the state of your hair.
Do not leave the purchase of a compact until you are passing a shop window, glance at the reflection of what appears to be a shuffling tramp that has never met a brush before, tooth or hair, then realise with sinking reality its your own image that has caught your eye. It’s easy to plummet to these levels with all the other demands on our time, but really a few seconds checking the person we are presenting to others a few times a day is not going to stop your stellar career rise or harm the well being of your children. Only a few decades ago owning a compact was de rigeur. A
surreptitious glance down into the mirror at the end of a meal was all it took to not spend the afternoon with pepper stuck between your two front teeth. Men gave women compacts as presents so highly prized were they and having one with your initials engraved on the front or some other embellishment was a thing to show off to your girl friends. Compacts can be found that are double sided
mirror only or contain a pressed or loose powder. Loose powder is quite old fashioned now and it takes a practised hand to apply it successfully so, if you do use it, this is best used at home where you can deal with any fall out on your clothes. If you have the pressed powder in a translucent formula you can dab at your nose and any other shiny places on your face at the same time as checking on your teeth. Apply by using firm pressure one area at a time without massaging or rubbing the face with the applicator. Finish with downward strokes to remove any excess powder.
Translucent
lucidity powders also tone down fine lines and wrinkles without adding any colour so your compact becomes a multi purpose tool. Wash the sponge applicator frequently to prevent build up of bacteria that you may then transfer to your face. As for the hair, make sure you carry a comb or
brush. You can buy small combs and brushes that are very pretty and fit in your bag without adding any weight. Combs have been around for thousands of years, and were probably man’s first grooming tool. Interesting that after we stood up and walked the thing that worried us the most was our hair! Combs started out being made of bone or wood.

Checking your teeth in a mirror
Tortoiseshell and ivory became popular materials later, staying that way until animal rights meant that the use of plastic became wide spread. The teeth on a comb are called Combdrumbs and it’s the size and spacing of these that will determine what hair type the comb is used on.
after every time a morsel of food has passed your lips is something that should be taken up fairly early on. Ditto for the state of your hair.
The back of your head is what
everyone sees as you walk away full of confidence that you have made a good impression. It’s easy to muss up your hair by leaning back against a chair or car seat and be totally unaware of the fact you look like you spent the night in a hedge. Get used to passing a comb through the tangle each time you visit the Ladies or are
stuck in traffic. A woman’s arsenal should include these essential items and if you can find beautiful ones to carry about, then all the better for your own enjoyment. The maxim of only having things in your house that are beautiful or practical applies equally to the contents of your handbag.
