♥[?]♥ Every time I put on my liquid foundation it ends up looking caked and dryed out. Then it ends up wearing off an hour later. Anyways to fix this ?

I see that you've already been told this, but I, too, believe Covergirl is the way to go. I use Covergirl, and I couldn't be more satisfied with it!! It's great, at a good price, and comes in 3958625869 shades, so you're BOUND to find one to fit your skin tone!

Here's a link of my exact product:
http://www.walgreens.com/store/pickcolor.jsp?CATID=100293&navAction=push&navCount=4&id=prod1354553&skuid=sku1354563

Now, that's kind of a bad example as far as the shades go. I use the "Natural Biege", but it's NOWHERE NEAR as dark as it is in the photo.

Here is a better link of the shades it offers:

♥[?]♥ So i've been with this boy on & off for about 2 years now...i think i am in love with him but idk like i still want other guys. What should i do?

Well, I know I'm not there to actually witness the two of you together, but if you make me guess, I say it's not love. Personally, I've always believed that if you "love" two, you don't "love" either one enough.. period. I just feel that if you really and truly are IN love with somebody, then you wouldn't WANT anyone else... because no one else in the WORLD would be able to compare to that person, and to what the two of you have together, ya know? But, that's just me talkin'...

As far as what you "should do": You've been on and off with this guy for two years; why? Why can't it just ever work out? Two years is a long time to try to work things out. Two years of your teenage years (assuming you're a teen?) is a humongous difference in maturity. Why not just give it one final romantic go with this guy, and then "move on", so to speak. Just because you might not romantically be involved doesn't mean you won't lose the friendship also, ya know? Again, I've always believe that if it's "meant to be", it WILL BE. So, there's something to think about. ;)

♥[?]♥ do guys know when a girl is there first kiss?

*K

Nope. They might assume so, but that's only an assumption until you confirm it.. It's not that big of a deal, though. You might be surprised, guys (all that I know, at least) love the whole "being their first" thing..

♥[?]♥ Heyy everyone!

It's Lauren again. I just thought of one thing I want. Books. I love to read. I love books about real life situations. Does anyone know any good books (and authors too!) about teenagers (male or female) dealing with relashionships or teenagers dealing with being raped/sexually harrassed?

Thanks Again!
-Lauren =)

Anything by Mary Downing Hahn, really. Particularly "Daphne's Book" and "Jellyfish". She's without a doubt the most remarkable writer I've ever come across. I *despise reading, personally.. so if an author can get me to *pick up a book to begin with, they must be great, but to have me NEVER BE ABLE TO PUT IT DOWN.. they must be superb! (:

♥[?]♥ Hi guys,
I was wondering if any of you knew any quotes that had to do with liking someone a lot, but they don't even like you. I also want some quotes that have to do with liking someone and the other person says they like you, but they don't even show it. If someone can, please let me know what some good quotes are. I'd really appreciate it! Thank you. :-)

♥[?]♥ Does anyone know any good quotes. They can be from songs or just really cute ones. They can be about anything. Like love, friendship etc.. Thanks

♥[?]♥ hey, well i like this guy.. ive liked him for a little over a year. when i first found out he liked me, it was through instant message..and we always used to talk on aim alot and stuff.. i hung out with him like 2 or 3 times.. talked on the phone with him and my friend who was good friends with him..and i considered him my friend. then he asked me out. and stupid me, i like freaked out and said no.. and i regret it to this day. we still talked online after that and stuff.. but now he has a girlfriend that he claims he "loves" and NEVER even talks to me anymore =[ but the thing is i'm REALLY shy..and i get all weird around guyss. so it would be weird just to like go up to him and start talking to him..i dont know what to do i really like him alott =[ any advice? thanks

I don't think it would be "weird" to go up and start talking to him, at all. Why should it? You can never have too many friends. And just because he has a girlfriend does not mean you have to keep your distance just because you happen to be a female. I just hope that you place yourself in this girl's shoes (and imagine a boyfriend you truly care about).. that way you don't go about this with the ill intentions of breaking them up. You KNOW you would not want someone trying to come between YOU and YOUR boyfriend, so why would you want to do that to another girl, ya know? But as far as friendship wise, it's fair game. Go for it. :)

♥[?]♥ If you had a choice would you get a BMW or Corvette?

I've been trying to get a BMW for months. I wouldn't want a Corvette if it were given to me!! ;)

♥[?]♥ Now, I've had myspace for quite a while, but I have no idea how to add a picture onto my layout. Perhaps you don't understand what I'm asking, so I'll give you an example. When you have the section, Who I Want to Meet, and add a picture of someone famous, how do you do that?

Thanks in advance.

If this image is one you found online, right click it, go to "PROPERTIES", and copy all of it's "ADDRESS(URL)". What you've just copied is the URL to the image.

Now, if this image is something on your computer, you need to HOST it. You "host" something by going to: http://www.photobucket.com and SIGNING UP for a FREE account.

