PAGE SIX THE ECHO MARCH, Good Make-Up Is A Morale-Builder Bibs For Infants Can Be Made Easily Ever notice how much brighter the world looks, and how much more capable you feel, as you pro gress with putting on your make up? Maybe you feel—and look— pretty low as you sit down before your mirror preparatory to putting on your “face.” But as you smoothe on a tinted foundation, press on a delicately - colorful face powder, wield the brave banner of lipstick . . . well sir, life begins to pick up amazingly! Nothing is as bad as it seems . . . when you look as pretty as you can in the right make-up. So, aside from the real protec tive benefits choose make-up to glorify your own beauty, and lift your spirits. First requisite of a lovely, last ing make-up is an immaculately clean skin. After cleansing with soap and water, or the cleanser best suited to your skin, follow with skin freshner for a clean glowing refreshed look and feeling. Next, the proper foundation. The right foundation ... and the right shade of foundation, the same shade as your face powder, cor rectly applied ... is the secret of a well-groomed look. To apply, dot on each finger tip, and “tipple’ it lightly over the entire face, throat and neck, be sure to bring it well up under the eyes and around the mouth. Now, quickly blend the founda tion smoothly and evenly over the entire surface of the face and throat. For a soft glow of color on the cheeks, touch the high area where natural color most often appears with a tiny bit of cream rouge. Blend out and down, making sure there is no line of demarcation. Next, your face powder. Always select a shade the tone of your natural skin —never lighter. You can use a shade darker than your skin if you like, but a light powder over a dark skin gives an aged effect. With a clean puff . . . em phasis on clean . . . gently press the powder on your skin, and be sure you have plenty of powder on the puff. Press over entire face, beginning at the chin. Let powder “set” for a minute. Then, with the other side of the puff, brush off excess powder. Never rub powder over the skin . . . always press it on. Now for final touches. Brush powder from brows, (and lightly pencil first with a brown pencil and then with a black to get a natural look. Mascara the lashes with a moist brush lightly rubbed over mascara, applying up and out on lashes.) Behold! Your mirror shows you a face that seems years younger in appearance . . . you feel ever so much better, ready to face with confidence and courage whatever the day may bring. And what’s more, your fresh pretty make-up will help to protect your skin against the dirt and grime of the day, as well as affording a shield against the elements.
