HOLLYWOOD - As I watched
Vivian Blaine at work on the “Guys
and Dolls" set at MGM, I thought
how much lovelier she looks now
than when she first came to Holly-
wood.
Later in her dressing room, I had
an opportunity to ask her what she
had done to herself.
“Just one little change has made
an the difference, Lydia,” she told
me. “Changing my eyebrows is re-
sponsible for the transformation It
has made my eyes my most im-
portant feature. They are wider
and have more definition.
■"My eyebrows used to grow too
close to my eyes and in a straight
line. A photographer friend of mine
advised me to shave them off and
foolishly I did it. But I didn't like
the effect because it looked too
artificial. However, it did give me
an opportunity to fool around with
them and by experimenting, a
makeup man and I hit upon using
half of my real brow, the part
nearest my note, and pencilling in
the rest.”
. Vivian has learned to do this so
skillfully that even the closest scru-
tiny did not reveal where the nat-
ural brows ended and the pen-
cilled ones began.
"It's important to find-a “color
ouilll
pencil that is natural looking and
matches your own hair tone,” Viv-
ian explained “There are so
many different shades of brown.
Some were too red for me and
others too dark. To achieve a nat-
ural effect, you must have a sharp
point so your eyebrow pencil so
that the tiny strokes won't smear.
Every once in a while I see a
woman who has taken a short cut
and drawn her eyebrows on in a
perfectly straight line. This invar
iably gives s woman that hard
look, no matter how young she
may be."
Vivian has the much-envied
peaches and cream type of skin
with s shiny quality to it
“I think the secret of s good
complexion,” she confided “is
learning how to keep it clean.
"I feel that a turkish towel does
a better job than tissue and I like
the new creams that are soluble
in water so that you can rinse
them off. There's nothing like wa-
ter to make your skin feel clean.
“For natural color I prefer liq-
uid rouge. It never streaks and it
blends in smoothly and easily with
almost any kind of foundation. If
you can't apply rouge so that it
looks natural, you may as well just
skip it. I can't think of anything
more unattractive than obviously
rouged cheeks,” Vivian said in
parting.
If eyebrows are your problem
try Vivian's suggestions. But if you
have other facial faults and
would like to correct them with
make-up, you'll want a copy of
leaflet M-27, “The Art of Make-
EYEBROWS—Changing eyebrow
line helped to change Vivian
Blaine's whole appearance, the
star of MGM's “Guys and Dolls "
tells Lydia Lane in an exclusive
interview.
