a movie star’s PREPARING FOR MAKEUP: The secret to a real professional-looking Hollywood makeup is to give care, patience and practice. Begin now, with cleansing. First, tie your hair back with a pretty band or gay night cap. Is your skin oily? Then wash your face clean with soap and water. If your skin is dry, use cleansing cream. Dab the cream on your neck and face, never rub. Whether soaping or creaming, always stroke upward and out. Do it gently. Feel a tingle? You should, for your skin is being stimulated. Around the eyes, pat cream. Now cream your lashes to make sure all mascara has been removed. Tip: Use a baby’s swab stick for removing mascara around lashes. With tissue, remove cream from face, wiping upward and out (photograph 1 ) until no makeup remains. Now blot with cotton pad wet with cold water, or if your skin is oily, a freshener. MAKEUP BASE : This is important. A tinted base gives you a smooth natural tone all over. The trick: match the base color to your skin. Apply to nose, chin and cheeks, blending into hairline (photograph 2 ) . Cover eyelids and lips, but don’t cover neck, just blend under chin shadow for natural look. If base seems heavy, gently pat away extra with fingers. Too oily, press a tissue against face (photograph 3). ROUGE AND POWDER: Many girls ask, “Why rouge?” For a becoming blush. Put three dots at the high point of your cheekbone (photograph 4), blend lightly toward ears. Don’t go near eyes or nose ! Now apply finishing powder (it has no color but gives a finished look) all over — eyes and eye lashes, too. (Later, mascara over powder will make your lashes look thicker.) Bend head down when patting under eyes so excess powder doesn’t catch in laugh lines. Let powder set, remove excess with brush (photograph 5).
