THE OVAL FACED GIRL – 1940s makeup and hair secrets.
 |
Do………
Do retain the oval outline in your hair style. Keep it simple with a center parting, if you like it that way. Draw the hair back from your forehead instead of having it down over your brow. Keep your hair rather full and soft at the cheekbones. This softens the facial outline. Do rouge the center of the cheek blending it up over the cheek bone toward the temple and carrying it lightly up under the eye especially if you have dark circles. This will help disguise them.
Do make up the mouth full and follow its natural line. Try to attain the full curve of the mouth.

Don’t…..
Don’t accentuate the width of the cheek bones by using a close drawn hair line.
Don’t apply your rouge in a circle or a dab. The rouge should not come too close to the nose because the perfect oval face needs no contour corrections. You may omit rouge entirely if your hair and eyes are dark. Don’t make your eyebrows too thin, too square, or too heavy and don’t start your eyebrows too far back from your nose. Don’t affect a “cupids bow” or “rosebud” mouth.
