Apply Rouge To Play Up Your Eyes

By HELEN FOLLETT

WHEN playing with the make-up kit, keep in mind the fact that the purpose of rouge is to give freshness to the complexion and to play up the eyes. Therefore, it should be placed high, no matter what type you may be. Cream

than rouge is more effective for this purpose

the compact which is just for in emergency touch up. Put the cream rouge on in dots, one under the eye, one out toward the temple, one in the centre of the cheek, then blend them to- gether. Use powder, then the synthetic blush, then powder again; there will be no clear cut borders to your cheek roSES.
