Hollywood (Jan - Oct 1934)

The Stars* Own Beauty Hints Continued from page forty-four If you desire, you might apply a little cream around the eyes, patting it in very gently from the outer corner of the eyes to the nose and up over the eyelid. Then, after you've rested a few minutes, gently remove the cream and put on your eye shadow. Remember, if you want your eyes to appear large and luminous, your shadow should be darker at the fringe of the lashes. Don't try for exotic effects with purple or green eye-shadow. It's a bride's place to look like the natural "full flower of girlhood" and she spoils a great deal of her charm by going sophisticated. Time enough for that later. And anyway, only women with thin faces, high cheek bones and long slinky bodies can really afford to look exotic! The Proof Of good eye make-up is in it's not being obvious at first glance. No man wants his wife to have that artificial aspect. Young-girlish-nineteen can over-paint her mouth defiantly and use much too much mascara and still get her man — if he takes the trouble to find the real her under the bad "paint job." But once she gets him it's another story. How often have you heard a woman say inquisitively to her husband — "But you liked me made up this way before we were married. . . ." Yes, he liked her in snite of it! Now, you see, it's different. She belongs to him. He wants her natural looking. That is why young matrons should be so artful with their make-up. A pair of high-powered eyes will keep any husband interested — but it isn't necessary to let him know you spent five minutes with eyelash make-up, shadow and nencil to give them that dangerously exciting look! Do it subtly. And right here I'd like to give a warning to all brides: The minute your eyes tell hubby he's just something to be taken for granted you can say good-bye to romance. Keep them interested in what he says, always aware of his presence. You won't have any trouble doing this at first but about the third or fourth year of marriage — then is the time to check up on it. And here's another warning: Get rid of that outdated idea that you have to retire swathed in cold cream and looking like something out of Puck. Many a girl has wailed about that. For some it's even been a minor tragedy — and it's so needless. By all means use your skin and tissue cream before going to bed but — there's no reason why it should give you that oily, ghost-like appearance. Pat it in well all over your face. Then "sef it by dousing your face in cold water and lightly sponging it of with paper tissues. Never rub it off with a towel. By gently sponging it, enough of the cream remains to. do its nightly trick of keeping your skin smooth and lovely, and yet it isn't so noticeable. Another cause of worry for many a bride is oily skin. After she has thoroughly cleansed it the oil secretions have a way of seeping out so that her face becomes unpleasantly shiny. Well, a new and very delightful method has been discovered of overcoming that . . . and it's used by screen stars with that kind of skin. There's a honeysuckle cream that works magic with an oily skin and has an enticing fragrance more delicate JUNE, 1934 than any perfume. In the morning you apply your astringent first and then this honeysuckle cream, which serves as a make-up base. This combination of preparations will gradually correct the oily condition, and in the motion picture studios of Hollywood many stars have found the skin entirely normalized after using the astringent and honeysuckle cream for awhile. Morning, Every Morning, is going to be important for you. You'll want your husband to carry away with him to the office a charming picture of you. One that will remain with him for the entire day. So — say it with pink! Very soft, very delicate. Get in a pinky mood! Wear that color if it is at all becoming because of all the shades, that is the shade for romance. Let your cheeks have a rosy morning flush. Let your mouth be a deeper, gay color — but not dark red. Save that for evening. And your hands . . . what are they saying about you as they move over the coffee pot? Are they white and smooth and cared for? Or dull, hardened, "housewife" hands? A man doesn't say much, but these little things have a way of growing into his consciousness. So don't spare your hand lotion and twice a day work your tissue cream into the knuckles after thoroughly washing. If the hands are brown and spotted there is a bleach mask to rub on them to make them alluringly white. And as for the nails . . . they're the sign post of the girl who cares. Tissue cream will keep them from becoming brittle and almost everyone knows it is better to file nails because clipping has a tendency to thicken them. In choosing polish, study your skin tone. Very often a too rosy nail accents a sallow skin. And also consider your frock and lipstick. If you are in pastels, you will want a wild rose or shell pink nail polish. Black and white are the best offset for brilliant red lacquer. But supposing you don't like a highly brilliant polish. Then dip the nails in cold water after the polish has dried and buff them. However, in case you want really shining results, use a layer of colorless polish underneath the bright one. Stubby hands — yes, there's a trick for them, too. Two shades of nail polish, blended from deep at the moon to pale at the tip, will give the nails^-and consequently the fingers — a longer, tapering look. Ply your lipstick with a clever hand, giving your mouth a high arch and full, curving lines. As soon as you notice a tired drdop to your lips and to the muscles at the side of your face, you might try Jean Parker's "huff and puff" facial exercise. Fill your cheeks with air and try to blow it out through tightly closed lips. Doing this twelve or fifteen times a day will strengthen the muscles and help to erase the little tired lines. Incidentally, Jean may soon be married herself. He's her high school sweetheart, Francis Lucas. Frankly, as a last word to you brides, I think personal daintiness is the greatest asset you can possess. Remember — it's the little things a woman does that make a man worship her!
