Movie Classic (Sep 1935-Feb 1936)

How Carole Lombard's Clothes Match Her Moods [Continued from page 45] and a low-placed roll in back. You cannot help but be a poised young person, who looks as if she had the "classic" answer to everything. But the scene changes and the mood with it. There is a blue sky melting against a still bluer sea. And you want to be in your gayest mood — in beach clothes that are terribly smart, but not too studied. For that, Travis suggests blue and white polka-dotted shorts. And an ankle-lengfti white coat lined with the blue and white material. If you wear a cape or coat that hits your bare legs somewhere in the calf, the effect is far from attractive. And, before you go out, scrub your face ! Yes, actually. The "lustrous look" is the thing at the shore this season. If your face is very dry, rub on a little nourishing cream and let it stay. Instead of lip rouge, use pomade on your mouth to protect it from the sun. And the most exciting thing of all is that last-minute scheme of Carole's. She sprinkles gardenia oil in a lukewarm bath. Enough of the oil clings to the skin to guard it against an overdose of sunburn and the subtle fragrance is delightful. .# '■;■ • ALMOST every girl has a flair for "the modern manner," but Banton considers it the most overdone. "It's so easy for a girl to overstep the line and harden her looks when she is in a sophisticated mood," the designer points out. "Sophistication must be done with great care and an eye to complete harmony. This is what I mean : I made a very sleek, flesh-colored satin gown for Miss Lombard, the kind that looked as if it had been molded on her. There were bands crossing in front and a sable collar. She parted her hair in the center and drew it back severely and tightly, permitting it to curl out only at the ends. And because her hair was swept back like that, she made up her mouth much more fully than usual. (For a sophisticated effect, you see, the accent must be on the eyes, the lips, and the line of the dress.) And again, instead of black, she used dark brown eyebrow pencil. It is subtle touches like these that spell the difference between real sophistication and attempts at it." And it is worth doing well, because nothing gives a girl such a sense of power as a dramatization of feminine wisdom. Ah, but you have a new beau. And that is another story . . . For once, you don't care a whoop about being smart or chic. You want to be downright pretty! You are in your most feminine mood. So you put on something soft and preferably pastelish, for this is decidedly not the time to wear anything bright or too surprising. Next, you set about making your face as heart-shaped and dewy-eyed as possible. Using Carole as a model, you may part your hair in the center — but this time you will draw it oh-so-gently to the sides and let it fluff there. You will keep your lips moist and natural-looking. The sparkle in your eyes should be something to write home about — and five minutes' rest with eye-pads before you go downstairs will Top, in a Sophisticated Mood, Carole Lombard wears a sleek, flesh-colored satin gown. Her hair is drawn back severely, curling only at the ends. Her make-up 'has subtle touches.
