharp, blend in a little bit of rouge at the point of the chin. :

And remember another thing, an: all-off-the-face hair-sweep leaves a larger area of cheek and brow-for: rouge and powder to cover.

Carry your colour outward along. the cheek-bones towards the ears- unless your face is too broad, in which case keep rouge to the cheek-bone's inner curve). And look out for a too-white hair line. One last rouge hint. If your eyes are large and brilliant, you can afford to rouge more gaily than if they are large and brilliant, you can afford to rouge more, gaily than if they are serene and small.

Having rouged, the next two pro- blems are powder. Yes-two pro- blems! For there are to be two dif- ferent layers.

Your first powder for evening make-up must be a little darker than your skin tone, and you must apply it very generously, patting it thick- ly on and removing excess with your complexion brush.

Now set it, just as you did the foundation base, with cotton wool soaked in skin tonic: this makes for a good matt finish and prevents that ageing, over-powdered look.

This time, use a powder lighter than the skin tone.

Lips must shine with a lacquered look, and will, of course, be the same colour as your rouge.
