Modern Screen (Dec 1931 - Nov 1932 (assorted issues))

Modern Screen ful than any other about the cosmetics she uses. In the first place, everything she uses in the way of make-up and everything she wears must be held up before the question, "How will it go with my hair?" (Miss Lane's article on Jeanette MacDonald on page 70 will be found very helpful where the clothes problem is concerned.) The redheaded gal must forego bright rouge and bright lipstick. Yet she must have color in her face. That is, with the rare exception of the redhead who is blessed with a creamy pallor rather than a pink-andwhite complexion. A very soft wild rose shade of rouge and lipstick is the best. A creamy rose powder. A little brown mascara — none in the daytime. The merest touch of blue-green eye-shadow — only in' the evening. DUT these hints, I admit, are very " arbitrary. The shades of cosmetics mentioned will probably not suit every type of redhead. She must experiment herself. Always remembering this : whatever you use, use it sparingly. And forego fads in cosmetics. In the summer time, don't let the fact that everyone is getting beautifully tanned tempt you into wearing backless and sleeveless dresses. You'll only freckle, nine chances out of ten. Just go your own way, dodging the sun carefully. And here's a welcome thought for swimming days : there's going to be a new kind of beach hat. It isn't a hat, really — it's a detachable brim. You wear your skull bathingcap to swim, and when you come out of the water you slip the detachable brim over it. These brims are huge — they'll cover the neck and shoulders and save you hours of fidgety thoughts about those pesky freckles. A ND now, a few more points about the hair. I'm not going to say a word about coiffures this time. I'm going to give you one or two tips about the hair itself — about washing it and keeping it in the best of condition. Remember: the normal head of hair sbould be shampooed at least every ten days; the excessively oily hair every week, or possibly every five days ; the very dry hair every two weeks — in extreme cases, every three weeks. But, really, if your hair is that dry you had better do something about it. For instance, melt down some castile soap for your shampoo and add a teaspoonful of olive oil to a quart of same. Whatever your type of hair, remember that cleanliness is the first requisite of hair beauty. Take time to shampoo your hair. If you are in the habit of giving yourself a hot oil treatment first (and I strongly recommend it for every type of hair), rinse your hair in warm, clear water before applying the soap. A very good hairdresser told me that, after an oil treatment, the hair should first be rinsed in cold water, because it cuts the oil immediately. To be perfectly honest, I've never had quite the necessary courage to thrust my own head into cold water first pop. I'm a person who likes to work up to cold water gradually. And I do find that the warm rinse works very well.
