Can anyone tell me what shades of eyeshadow, blush, lipgloss/lipstick, mascara, lip liner and eye liner look good on me?

I know how to APPLY makeup, I just do not know what shades look good on me. I am fairskinned, with blond hair and blue eyes. I have full lips, and I wear glasses. My eyes are about average, and I always choose to accentuate my lips, so if using eyeliner would accentuate my eyes as well, then I won't bother with it.

I have searched all over the internet for information on how to properly find your shades, but none of it helped! Thank you soooo much!! (link)
fair skinned people with blue eyes should focus on bringing complementary colors to their eyes. So, if you have blue eyes you would want orange, right? Well orange is a little extreme, so look for bronzes and reddish browns and gold. Not too red, or you'll end up looking sick with allergies.
As for lipstick/gloss, fair skinned people should choose rose colored lip products or products with blue undertones. They won't be so extreme and work with the natural coolness of fair skin.


hello! i'm a 15 year old girl and i cut myself, not all the time, but just whenever. i don't even have to be really depressed to do it, just in the mood for it. i've been cutting since i was 14, and a bunch of my friends think it's gross. my problem is this: i can't find a reason to stop. it helps me with my problems, and i'm not trying to commit suicide (no wrists). the way i see it, i would rather cut than do drugs, drink or smoke, and cutting makes me happier. otherwise, i'm a good B-average student and athletcially involved. i write a lot. so why is cutting so bad? it's my personally choice, and it helps me. i just can't see the cons... (link)
The truth of the matter is, is that cutting is not helping you in any way. You says it helps you with your problems, but physically harming yourself to relieve some sort of pain you're feeling emotionally is not helping you. Those who cut themselves are usually not aiming to kill themselves anyhow. I'm no expert, but to me, it seems as if by cutting you are emotionally stunting yourself. Alcoholics drink to relieve any pain or sadness or unhappiness they feel. They don't want to feel emotional pain, but in a sense they are hurting themselves. They are not learning to deal with their problems in a safe, healthy way. Similar to people who cut, alcoholics and people who partake in heavy drug use cannot deal with the way they feel without having a quick fix. Cutting, drug use, and using alcohol to help you relieve problems are all things which deter a person from growing into a stable, assured, adult with high self-esteem. Unless a person can take their problems head on, they'll never learn to be happy...even if you think your cutting is doing that for you.


would you girlies recommend this really cheap priced BRAND?

there brushes are only a dollar!!!
e.l.f. is the brand. (link)
The elf brushes are a waste of your dollar. The only ones worth getting are the blush brushes and the basic eyeshadow one. The others are scratchy and just plain bad. Spend a little more money and get good quality brushes.

coastalscents.com

Thay have brilliant, pigmented, eyeshadow palettes and great brush sets. It's worth the extra little bit of money! Trust me!

Elf lipgloss, eyelash curler, blush, facial whip and a few others are ok, but not great.
If you have other questions about whether or not you should purchase a product or not go to

makeupalley.com

go to product reviews, type in the brand and name of the product and lots and lots of people give their reviews on the product.

hope i helped!


i hate exercising. i really do. what are ways to find and stay motivated and inspired to exercise? (link)
Ok this is really weird but read on if you want. I don't love to exercise or anything but what I do is ask my mom to drop me off a mile down the road. I take my wallet and the money inside and i bury it. (did i mention i really hate exercise?) I get back in the car with my mom, and she drives me home. I jump out, put on some really intense, loud scremo or rap music and run back to my money to get it hahaha. Maybe not the best way, but it motivates me well enough.


Me and my bestfriend really like each other. But we're not together. What are some songs that desrcribe this situation. Thanks in advace. (link)
next to you- jordin sparks


is there anyway i can make my fingers skinnier.
such as finger exersises or anything...
thanks =] (link)
Salt and fatty foods can make a person bloat in weird places. Maybe change your diet to a healthy, vegetable, natural based intake and see what happens. No finger exercises will help. it could be that you just have big fingers and that's that.


15/m i am very emoional when bad shit happens to me i blame my self like when people call me dumb and retarted i get so mad at myself that i cut myself last week i had to get stitches cuz i was pissed at my self, dose any one no a way i can calm down with out abouse
(link)
glad you're reaching out about this.

the truth of the matter is that you are not to blame for anything that other people do. Realize that they have huge insecurities and are trying to bring themselves up by putting you down. You're not dumb. I know that sucks so much, and it's not fun to hear when people are being demeaning. You've probably heard this before, but I can't stress enough how incredibly gross it is that some peers do that to you. Everybody, and i mean EVERYBODY is special, and I get that that sounds like some bullshit snow white cliche crap, but it's true.
First of all, count to twenty with your eyes closed, breathing deeply and holding a stress ball firmly if you need to. Hang out around a pet, read a book and especially an autobiography if you can. Autobiographies put things into perspective for someone who is confused or hurt. It helps us to realize that other people have real emotions like we do. It really does work. Go work out and run a mile or two to let off some steam. listen to uplifting music, or music that speaks to you in some way. practice an instrument, write in a journal. do anything that will put your mindset into a better place so that you may be able to evaluate the situation with a clear, perceptive, higher level than when you were severely upset.


hope i helped you. good luck. i know you can do it

I am a junior in high school and my parents told me that I should start looking at colleges. I am beginning to get interested in Wake Forest, but I've only looked at their website and that's it. If someone could give me a little more info about the college it would really help. Thanks. (link)

What is the best hair straightener? I don't mind if its really expensive. (link)
A GHD straightener.


