Joan Bennett at her desk

"I work at a desk in a small study.  I really need all those pencils.  The spikes hold reference notes, the phones have been known to all ring at one time."

Using a lipstick pencil

"With elbow braced and hand steadied by little finger on the chin, 'brush' your lips on.  You can learn how and the smooth, lasting results make it worth while.  It's even patriotic because you can use all of your lipstick."

 

Incidentally, Joan has been credited with "creating" the lipstick brush, or at least creating widespread use of a brush to apply lipstick, thanks to this book.

"Frankly, I hate the word 'posture.'  But we must learn to stand, sit and walk in balance.  For screen and volunteer duties, I had to learn to make my spine do its share of work; I, too, look dreadful when I slump."  Sure, Joan-----just like you, too, looked dreadful without makeup.

Relaxing

"Here's a quick pick-up before an evening date.  After bath, stretch out with lotion-soaked pads on eyes.  Completely relax for ten minutes."
