Girls, your face is your fortune. You must make the most of it.
Every girls face tells a story.
It can be a good story.
Of character, intelligence .. and attractiveness.
Learn to use makeup sparingly and wisely, to bring out most appealingly - the real you.
These girls are going to begin their makeup.
And it begins with powder.
A good face powder should be fine and soft.
It is dusted on to a soft cotton pad and spread to cover a large area.
Gently pat the powder on to the skin, pressing a little.
Removing the cotton pads straight outwards.
Always use a powder that is of the same general tone as your skin.
Once you have covered your face with powder, pull the cotton pad - back on itself.
With the clean surface of the pad, dust off all the excess powder.
The movements of the pad are very similar to those used to apply the powder.
Marge has a number of skin blemishes.
Usually as the result of insufficient or improper washing.
Or improper diet!
She can minimize their appearance by using a medicated cover cream or a stick.
This cream or paste comes in different shades.
Of course she will select the one that is closest to her natural skin tone.
A little is applied with the tip of the finger.
Blend it so that the spot is not obvious.
and covered with powder.
But remember, plenty of washing, proper food and plenty of rest is the best medicine.
Even for prevention of blemishes.
Now, what shall we do about lips?
They are first outlined to the right shape.
The mastery of the use of a lip brush is of paramount importance
- in choosing an attractive lip line.
After the outline has been drawn with the lip brush, the rest of the lip is filled in.
Use a lipstick of a color that compliments the tone of your skin.
Patti, who is darker than Marge, uses a darker lipstick.
She dips a little on the end of her lip brush and begins to stroke in the outline.
She draws lightly from the corners to the center.
steadying her hand with her little finger resting against her chin.
Patti has found that her lips are a little too full for her face.
So her outline is not quite out to the natural edge of her lips.
Now she fills in the rest o her lips.
Before going on to her eyebrows, Patti uses a tweezer to get rid of a few stray eyebrow hairs.
She plucks only between the eyes and below the brow - never above.
The most beautiful eyebrows look the most natural and she uses an eyebrow pencil to emphasize the natural brow.
The shaping has been done by nature and the bit of plucking she has done.
Beginning from the inner corner of the eye, she sketches lightly outward.
and towards the tip of the ear - not the lobe!
The eyebrow brush helps to train the eyebrow and blends the pencil to achieve a more natural look.
By slightly shaping the eyebrows, great advantage can be taken of your face shape.
Because she is blonde, Marge needs a little more emphasis on her brows and does it.
But the manner in which she applies the pencil and later uses the brush - is just the same.
She brushes lightly from the center outwards towards the tip of the ear.
Especially for light haired girls, mascara gives the appearance of heavier lashes.
For this purpose - a brown mascara is best.
Always use colors that compliment your natural color.
Apply the mascara to the upper lashes only
using an upward sweep from the bottom of the lashes.
Now there's an attractive girl !
Not all of us are endowed with beautiful curly lashes.
But we can beat nature at her own game by using eyelash curlers.
You can do this either before or after applying mascara.
Just fit the curler under the lash, so that when you press,
your eyelashes are curled slightly by the pressure.
By this time your lipstick has set
so that with a piece of face tissue
folded twice to make a long strip
you can blot your lips.
Do this three or four times or until there is no longer any stain on the tissue.
Remember that good health is the basis for happiness and beauty.
This means good food for a well balanced diet.
plenty of rest
so that your face is not drawn, nor eyes puffy.
Plenty of good soap and water, so that your pores will be clean and your complexion at its best.
