APPLY POWDERS WITH CARE

Much Harm May Be Done to the Skin If It Is Laid On Too Lavishly. : Many women whose complexion is blotchy, red and unclean looking, can trace the source of their trouble to a superabundance of powder. Even the best, purest powders on the market will clog the skin pores, if applied too heavily a.nd often. Powder was not meant to cover/the face so it looks as if the flour barret had been visited head first. It was intended as a means of removing the shine from the skin. Is there anything a more disgusting sight than a woman with her chin and nose white with powder? It seems that the women who affect the “headlight powder system” have the largest noses, the homeliest chins. Of course, the powder only focuses attention on these features. The tint of the powder used must depend on the coloring of the user. Blondes must use one color, brunettes another, and according to the degree of fairness or darkness. Also for evening use there are certain shades of powder which are much more becoming than the tints most attractive in the daylight.
