NEW PARIS MAKE-UP.

11 A “MATCHED’’ COMPLEXION. Every new season brings some :liuu o e in maui-up lasliion, just as it jr,n c .> ciunsi., iii the world of dress. Now we iiuiu, in the iti.est news Hom i.jiuan, ,na, ui.uve-up i,as m o.uic mure .lian ever glamorous lor evening wear, Anne il is rail.er mure simple and -latural in the uay lime tlian it was tusi \ cur. Tins is certainly as it should be. Exu.ic en'ecls n\ ariilicial iigni can ue fascinating' and rather amusing, liowsver unnatural; bul good tasie must ilways dictate a sparing ami simple use of cosmelics when one is out of lours in Hie work-a-day world. The great tiling winch modern make-up experts u«ve uncovered is that the ciever woman must nut try Lu hide her siiurtcuimngs, out by skilful use ol cosmetics she must learn Lu make a veritue of a colourless skill or eyes too light in hue. Al one lime a girl with a sallow complexion used rouge and pink powder to conceal the fact., and so she became merely nunucscripl. Not so to-day.

Now, suppose yuu belong to that olive type, with nothing special in the way of features, and dark, straight nair. Then cultivate distinction, says Paris, and be really olive —or rather more so. Avoid rouge altogether, and use one of the new Ivory powders with a tinge of green in it. Let your lipstick be a Chinese red and your eye shadow moss green. Achieve Distinction. ( This is your evening make-up, ol course. A rattier severe hairdressing styie should go with it, and so yuu cannot fail to achieve tlis line non. Remember always that eye shadow is Hie most dangerous cosmetic of all. Dangerous, because if you have noi taste and skill hi the choosing and applying of it you can just as easily spoil your appearance as improve it. Uirls with hollow eyes will oiten look quite haggard if a shading of blue oi green is -used on the hds. Dark eye siiadings make the eyes recede slit, luriher. Paris has decreed the must lascinating eye shadow is a family glistening silver, which is very lovely lor blue or light grey eyes. Hit powder to be used with it is a peach blossom tone, and the rouge is one ol Hie transparent blush-rose eblourings, with, a lipstick of a deeper shade. 11 you wisa to be really up to date touch Hie lashes with a midnight blue mas cara to complete Hie eifect. To-daj tlie markers of cosmetics employ colour artists. They have gone to Nature for tones of mist blue, moss, and pale-sky to accentuate Hie beauty of beauty’s eyes. For the woman ol mature loveliness, witli while hair, there is an amethyst hue like 8 shadow on a hillside.

So many girls make the mistake ol using a smart make-up and then being careless about some detail ol toilet or hairdressing, only perfect glooming can make an elaborate makeup look right. For instance, what can more sureij destroy Hu effect of wellchosen cosmetics than a sunburnt triangle at the base of the throat, or a neck in need of a neck trim? Also, ii you are going to use mascara ot) eyebrows you must see that any straggling hairs are tidied up with the pluckers, especially Htose hairs between the brows which one so often sees on dark girls. The removal of just half a dozen of these, from the inner corner of each eyebrow, can often work wonders in making the eyes look wider apart, and giving them a youthful, candid expression. Variety of Powders. In making-up do not give more attention to one part of your face than the other. 4 Foreheads are often seriously neglected, and it is more unlovely to see a bland, shining forehead in quite a different tone from the nose and chin. The clever young Parisian of to-day does not choose one powder, lipstick, and rouge, and use it week in, week out. She has half a dozen of each always handy, and varies them according to the colour of the frock she is going to wear. This may sound expensive, but it Is not really so. There is, of course, the initial outlay, nul if you have six in use, each one lasts just six times as long.