Then the page will refresh, and you should see a new page with an option to click on "BROWSE". Next, search your computer for the picture(s), and click "SUBMIT". Then the page will refresh yet again. You will see all/any images you happen to have on the new screen. Simply find the picture you want, and copy the PROVIDED URL in the top white slot.

However you went about getting the URL to the image, insert the URL where I instruct you to within the following HTML code:

< img src="URL OF THE PICTURE HERE" >

Then you simply delete the TWO EMPTY spaces that separate the < and > from the rest of the code, make sense?

To get pictures to show up under "General" (or anything else you might want it under), simply take the new "IMG SRC" code and paste it in "GENERAL" box, on your "EDIT MY PROFILE" page.

I know it seems difficult, but I assure you that this is actually very easy. And with my step-by-step directions, you will find that this is really a piece of cake!

I have a MySpace, also, so if you're ever in need of additional assistance, know that you can always come to me. :D

♥[?]♥ Anyone know any good Rate-me-sites?

♥[?]♥ Wow! I just read your column and you said that you like opera. That's really cool! I don't see people around these days who like opera. When I was in Santa Fe, I was in a choir, and we sang some opera! Which is your favorite? I love the Magic Flute and Verdi's Macbeth. And of course the Marriage of Figaro. This sounds like a weird question, it's just that it's exciting that someone shares something in common with me.

OMAAAA!!! :D
To be honest, I'm not familiar with many productions. I've just heard various sound tracks and mixes my choir teacher put together.. =/ Still love all that I've heard, though. I really do get into it, and I've been thinking of digging deeper as of late..

♥[?]♥ howdy gorgeous. i know you're sick right about now but i (your darling friend william) have decided to try and lighten things up a bit so i'll ask you some sort of question, or leave you an inbox, or whatever. anyways i wanted to say that i love you and i care about you, and that your sickness doesn't just take a toll on you but on me as well, and it really makes me worry about you. because well you're too pretty to be sick, and too pretty to be hurting, but since you are i'll sit here and wait for you to feel better because it is my job to ensure your good health and well being, if not then who will? and i think i do a pretty good job of it lovey. i know you're asleep now but you'll read this soon enough and you'll know how much i care i hope. i love you mackenzie, and i sure hope you feel better soon angel of mine, love of my life, beauty of beauties. rest well darlin.

William, you are too cute! :) "you're too pretty to be sick," - that was my favorite part. ;) Thanks, Friend. I'll talk to you later tonight; no question about it! :D

♥[?]♥ do girls boobs hips or anthing in that matter grow when they have sex.

No. Puberty and pregnancy will do this to you, but not sex alone...

♥[?]♥ I have really dark under eye circles and I would really like to cover them up.. or get rid of them (I'm 14-female).
Is there anything I can do to get rid of them? I get about 8 hours of sleep a night.
But until I can get rid of them, how can I cover them up? I try my hardest with concealer and stuff.. but the color is just so different from the rest of face skin. Does anyone have any step-by-step way to maybe cover them up better?
THANKS

Well, getting an appropriate amount of sleep is an important thing, and be shore to drink plenty of water. Also, try applying cool cucumber slices or cool tea bags to the under-eye area, which helps to reduce swelling. I've also heard that placing a frozen spoon under your eye will minimize the dark circles. Personally, I've never done this, but I have seen it on movies, so you might as well give it a shot. To avoid drawing attention to your under-eye area, perhaps you should avoid the use of eye liner or mascara to your lower lashes. :D

♥[?]♥ Am I the only one in ADVICENATOR land that isn't a highschool student?
Every question that I read has to do with either a girl or boy in hs who has a relationship problem. I never see any adult questions. Does anyone know of any other sites like this that are more adult oriented?

I'm unaware of any other website in relation to Advicenators that is geared more towards "adults". There are over 10,000 columnists here on Advicenators, and the majority of younger columnists massively exceeds the seniors. I know the abundance of questions submitted from teenagers is painfully apparent, but believe it or not, adults submit aswell. Perhaps more often than you'd assume. I just hope you stick around long enough to find out for yourself.. [:

♥[?]♥ okay,well..this summer i got really..hard nipples and if you poke them they hurt.They pop out,there like darts! i havent had my period and no boobs yet so why are they popped out like that? 13/f does this mean when i get my period i will get boobs fast or something? pleasse help! rate 5s

I'm sure it was due to arousal or being cold.. :)

♥[?]♥ Mackenzie. This is really random, but for homeschooling, do you intend to go to a college? Which college? Is it possible?

It's possible. :) As for which college, I haven't truly decided. I've been conversing with University of Miami since I was 13. They look okay. It's a bit too early to make any concrete decisions, seeing as how I have no idea what I'll major in. If you read the paragraph a few questions down about my schooling, you should know how I feel about that. For right now I'm going to focus on completing high school. I can't lie; college has been on my mind pretty heavily over the past year. Funny you should ask this; I was planning on sitting down this evening and thumbing through some brochures and whatnot. Hopefully tonight will be a big eye-opener for me. And this question only streghtens my drive. Thank you. :)
