MODERN MAKE-UP.

London’s fashionable beauties arc reported to have adopted a new make-up Here is the new regime:

For the very fair blonde, orange rouge and lipstick, with a sl'ghtly paler powder. For the mid-brown woman, cherry cosmetics. For the handsome brunette, vivid carnation or cciisc.

Apricot is another of the new facial tints, and when it : .s applied checks look like the petals of those pink-gold roses used at April weddings. With this the lips arc made a little deeper. Another new make-up consists of a drab powder, no colour on the checks, tlie lips scarlet, the eyes shaded with purpl : sh-brown powder. Eyebrows plucked to a narrow arched line and blacked. Yet one more advance in the complexion art is the distinction between artificial and daylight make-up. To be made-up in good taste for either, separate rouges and powders are necessary.

An indelible new crayon for the cheeks keeps their “blush” fresh the whole day, and there is an improved liquid lip rouge which will not come oIT during a meal. You may walk down Bond Street on a fine morning and note 50 women—• with “the faee of the moment” touched in—in black, white, and red. They may dress very much alike and look attractive in the distance (but disappointing in the near approach), yet one will stand out from the rest. She may not be as pretty as many, but it is she alone among the 50 who jaossosscs that subtle inst'nct which goes far beyond mere good looks and becomes a force.
