FACES and FASHION

by DAPHNE EARL

A Touch of Colour

NEVITABLE no 0 turkoy at Christmas time is that little dark dress. It is the axis around which our winter wardrobe revolves. A little woollen frock in a practical but becoming shade, a dark,' fur- collared coat to go with it, a close- fitting hat to match, and, then, just to round things off 'nicely, another little dark frock in a more frivolous mood for afternoona - or informal- evening affairs!

There's no doubt about it, from October to March we women are, for

the most part, dark minded! Yet thero

are hundreds of people who say that the darker colours east a blight on their lives because they don't sult their faces.

I

actually had a letter from a girl who bemoaned that she had been given a black fox fur for a present, and she knew she'd "look awful!

"Black doesn't suit mo.” she wrote.

Instead of suggesting that I could offer that fox a good, kind home in my own wardrobe), I told her how to put her face in order. She's now wearing black day in and day out)

That's the miracle about modern make-up-It allows you to wear most of the colours which have hitherto been taboo. Instead of choosing only the shindra which obviously sult you tono gels tired of the same vid round) you can make your face sult the frock.

Follow Your Fancy

You know all those old tags "Joan can't wear blue, poor dear, be- cause she's so sajlow," or "Mabel adores green, but she's pale and looks washed-out in it." Well, these remarks can be put on the shelt and left there. Indulge your colour fancy and then, ilterally, face up

to It.

Having made this bold statement, I must just nód a word of warning, Don't choose shades which clash with your hair. There are not many of these and they are easily avoided.

For instance, girls with real blue-binck hair shouldn't wear nigger brown- they'll look better in n düzen other colours, Titian hair won't live imppily with any other shade of red But there are few of these dɔn't

At one time people were guided entirely by their skin colour in choosing dreas stindes, but skins are casily adjusted, and they like a change as much sa we do.

Now let's look at the dark colours which will be worn this winter, and get

our faces into tune with them.

There's the ever-indispensable binck flots and lots of it: browns, which. Include a lovely 'copper" shade: Patou Bue, which is a light navy dusted over

with grey; a dark spinach green which la marvellously becoming, and wine in every hun from burgundy to dark slicity.

Black first. Broadly speaking. fair giris need to warm up" their skina with peachy powder freal peach, not the kind which looks either yellow or bard plak) and wear lipstick and rouge in a gay red-hot, too deep.

This will give sparkle and warmth where otherwise black is «pt to make. fair faces look cold.

Dark Women need the opposite make-up. A powder which will fighten the skin lone, with lipstick in a really bright shade.

and you have to help yourself back to vividness.

Browns, especially the new copper, and the deep terra-cottas that are in the news now, are kind to most of us, If they are well-chosen, "full" shades they bring out the golden rints in blondes and give a gleam to brunetica
