Here's a man who knows all about making up faces to the best advantage.
Jerry Fairbank, whose job in life is to make film stars' faces look prettier than they really are.
Patty Pictorial gives you a peep at him at work.
Perhaps you'll be able to pick up some useful hints.
Are your eyebrows too heavy like hers?
If so, a few must come out.
He must clean her face with cold cream before getting to work to apply any make-up.
This is the foundation of beauty and it's worth a lot of time.
On it depends everything else so it mustn't be skimped.
The cleaning is finished to his satisfaction.
Now to apply the foundation cream.
When the face is completely covered, the next step is to get to work on the eyebrows.
To give breadth, these must be drawn longer than they are naturally.
Now comes the most important point of all.
Jerry Fairbank says that a properly made-up mouth is more than half the battle.
Before finishing off the lips, the powder must be applied.
And this is soon done.
The foundation cream makes it cling closely so that it doesn't come off.
Now for a few final touches to the mouth.
And notice that he uses a brush, not a lipstick.
Now you see the final result.
After the make-up artist has finished with her, she looks and feels like a million dollars.
Try making up like this yourself and maybe you'll look like a film star too.
