RARE 1927 Pompeian Co. YOUR TYPE OF BEAUTY~What is it ? Small Booklet~de Cordet

Description

Extremely
rare little booklet made by The Pompeian Company in l927, when they were still on Fifth Avenue New York.
Approximately
a year later the company was sold to the Colgate company, and were not on Fifth Avenue any longer. This little booklet is called Your Type of Beauty What is it? The first three pages are beauty advice by the then world
renowned
beauty expert , Madame Jeannette de Cordet.
You then have 12 pages of different types of beauties based on their hair color and skin color...Example: The Venetian Blonde: Artists know this type well. We see her occasionally in America. She is the
decedent
of Italian beauties of long ago. Her skin is smooth, like finely woven satin, soft as the petals of a pansy. Then, with breath taking contrast, her hair is a rich, living gold. No faded
yellow
here, but the sort of yellow that poets have written of as a sheaf of yellow wheat. Her lips are a rich warm red, there is no color in her cheeks. For her (Rachel Pompeian
Beauty
Powder
with Oriental tint of Bloom)
Next we have 2 pages of face shapes, then two pages
advertising
their day cream, night cream and lip stick. The last two pages are on mixing shades of powder and the color tones of Pompeian bloom.
We've found this booklet copied for prosperity on a website called "cosemticsandskin.com. It's the only one we've come across besides this one.
Please see all pictures, as they are also part of the description. Measures approx 4  3/4" tall and 3" wide .
