about

advice

has anyone ever tried sheer cover or bare minerals? do they work good? and which one is better? is it worth the money? thanks

I have tried Bare Minerals. My friend has it and I think that it works great. It doesn't make your face feel like you have tons of make up on and it covers up really good. It is worth the money.

my bf of about 5 months broke up with me about 2 weeks ago.... and recent things have happened between us that have i think stressed us both out big time... and i think they're my fault. and i still want to be friends with him and i think he does... or used to idk. ANYWAY: my question is do you think im being the annoying "clingy ex girlfriend" and if so how can stop being clingy...but still be friends with him... if that makes any sence at all...

thanks sooo much!

You're not being "clingy" or anything but if just means you care about the relationship. If you talk to him just tell him you want to be friends and if he is up for that. If not, don't bother trying anymore. Just don't keep asking him to be friends but have a talk with him about it and see how he feels.

Ok I know I posted this question before, but a lot of people couldn't see the picture so I'm going to post a link that works. This is a picture of my friend. She's tried to commit suicide soo many times because she says shes ugly. She hates her eyes because she says they're too small. I think shes beautiful but she always has something to pick on about her body. Here's a picture of her, I need to know if she's really pretty or if her being ugly is the truth. http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=viewImage&friendID=21583599&imageID=983295681&MyToken=9888527e-fe1d-47c8-8106-7ad1ea6189c6 What could I give her advice on to do to give her a new look so she can feel pretty like hair, make up, and anything else. I don't want her to die. She tells me that I'm the only one that can help her. Is she pretty and what could be changed to make her more attractive before she tries to kill her self again??

Asking us if she's pretty isn't the best thing. People have different opinions and my opinion is that she's not ugly. I personaly don't belive that people should be judged by their looks and she is taking it too far. If she has tried to commit suicide soo many times, how come you never told anyone? I mean she's your friend and all but why haven't you ever tried to get her some help? The next time she starts to say she wants to kill herself, you need to tell an adult. If she find out you told she might be mad, but it's for her own good and it's very serious. She doesn't really need a new look, but you guys could try doing something fun together like giving each other make overs. Maybe she should get a new hair cut, add a bit of make up.. or anything that will make her feel better about herself. Have a serious talk with her and just tell her that she's beautiful and that everyone loves her for who she is. Make her feel better by doing anything. Do things that make her happy. Suicide isn't funny and it's not just a word that she should be just throwing around. I don't know if she is dead serious about it or if she's just saying that because she feels bad. Eather way, it's no jake. You should tell someone because that might be the only thing that could help her.

I am f/13 and I know I'm young tons of ppl told me that but I want to have a long term relationship with one of my best friends who is 11- he's in 6th grade but his birthday is late in the year so it kinda ruins it but my mom thinks he's to young for me- but my BFF who is his sister say go for it and I've known her all my life she would never lie to me- nethier would he-and my stepdad thinks hes at a good age to but I want to know what you think- ty in advance

He's only 2 years younger and if you both like each other, age shouldn't matter. Other people around you might make a big deal about it and might not think it's right, but if you and him do and if you're willing to make it work, then that's all that should matter. Your mom is only trying to look out for you and she is giving you her opinion. There isn't a really big age difference anyways. So, whatever you feel is right, go for it.

I just moved and I am going to a new school and I don't know anyone. I live in a neigborhood called Lake Park and i would like to meet someone before school starts back. Can someone give me advice on meeting new people?

Not to sound cocky, but all you need to do is be yourself. When you go to school just be friendly to people and introduce yourself. Join after school activities and you will meet new friends there. Don't try to be someone you're not because people will notice that. Don't try to fit in and just have fun.

If a girl is beautiful , and she has pimples does that make her ugly//less attractive? Haha I was just wondering..

No. Pimples are normal and a lot of people get them. They can go away.

I'm really bored. I wonder why other people aren't as bored as me. Please tell me everything you did for one day to week.
Thank you.

I'm usually with my friends the whole time and last night we went to the movies. It was kinda lame but yeah lol. Then me and my friend slept over my friends house. We exercised, haha. =] If you're bored just hang out with your friends. No matter what you do just have fun. If your friends are busy then do something that will keep you busy. I clean when I'm bored. I also exercise because I have nothing else to do. Talk on the phone, draw. Enjoy the rest of the summer.

hey i have the same nose, eyes, and kinna face as you. Im wondering will u help me with my makeup? my sn is TheReasonIsLov3

I already seen your picture and you don't even need a lot of make up at all. I'm not sure if you use foundation.


First step is usually the face. Wash your face before putting any make up on. Before putting on foundation, you can put a little bit of face lotion on so your skin isn't dry and it's easier to apply the foundation. That's what I do. Dab just a little bit on your forhead, cheecks, eye lids and chin. You can use a foundation brush or a sponge. If you don't have eather, use your fingers but make sure you don't leave a line and it's all natrual looking. You can use concealer to cover up any imperfections that you might think you have.


After your foundation is on, use powder. Most people don't use it because they think it drys out their skin but it's not true. Use it all over your face and your eye lids as well. It will be easier to apply blush, bronzer and eye make up on and it also makes your make up last longer because it hold everything in.


Bronser and blush. If you want, you can put on a little bit of bronzer on your cheecks. It will make your skin look a bit tanner. Then use blush. Use a natrual color. Whatever you like and apply is on the apples of your cheecks.


