Diary of a Beauty Authority

By HELENA RUBENSTEIN (This week the noted beauty expert explains how to achieve striking beauty by use of individualistic coiffure.) New York, Dec. 25—For many long years I have advocated individuality and I have begged and even compelled women who came to me to express their own type of loveliness, to emphasize even their imperfect features. Many of them were young aspiring movie and stage actresses who later became famous. Today, it is gratifying to me to see that "un-classic" beauty is coming more and more into its own. No longer is America worshipping at the feet of the young, expressionless pretty-pretty face. It is the woman of forty—even fifty—with the courage to dare in her looks and in her clothes, who holds the center of attraction. Last week I had an opportunity again to prove my theory that un-classic beauty is far more striking than stereotyped prettiness. There is a lesson for every woman in this experience. Nine of the most famous portraits of women were collected in New York for a charity exhibit to be called "Woman's Crowning Glory", and I was approached by the committee of society women sponsoring the exhibit to interpret the historic coiffures of the portraits in modern adaptations. Nine of the socialites offered themselves as subjects, and as I looked at them, all of them with their hair arranged prettily, without distinction, around their faces, I accepted at once. The portraits which were to serve as the inspirations for the 'living portraits' were by Rubens, Rembrandt, Sir Joshua Reynolds, Largilliere, Bronzino, Sargent, Modigliani, Derain and Artemisia Gentileschi. They were portraits of famous women, famous beauties in their day. No one of them could actually be called pretty; indeed, in each case, the master artist has emphasized the peculiarities of the women—the peculiar charm! I discussed my ideas with Mr. Michel of my Hair Salon, who executed the coiffures, but not one of the women knew what would be done to them until the opening day of the exhibit. That morning they all came to the Salon for their "portrait" coiffures and make-up, and each woman, according to the contour of her face, was assigned to represent one of the portraits. The result was sensational! One of the women, whom you would never at first glance call a ravishing beauty, turned out so striking that her own husband, who came to the exhibit, did not recognize her, and friends who came stayed to stare until she was globally embarrassed. Ordinarily, she wears her hair parted down the middle. Her cheek and jaw bones, according to standards, are much too pronounced, her face too long. But the coiffure she was given emphasized these features even more. Representing Modigliani's painting of Madame Hebuterne, her hair was drawn up tightly from the face, neck and sides, and the hair on top arranged in one large roll, held in place with a circlet of jewels, then her cheek bones were shaded with a mauresque make-up film to make them even more prominent. Her classic, oval face, was unquestionable, dramatic, individual beauty. At the exhibit, a girl of eighteen came up to me with a look of rapture on her face, full of wonder at the sight of her mother. "My mother", she told me, "is beautiful!" She was wearing a very simple and classic coiffure patterned after the portrait of Eleonore of Toscana, by Angelo Bronzino. Her hair was parted in the center (something she had never dared try) and combed back off the forehead very smoothly. In the back the hair was drawn down sleekly into one large reverse curl. Then a softer note was added by arranging short sculptured curls over each temple. Finally the hair was covered with a pearl-studded znood. It took considerable urging to persuade another "portrait sitter" to have bangs cut, necessary to cut out the high-pompadour coiffure fashioned from Rubens' painting of Helena Fourment. But she was not sorry afterwards. For this hair-do, the hair was parted in the center line, with an arrangement of short straight bangs and deep waves on the sides. In the back two large curls were placed high with one large reverse curl on the neck. Her already highly arched eyebrows were emphasized with black eyebrow pencil, her already too full lips made still fuller and more luscious with a rich red ruben lipstick. Whether or not you are a potential subject for a Rubens or a Rembrandt or a Sargent—you do have the potentialities for individual beauty. Remember that you can be beautiful, even though every feature you have is imperfect. You can have a flawless skin. You can put sparkle into your eyes. You can achieve a lithe, graceful figure and hands that are soft and lovely. Make your canvas, size your own personal beauty, yes, your own imperfections, in your make-up, your coiffure, your clothes. Be your own beautiful self!

High fashion is the styling of this crepe dinner gown with the all red back, shoulders and sleeves and solid black front. A red crepe belt, heavily encrusted with gold braid and jewels is its only ornamentation.

Lame and net are combined in a gay party frock especially designed for Ginny Simms by Edward Stevenson. She'll wear it New Year's Eve, no doubt. Notice how the gold basque bodice with its square neckline is trimmed with jeweled buttons, which are repeated on the wide lame band of the diaphanous creamy net skirt.
