SWAM WAY INTO HOLLYWOOD
Esther Williams, former national swimming champion and World’s FanAquacade star, literally swam her way into Hollywood. Until M-G-M made her an offer that was a challenge to this brownhaired, hazel-eyed, champion-spirited beauty, she turned down all movie offers. In “Fiesta,” her ninth picture, you’ll again have a chance to admire her glowing prettiness. Esther’s knack for always looking lovely, even though she’s dripping wet from a swim, has made many of you wonder how she does it. So we asked her.
HER MAKE-UP TECHNIQUE
“I find that the only way to obtain a smooth outline,” Esther says, “is to apply my lipstick with a lipstick brush. At each corner of my upper lip I give a slight, upturned stroke. This helps to give a smiling look to my face. I think lipstick, applied before powdering, gives a more natural look. I then dust a little powder over my lipstick, and moisten my lips with my tongue ... To avoid over-powdering my nose, I begin with the lower part of my face and work toward the center. I powder my nose last. Then, so I won’t rub the powder into my pores, I remove the excess with a soft powder brush . . . I’m usually very tired at night. It’s a temptation to undress quickly and hop into bed without removing my make-up. But I don’t. Before my date with the sandman, I have formed the habit of using warm water, creamy-lathering soap and a complexion brush to scrub my face clean.”
HER EYES, TOO
Esther says she doesn’t feel her make-up is complete without mascara, which she applies to her upper lashes only. “This is so, even when in swimming, it doesn’t smear and make me look as though I had two black eyes!” she laughed ... “I use one tiny brush to apply mascara, then another clean one to remove the excess and to separate the lashes . . . My brows? I don’t pluck them and change their shape. I do remove all stray hairs, however, which appear between and beneath the brows, so that they will look well groomed and cared for. I use a clean mascara brush to brush my brows straight up, then with the tip I smooth them into a trim line.” . . . And that is how Esther Williams accents her loveliness. Swimming, a natural body beautifier, is how she keeps her gorgeous figure!
