Make-up styles are just as varied as clothes styles, and just as you change your clothes for sport, the theatre or ball-room, so should you also change the colours and the method of application of your make-up.
Make-up, like everything else, has its place, and the make-up which is used on the tennis court is quite out of place indoors.
A simple rule to remember is, the closer you are to nature, the more natural your make-up should be.
If you are playing tennis your make-up should be as natural as possible, but if you are going to a theatre or ballroom you are then entitled to be extra colourful and glamorous, A simple ruling on the subject, and one which can be easily memorized, "Jis as follo or dancing and dining be as glamorous as possible, for the theatre be slightly more natural, and for office and out-of-doors be as natural as possible, By following these simple rules it means that you are then allowed to blossom into full brilliance at night, and, as artificial, light calls for a heavy make-up, you will be able to hide many small imperfections which are noticeable during the daytime, and develop into a glamorous beauty as soon as the lights are shaded.
Your evening make-up should begin with a thorough skin cleansing and toning. Your ordinary face creams and lotions will suffice for this purpose, although, if you are in a great hurry and the face feels hot, tired, and dirty, you can give it a quick wipe over with diluted eau de cologne which will also form an excellent powder base. heavier-based powder should be used. The powder should first be applied with a small piece of cotton wool and finally smoothed and blended with a light swansdown puff for blonde, fair skins, or a lambswool puff on oily skins, The shade of powder used should be of a lighter shade than that which is, worn during the day. Day powders have the unhappy habit of appearing dull and heavy under artificial light.
