Awake! October 8, 1947. p 19
Two of the most misleading cosmetic ideas are the fads of plucking the eyebrows and painting darkly the fingernails. The girl that pulls out her eyebrows makes herself look like a plucked chicken, which is anything but beautiful. From an artist's viewpoint eyebrows give personality to an individual. Heavy eyebrows add strength to one's personality; remove them and one looks like a lifeless wax doll. Painting the fingernails blood red, in contrast with using a natural or light-pink polish if desired, also defeats the purpose to beautify. A graceful hand is one that looks long and slender with tapering fingers, but when the ends of the fingers are heavily darkened they look chopped off, short, stubby and clumsy. Any student of real art will tell you that this is so, but don't expect the commercialists that are selling millions of dollars worth of red nail polish to tell you these simple truths.
