Beauty Begins In The Boudoir

We all know that a daily shower is a “must” for the girl who would be truly beautiful. Next, comes dainty lingerie—which is a positive obsession with Natalie Wood. Lingerie, too, should come in for a daily “showering”. Then, what’s more luxurious than a liberal dousing with any good toilet water for that tingling, head-to-foot feeling of “coming to life”? With those things out of the way, it’s time to concentrate on-beauty: foundation creams, astringents, and so on. When it comes to the application of make-up, remember, too little is always far better than too much.

Like most Hollywood stars, Natalie uses a brush to get a smooth outline when applying lipstick. She’s careful to avoid an exaggerated lipline.

Outline your eves with a very, very thin pencil in any color you feel accentuates the color of your eyes. Keep the line close to your eyelashes

Eyebrows should not be plucked or shaved to pencil-thinness. They add character to your face, so it’s best to pluck them out one by careful one

Mascara is good for practically everyone. There are all sorts of tricks, including vaseline, then powder, then mascara, to make lashes thicker
