Make-up Tests, Photographed on Agfa Super pan Press be seen that the skin-tone in the “B" test, which used the 6-N “pancake” foundation was excellent, but that the lip-tone given by the Deep Red liprouge was rendered rather too light. The “C” test, on the other hand, shows that while the 7-N foundation used seems a trifle dark, the lip-tone produced by the No. 40-dark lip-rouge was most pleasing. Therefore the recommendation is a combination of these two make-ups: the 6-N “pancake” foundation and the No. 40-Dark lip-rouge, with the gray eye-shadow. In conclusion, it should again be pointed out that individual variations in laboratory processing methods may produce some variation from the results here described: in some laboratories, negative development and printing may combine to give a some what flatter result than obtained in these tests, while in others, the same factors may give a higher contrast. In such instances, however, we believe that a slight change in the shade of lip-rouge employed should be all that is necessary for compensation ; where soft processing is used, a darker liprouge will restore the desired balance, while where the processing inclines to higher contrast, a lighter shade of liprouge should suffice. It may also be mentioned that while the tests reproduced show only a blonde subject, the preliminary tests were made with both blondes and brunettes. However, so little difference in make-up was evidenced that it was decided identical make-ups would, w'ith these films, be equally satisfactory for both blonde and brunette. 11
