FACES and FASHION

by DAPHNE EARL

A Touch of Colour

NEVITABLE AS A turkey 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- itting hat to match, and, then, Just to round things off nicely. another little dark frock in a more frivolous mood-for-afternoons or informat 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 cast 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 n black fox tur

for a present, and she knew she'd "look awfuli ".

"Black doesn't suit me." she wrote.

Instead of suggesting that I could offer that fox a good, kind home (in my Sho's now wearing own wardrobes, I told her how to put her face in order.

That's the mimeté about madem make-up-it allows you to wear most of the colours which have hitherto been taboo. Instead of choosing only the shadra which obviously suit you (one gets tired of the same old round) you can make your face zult the frock.

Follow Your Fancy

you know all those old tngs" Joan can't wear blue, poor dear, be-

cause she's so sallow," or "Mabel adores green, but she's pale and look washed-out in it." Well, these remarks can be put on the shelf and left there. to it.

Indulge your colour fancy and then, literally, face up where otherwise black is upt to make

Having made this bold statement, I must just add 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-black hair shouldn't wear nigger brown they'll look, better in a dozen other colours. Tilan hair won't live happily with any other shinde of red But there are few of these don'ta.

At one the people were guided entirely by their skin colour in choosing dress shades, but skins are easily adjusted, and they like a change as much

na we do.

Now let's look at the dark colours which will be worn this winter, and get our faces into tune with them.

Dark women need the opposite make-up. A powder which will lighten the skin tone, with Upstick in a really belt fine.

Oriental Note

·D OSE-RACHEL powder is lovely for fair skins and brown furs. but dark girls can chouse a light sunburn or a dark rachel which will give their skins a romantie depth. Wear this with a man- darin rouge and allied to your dusky hair, you'll see a fascinating hint of the Orient creep into the effect.

I think fair people want a rather Baht rouge for brown-something to intensify the natural colour.
