Yes, Savage does exactly that .. for, it colours the lips a wicked red, without coating them with paste. Apply it like ordinary lipstick and rub it in. Like magic the cosmetic vanishes, leaving only the colour, which instantly becomes an actual part of the lips. With Savage, your lips can be pastelessly. savagely red all day... or all night 1 Four wonderful shades from which to choose. Their fresh loveliness simply cannot

be described. You must SEE them and use them to know how savage they really are.
