f~ Photoplay's Own Beauty Shop (Continued from page 10) Inartificial to blend with a natural appe;ance." ) now I'm letting my eyebrows grow in oo — I can take a hint. If your eyeiirvs are too light, though, don't make (hJmistake of using a dark pencil down h middle of them to make them more iIlous. Try this instead: use a brown n.cara on the light hairs and extend h brows lightly at the ends with the uvn pencil. Keep the mascara brush Ifely damp, so the mascara doesn't •a; on your brows. If you're plucking I the stray hairs, be sure to pull them n le direction in which the hair grows, I use witch hazel, or an antiseptic, ii+our brows afterwards so they won't jnv red or swollen. you're dissatisfied with the shape if our brows but aren't quite sure how I xperiment with them, try covering hln up with grease paint or a very i^/y foundation cream and then draw nhew outlines with your pencil until rd find just the right outline to frame rqr eyes and add to the symmetry of Wr features. fter Loretta, at the director's call, y sauntered gracefully away, I >l|lded wearily back through the sand liking that it's easier to look delicate U fragile if you have Loretta's nat■ ly fair skin and blue eyes, but supra you're a decided brunette with le skin, dark eyes and blue -black B. What do you do then? I BOUGHT of Gale Page, one of WarH Brothers' newly made stars, who's lively, definite brunette, and went Hr to see her. KTiat are you going to do this fall?" Asked her. "That's a very fine tan U have now, but you can't look so extjnely glowing and healthy when rre wearing a romantic type of gown. Rtell all." I know," Gale admitted ruefully. Ire I take such a swell tan that it's ijctically impossible to avoid it during K summer — even if I wanted to, which Im't. But now I'm bleaching out. So having softening and bleaching Jams smoothed into my back and lulders as well as my face. And see if hands? I saturate them with a good ji cream before I go to bed at night ill then I sleep in a pair of white coti gloves. I feel like a mammy singer, I it softens and bleaches your hands [t it's fine for the nails, too." Ln eye-wrinkle or emollient cream is {id to pat into your lids and the area tund your eyes at night also, to counjact the drying effect of the sun and to ten and lubricate the tissues. :l'm right in the midst of changing make-up, too," Gale sighed wistly. "All summer I've been using l-tan powder, and just a faint touch rouge that has sort of an orange cast it, and a flame color lipstick to show the tan. But now — that all has to be ;mged — I have to look pale and rontic." And how are you going to do it?" I lied avidly, settling myself to hear all tails -on how to look as though you aid go into a graceful feminine swoon any moment. 'Well, you see, I can't go in for that lk and white make-up that blondes girls with fair skins can use with :h great effect, because even at my lest I'm pretty dark. So in the dayle I use an olive powder and no rouge at all because somehow that makes you look paler. My lipstick is still vivid to accent the pallor but it doesn't have so much orange in it as when I'm more tanned in the summer. And then a touch of grey eyeshadow to finish up." This last tidbit is a very good tip for you glowing brunettes, because Gale feels that a brown eyeshadow doesn't give her the same effect that the grey does. If you have an olive skin and black eyes, try the grey, too, and see if it isn't more flattering than brown. AT night when Gale goes out to a formal affair, she goes in for more sophistication than during the daytime. If you're blonde and delicate, a truly romantic gown will make you look like a dream, but if you're dark and more of the sophisticated type, accent your sophistication and don't go in for the naive effects that do so much for a blonde. Unless, of course, you're the type that can have the contrast of a sophisticated face and a dress that is incredibly naive and girlish. If you can get away with it, you'll be a huge success— but, I warn you, it's none too easy. Gale has found that a powder with a mauve tone gives her skin pallor and translucency at night under electric lights. "The rest of your make-up has to have sort of a bluish cast too, though," she explained, "so my rouge is a purplish pink, rather like cyclamen. I put it high on my cheekbones to bring them out, and you'd be surprised at the exotic effect I can get that way. And naturally my lipstick is exactly the same shade as the rouge. A deep mauve eyeshadow is the glamour touch, too." At night, Gale smooths the shadow into her lids all the way up to her brows. It's heavier near her lashes, of course, and then is shaded away to her brows. This is very glamorous under electric lights, but it's too artificial for daytime wear, so, during the day, Gale uses the grey shadow just on her lids. A faint line drawn very close to her lashes, both upper and lower, thus outlining her eyes, is also a fine trick for evening but too theatrical and harsh looking for daytime. And then, to frame the whole effect, Gale has her hair rolled up off her face to get that brand-new old-fashioned appearance that's so smart for fall. So you see, by following these girls' tips, it's easy enough to look glamorous and romantic, even though you're just recovering from a healthy strenuous summer. As for me, I plodded wearily back to my office thinking small thoughts about the vicious circle of this beauty-seeking and romance-searching occupation of ours which demands the ridingbreeches and steak for dinner approach one year, and the lavender-andold-lace-camisole setup the next. Anyway, fade out your complexion first before you fade into glamour. The smooth loveliness of Loretta's shoulders made me hunt to find the perfect exercise to develop and round out your shoulders so you'll look equally romantic in your new evening gowns. I've found it, and if you write me I'll be very glad to mail it on to you. Be sure, though, to enclose a stamped, selfaddressed envelope.

And since I've been using it, my nails are in grand condition all the time. So — naturally I prefer Revlon. Who wouldn't?" It's Mary Cosgrave speaking, one of the loveliest — and busiest — of professional photographic models. She says: "With Revlon, I suddenly find I'm a wizard at putting on my own Nail Enamel when a particular shade is wanted for a rush job. Revlon goes on like a dream. It's so easy to apply. And what a help that is!" Most smart women agree with lovely Mary Cosgrave. You will, too, once you try Revlon. For it is better. Costlier ingredients and improved scientific methods of manufacture keep it so! IMPORTANT FOR FALL: Tartar, a rich grape red for wear with wines and blacks; Sierra, a buff rose shade for olive greens — and Suez, a deep brick for browns and spice shades. NAIL "TIPS": Use adheron as a base-coat under nail enamel to protect fragile nails. Gives a hard, smooth surface to soft ridged nails. Prolongs wear. May also be used as a top coat for extra lusrre. Other Revlon nail beautifiers are: Revlon Oily Polish Remover (no acetone) in liquid or pads; Cuticle Lotion; Nail Cream. 125 WEST 45TH ST., NEW YORK 151 SPARKS ST., OTTAWA.