In school im really shy and now that im starting high school i want to make some new friends but the problem is that i hate going up to people and talking to them, i feel awkward and out of place. It's like "hi" and then this long awkward silence, i get all intimidated and i don't know what to say or talk about. Can someone give me some starters on how to approach people and what to say. (link)
Let me be the first to tell you that EVERYONE IS nervous going into freshman year. Everyone. period.

Let me preface my answer by saying that a few friends of mine actually told me they were extremely upset their first couple of weeks of high school because they felt too nervous to talk to anyone, and they thought they wouldn't make friends. They didn't want to be judged or ridiculed. If you feel this way, don't be alarmed your first weeks of high school. It is perfectly normal to gravitate towards old friends before you make new ones. Too high of expectations will ruin your high school experience so only expect to encounter change.

High school is all about being genuine. Making friends is easiest if you give a nice compliment to someone if you're in the bathroom, or in a lunch line, or in class. You'll naturally make new friends through other old friends. Regardless of any movies you've seen, the most popular people are not nasty people.

Despite your experiences in middle school, high school is a time where people couldn't care less about who you hang out with. If you have friends and are nice and approachable, then you will have a good experience. If you constantly sweat the little things, worry about making friends, act strange because you don't know what to say, try to be popular, I promise you will be sorry.

High school is all about being yourself. Striking up conversation is as easy as a compliment, talking about a teacher you and a person share in common, asking about homework, relating to other people through common interests such as sports.



I was watching the best of Made (the show on MTV) and as the best trasformation, it showed this girl that wanted to be a beauty pageant and it just gave me a WOW reaction at the end.

I never watched that eposode of her being transformed but I know for sure that she NEVER had surgery and the transformation was much better then what celeberties goes through.

I just know that they gave her contacts, did her hair, and used make up on her. It make me beleive that there is no such thing is 'ugly', it's just that girls that are considered ugly are girls that don't know how to beatify themselves.

Does anyone know the name of the eposode of that so I can look it up on Youtube? If not, for those of you that actually watched that eposode, what did they do to her exactly to make her look so different but so beautiful? (link)
I know what you're talking about. The girl wore glasses, something like dungeon and dragons t-shirts, her name was kitty, dark brown hair, wanted to be a beauty queen.

I'm not exactly sure what it was called but I remember they gave her highlights and a cut to flatter her face, a hair dryer and flat iron, contacts, foundation, mascara, blush, new, girly clothes. The girl wasn't unfortunate looking to begin with, though. You could tell beneath all those t-shirts she was a pretty girl, but I had the same reaction.

i want to be able to go out with my friends like every other weekend but my parents wont let me, they make up excuses so i dont go. like 'oh your rooms not clean.' or 'no do this' or 'you have to watch ur brother tonight' they only let me go out like once a month with my friends.

how do i let them get me to go out more? (link)
Tell them you are planning to go out ahead of time (maybe a day or 2 in advance) and say "Is there anything you need me to do, because I will gladly do them, but I just need a little notice. I want to go out with my friends tomorrow, and I just want to have everything finished so I don't have to worry about it."

Do extra, little chores. Offer to watch your brother on days that you aren't planning to go out, so they can't guilt you into it.

Just be mature, cover all of your bases in advance, and explain that it means a lot to you that you be able to spend time with your friends.

Hope i helped


I need an analogy for parts of the cell. There are a couple I really need. They are cytoskeleton, Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum, and Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum. These are the three I really really need. Any others will work too. Thanks for your help!!! (link)

i'm 15 and, sadly, i have big sweating problem. even if its not hot out and i'm not exercising i'll end up with huge sweat circles under my arms and it's extremely embarassing. i tried using antiperspirant but it doesn't even work and idk why. maybe i'm not using a good brand? idk.

help? (link)
use this:

http://www.certaindri.com/

it is AMAZING. No contest. I had the same thing, I use it at night about 2-3 times a week, and I do not sweat. However, sweating is a way to rid your body of bad things, so I would not advise using it a lot.

You can find it at CVS and other drugstores.

hope i helped.


Hi, my name's Manda, I'm 17 and female. Here's my question: For the last three days now, only the right side of my throat has been hurting, it feels like my tonsil area but I'm really not sure. I was just wondering what it could be considering the fact that my throat hurts only on one side. It's not an excruciating pain or anything but everytime I swallow (saliva, not food), I just get this little hurting sensation. All advice is welcome, thank you! (link)
I had a very similar thing happen to me about a month ago. One side of my throat hurt badly when I swallowed, so i went to the doctor's office. They told me I had three large canker sore-like things at the back of my throat. It was a virus, so antibiotics would not help me. He advised me to get chloraseptic spray and chloraseptic cough drops. It numbed it right up. For about a week I did the chloraseptic and it cleared up. Even if it isn't the virus canker sore thing, I would get chloraseptic. It helps a ton becuase sore throats are a killer.

hope I helped. Get better soon


whose sings the pop version of waht hurts the most? (link)
