You and Your Beauty: How Will You Make Up This Winter?

انت وجمالك: كيف تتزينين هذا الشتاء؟

How will you make up this winter?

Adornment is 'natural.' The best solution is to adorn yourself enough without the artifice showing. The rule for the year 1958 is that makeup should be: transparent, smooth, and evenly spread.

If you are blonde — first use a ... cream, without rouge at the edges, for this rouge ... the mingling of the skin's redness with the powder. As for the ... cheeks and the mouth, make each of them joyful, beautiful, and warm: ... the lips with a quiet red, and add a faint shadow around the eyelids, so that your smile shows radiant. Nothing then remains but to lend your face the lights of your spirit.

If you are brunette — use powder on the face. But take care: it is not advisable to use the colors the blondes use; rather you must choose the golden tone for your complexion, orange lipstick, and a grayish shadow around your eyelids.

Beware, Madam. There is one makeup for the day and another for the evening. It is not advisable to paint the lashes, rouge the cheeks, draw the eyebrows, and enlarge the eyes with kohl at sunrise, and then board a tram — on the excuse that you work all day and stay out in the evening, so that you have no time to get ready except in the morning.

That is true; but everything you need for the evening you can put in your handbag, while your daytime adornment is limited to a simple red on the lips.

One last piece of advice remains: do not try to change your face — only to arouse admiration.
