Summary: This editorial explores the art of makeup, drawing insights from Hollywood star Pola Negri. It emphasizes the importance of restraint in makeup application to achieve a natural look.

Do You Know How to Apply Makeup?

(Original Title: 你懂得化妆吗?)

Pola Negri, a renowned Hollywood star known for her exceptional makeup skills, shared valuable advice with her friend. She emphasized, ‘When applying makeup, always remember your individuality.’ Negri, herself an icon of beauty, often commented on facial makeup, advising, ‘Ladies, sometimes it’s best not to use foundation at all because even the most expensive brands can damage your skin.’ The acclaimed beauty specialist, Max Factor, also warns, ‘The worst makeup a woman can wear is one that lacks self-awareness.’ Negri confidently accentuates her naturally thick eyebrows but ensures they are carefully styled. To stand out, be aware of the situation and adjust your makeup accordingly.
