CfTt/I OST women think ‘natural’ ItJL means ‘drab,’ ” Nina Blan¬ chard, of NBC’s make-up department, says, “and promptly forget about mas¬ cara and eyebrow pencil.” Dick Smith, Nina’s boss and depart¬ ment head, explained the theory be¬ hind eye make-up. “Eyebrows are your most important facial feature. Properly spaced eyes have a distance between them equal to the space of one eye. Thus, the brow should begin at a point just over the inner corner of the eye. Through a quirk of nature, the left eyebrow frequently begins closer to the nose. Too often, women tweeze out an equal amount from each brow.” Demonstration model Jill Corey, the new singer on The Dave Garro- way Show , had scarcely tweezed her brows, but Nina used a pencil any¬ way. “Eyebrows should have a fair amount of thickness,” Dick and Nina agreed. “The hair line eyebrow is not only ugly but passe.” To pencil in brows, use short, hair¬ like strokes with a sharply pointed pencil. For a natural look, brush the brows afterwards with a clean mas¬ cara brush. A pencil line along the eyelids will give an illusion of thickness to lashes. Since this represents the shadow cast by the lashes, the penciled line should be blended with the fingertip. Women who like eyeshadow should apply it only for evening wear. “And all women should steer clear of green, metallic or any unnatural colors in eyeshadow,” according to Dick. “Only gray, blue or violet colors create the impression you’re after—a dark frame to make the eyes seem larger and whiter.” Lip rouge should be applied with a brush, drawing a definite, even out¬ line. If you cannot manipulate a brush, try using the long, pencil-like lipsticks to draw the outline, then fill in. A brush takes practice but re¬ sults in a controlled line that is best for your face. Older women mistakenly shy away from lip brushes and tend to put on thin, small mouths. “All women need a full mouth line,” Dick advises. “It gives a youthful effect.” 22
