CHERISH THE GLEAM
Get to cherish the gleam that a
blushing stick gives. A satiny,
young -making gleam that subtly
lights your • skin. Carry one in
your .handbag for touch-ups.
Nothing is more ageing than a
face drained of radiance.
If you were lost in a dark
tunnel, and saw a glimmer of
light ahead heralding the end of a
fearful journey, how would you
feel?
For many people who have
wandered through the dark tun-
nels of schizophrenia, the
Canadian Schizophrenia Founda-
tion offers hope of an end to
suffering.
FOR
AVOID TOO.DARK
DIPSTICKS.
True, deep tones are coming
back to replace the pale ones that
never did anything for anybody,
ever. But don't go Gory Red or
Dragon's Blood dark. Stick to the
rbse-reds with life and verve and
flattery. Older skins tend to sal-
lowness. A too -dark lipstick only
deadens them More; makes the
wearer look grimly calculating.
