Lady Betty Bourke told us." When a girl in a shop suggested that my powder shade might be to blame — well, I was so surprised that I argued! I told her I'd chosen my Peach shade carefully — it was nicest of at least 10 that I'd tried. But she urged me to try Pond's Peach. " In the box it was much like the shade I'd been using. But when I smoothed it on, it really did make my skin look much nicer — more glowing, fresh, and alive. Besides, it gave the smart tint that my old shade lacked. . . . I'm so glad I found Pond's Peach shade of face powder." Try your usual shade — in Pond's Face Powder. Though it may look, in the box, much like your present (Right) See the big difference in tone between the Peach shades of powder found in one shop.
