BEAUTY SECRET S

THE PATCHWORK COMPLEXION

Fatchwork quilts are fashionable again, but the same effect isn’t charming when it’s worked in feminine skin. • A perfectly made-up face that rise? from a v-shaped, weather beaten neck • is nothing short of incongruous. Even the most enchanting beauty must turn her back sometimes and a strip of rough brown nape will shatter all the illusions that beautiful eyes and a sparkling smile have created. A vigorous, outdoor life is the birthright of every healthy girl, but all the joy can be taken out of sunworshipping when she puts on formal clothes and finds that the straps of her bathing suit have become permanent fixtures on her back. young lady who drives an autommobile with one arm resting on the door will find that her two arms don't match each other, and as for matching her face, they both are off-colour. Imagine your favourite motion picture actress wearing a gorgeous creation for evening wear before the telltale of the cemera with face one shade, neck another, and two-toned arms. The ensemble would be reminiscent of either the patchwork quilt or the mongrel dog who Haunts the colours of several of the best breeds. Why it is then, that such luminaries as Norma Shearer and Marlene Dietrich can look so well in revealing formal clothes, while the average woman would be a conglomeration of browns, tans, reds, and white It is really no secret at all. The star whose entire career depends on a perfect appearance at all times would never let herself become a patchwork 'quilt in the first place. If she were on location at the beach, in tho mountains, or on the desert she would protect her neck and arms by using make-up blender on them. Make-up blender imparts a natural, soft, creamy appearance to the skin, and since it comes in four shades it can be made to blend perfectly with the colour scheme of your other cosmetics. Every summer and winter the weather batters at your complexion. If you have already developed a patchwork colour scheme, you needn’t despair. Use your make-up blender anyway and you

will find that it will work almost like magic to make your skin evenly matched. In other words, it is both a prevention and a cure. The greatest advantage of this preparation is that it will not come off. You need not leave oily streaks of white powder on your escort’s dinner jacket, nor will it make the neck of your black evening wrap your complexion. Make-up blender will stay on, even in salt water, and it will not rub off. It actually forms an invisible film that protects your skin from the elements. For this reason it is a double blessing to the typo that freckles easily. You wont get freckles if the rays of the sun don’t reach you. Don’t let its permanence terrify you, however, for though it wont come off

in fresh or salt water, your complexion soap and water will remove it instantly. Any form of make-up should be removed at night with cleansing cream and soap and water. You have probably read this dozens of times before but it can never be said too often. When you are ready to venture out again the next day, see that you go protected. The proper way to apply make-up blender is with tho tips of tho lingers, using a one-way, downward stroke — never circular —and it should be one of the last steps in completing your toilette. Last of all spray your coiffure with liquid brillox and you may be quite sure, provided you havo followed previous instructions carefully, that you are perfectly groomed for any social occasion.
