How You Can
Shine at Night
JANE WILSON: Glamorous.
By ALICIA HART
NEA Staff Writer
Crush a handful of gold, silver
or colored sequins into finely
ground particles and sprinkle
these over your evening coiffure.
Make shine stay put by giving
your hair-do a once-ovcr-lightly
with lacquer.
Tricks like this one can give
you a magic lease on glamor after
dark, says radio's Jane Wilson,
piquant singer on Fred Waring's
show, who pulls others out of her
sleeve. To achieve a more daz
zling effect with her eye-shadow,
Jane puts on color with an
orange stick in a pencil line only
along the edge of her lids.
After penciling her brows, she
dips an orange slick into olive
oil and draws it through the cen
ter of her brows. This highlights
brows and lodges a nice touch of
luster above the eyes.
