Photoplay (Jan-Jun 1951)

actual measurements. You can plan your make-up by the real outline of your face. I work out new hair styles this way by being my own sketch artist. 25. Elizabeth Taylor: I have a few black moles on my face and shoulders. They look like little freckles and are quite small. When I want to cover them up for pictures, I use a light layer of pan-stik — with just a little extra dab right over the mole itself. If the pan-stik is the exact color of your complexion, you can’t tell you have it on — but the moles don’t show. 26. Amanda Blake: I’m a natural redhead and I have freckles. Some girls look very cute with freckles. They are the outdoor type — like Doris Day — and freckles only make them look healthy. But I’m not the athletic type. I look horrible with freckles and must avoid them at all costs. The only thing I have ever done that really helped this problem was simply to stay out of the sun. I wear beach hats to the beach in the summer — or, preferably, just don’t accept beach dates. If I go swimming in a pool, I do it after four — when the sun is down. I bide my time — for summertime is not my dish. I look a lot better when winter comes! I’ve used a lot of the bleaches on the market, but I’m the type of redhead that has a very thin, fine skin. It can’t take severe bleaches. The strongest I ever use is pure lemon juice, which is a little drying — so I follow it with a little cream before putting on my make-up. 27. Joan Bennett: During the war 1 wrote a book called, “How to Be Attractive.” To write it required a great deal of research. The most valuable thing I learned was that the greatest single beautifier is complete cleanliness. That doesn’t mean a quick dash in and out of the shower. You should wash your face with a mild soap (but never scrub it). When your face is tingling clean, blot it dry. Then apply a thick nourishing cream and get into a warm (not hot) relaxing bath. Put witch hazel pads on your eyes — and just relax for ten minutes. Then, scrub yourself thoroughly, using a scrub brush for those stubborn areas — your back, elbows, and feet, and briskly rub yourself dry with a turkish towel. Rub some cream into your elbows and hands to combat dryness, and shave off any excess hair. Lie down with your head down and your feet up for ten minutes. You can almost feel the blood go to your head and erase fatigue. When you erase fatigue lines, you are on your way to beauty. 28. Joan also advises: Posture tells the world a lot of things — including how old you are. An identification mark of the walk and posture of the older woman is a forward thrust of the head. Her back may be straight, but her head leans forward to watch her steps. This makes all the throat muscles slack and loose. I used to have very bad posture, and I had to take lessons to correct it. 29. Esther Williams: There’s no reason why you can’t look lovely while you are swimming. I do my hair in braids so that there are no curls or strands to droop down when I’m in the water. But the way I prevent both my body and my hair from getting too dry is to rub oil all over my body before I go in the water, and I literally soak my hair in oil before I braid it. 30. Judy Clark: I have a beauty routine I go by religiously. One week, I use the treatment every night; the next week, every other night. First I wash my face with a lanolin soap which is good for dry skin. I rinse thoroughly with warm, not hot, water, and blot dry with a towel. I put almond oil all over my face and neck and leave on for half an hour. Then I wipe it off and again wash my face. This treatment opens the pores thoroughly for a complete cleansing and then shuts the pores so they will not become enlarged. 31. Susan Hayward: Anyone can develop a beautiful smile. And you should do it before you establish a pattern of laughing that is not attractive. Perhaps you have a long thin face. If you pull your smile too “wide,” you will get wrinkle-lines down the side of your face which may later develop into deep crevices. Learn to smile with your eyes, without stretching your face all out of shape. If your gumline shows when you laugh, and you don’t want it to. practice laughing without lifting your upper lip so high. Immobilize that upper lip. let it come down and frame your teeth. Modify your smile. If your upper lip is too long, tilt your head slightly when you laugh. What Hollywood stars must learn to make their smiles seem more attractive, you can learn, too. 32. Another from Susan: Something we should all learn in our teens is that our posture and the way we walk tell others what we think of ourselves. The girl who carries herself with assurance and poise is more apt to get that job, to be seated at the best table, to be welcomed into that special group. A girl who droops apologetically, is labeled as uninteresting before she has a chance to prove otherwise. When you walk and stand gracefully and confidently, people are attracted to you — feeling you have something to offer. 33. Adrian Booth: I believe in stimulating the skin to give it that radiant look. I first cleanse my face with soap and water. Then I rub in a little cleansing cream and wipe it off with cleansing tissue to make sure that every bit of dust and grime has been removed. Now, for my special secret! I use a cream that has a basis of camphor. Camphor is very stimulating. But, since it is also very drying, this special cream has rich oils in it to combat that dryness.