Eye make up is important. You don't need a lot. The way I do my eye make up is I always use different colors and I play around with them. I don't use colors that go with my eye color or skin or hair. I usually go with colors that match my outfit or what I feel like wearing. First, make sure you have a bit of foundation and powder on your eye lids. It will make your eye shadow last longer. Apply your base color first. Witch usually are light colors. Take a darker color and apply it on the crease on your eye. Apply mascara on your top lashes and just a little bit on your bottom lashes. You can use eye liner so if you do, go with dark brown. Not black. I don't even use eye liner though. I use dark brown eye shadow instead and it looks a lot better.


Lips. If you like lip gloss, lip stick, lip chap. Use it. :]

I know you probably get ALOT of questions like this.. and I've tried just about everything, and I cannot get it right, and I need help desperatly, lol. Ok, I cannot get layouts for my advice column. I've went to Xanga layouts and everything, and I cannot figure out how to make it show up on my column. Please help!

First of all, you can't get layouts for your advice column. If you go to Column Settings there are 4 layout types that you can chose from. Second, xanga layouts don't work. Of course. I get my backgrounds from them. You save any background that you want. Go to photobucket.com or tinypic.com and upload it. Copy the URL code. Then, go to Column Settings again and paste the URL code where it says too. Then just find some cute colors and you'll have a cute column.

could you give me some ideas on what to wear the first day of school? i cant think of any cute ideas :\. ( i dont wear skirts & im kinda chubbyy. ) thanks ♥

Well, what do you normally wear & what's your style? I'm guessing it's preppy lol? I think you should wear jean carpis, a cute top like a cami or whatever your favorite shirt is and some cute matching flip flops. Then wear a cute purse, do your make up and hair good & you'll look great!

I feel pretty weird asking this, probably because I think every girl asks at least once. I like a boy and suddenly I'm terrified to go near him. There are two things wrong with this. One, I'm the opposite of shy. I'm not just saying that, either. When it comes to anything else I'm outgoing and LOUD. Secondly, this has never happened before! I'm in 10th grade and this is so new to me, it's scary. I really want to talk to him, but I always lose track for about 5 seconds and get this powerful fluttering thing in my stomach. How do I make it stop, and what can I do?

The reason you feel scared and nervous to talk to him is because you really like him. You don't want to embarass yourself or you don't want him to think anything bad of you. You need to just be yourself. I know you might hear that a lot but it's true. How else is he going to get to know you? Have fun and flirt with him. If he thought you were a freak he probablly wouldn't even be near you but he doesn't so just relax. You can't really make that feeling in your tummy just stop. It's mostly because you're nervous and you must really like him. So, like I said, have fun and be yourself. He's just a guy. :]

i like my good friend jake & about a month ago his friend told me he liked me. then about a week ago his other friend asked me if i liked him & i said yes. so now that jake knows i like him, i don't know what to do. we haven't talked, but he seems to send messages from his friends to me.

he's a very shy so i know he's scared to ask me out, so should i do it? i'm a pretty bold person, but i'm scared to ask him out because i'm not sure what will happen. i know he likes me but he could still act weird and say no. he's not exactly the most mature guy & he might just do what his friends say or something.

the fair is coming up. should i wait for him to come to me, or should i go up to him? if i should go up to him, should i ask him out? if i should, how would i say it? i just really need help!

Wait until you talk to him. Do you have his phone number, e-mail, A.I.M screen name? Anything.. There must be a way that you can talk to him. Anyways, the reason he probablly didn't ask you out yet is because he's nervous and he doesn't want you to say no even though you like him. You should do whatever you want to. I mean if you ask him out that's perfectly fine. You don't have to wait for him but before that you guys should just talk.

ok well my boyfriend and i have been going out for allmost 4 weeks and i dont get to see him that much cuz i met him at this camp but he calls me everyday. the last time he called was tuesday and i have tried calling him but he hasnt answered. well yesterday i was tlaking to a friend online (he is friends with my boyfriend) and he said that they were tlkaing and he mentioned that he wanted to break up. well they talked last week on monday and i talked to him on the fone after that conversation. I dont know what to do...i tried calling im like everyday every minute but i dont know if hes really not there or avoiding the calls and if and wen i do et a hold of him...what should i say? please help...thanx

You don't know for sure if your boyfriend wants a break. You need to stop calling him every single day and minute. I mean, maybe he's just busy with something or something happened. If he really wants to talk, he'll call you back. Trust me. When you do talk to him, then bring up the conversation about you and him and what his friend said. Just talk about your relationship and see where it can go.

ok well a couple of days ago i put on perfectly clean underwear and at the end of the day it looked like i had gotten my period. i havent gotten my period yet so i thought i was starting to get it. so the next day i didnt think i got it, so i put new perfectly clean underwear and it did the same thing. like it had little redish brownish stains on it. so then the next day i still didnt put a pad on and i put perfectly clean underwear and nothing showed up on it or whatever. is this normal? like it was for 2 days that i got those little stains on my underwear now it stopped. is this a sign that im getting my period soon? does it usually do this?

thanks im advance.


p.s.-sorry it was so long

It's very normal. You will get your period soon so always have a pad or tampon with you. Sometimes you might have your period for a day or two and other times a little longer. It's also going to be irregular and you won't always get it on time so don't worry about that. Just wear a panty liner so it doesn't get on your underwear.

my best friend has bein with her boyfriend for 5 months rite they have had sex about 17 times...
He doesnt believe in using a condom,and they havent once. 4 times shes put me under pressure saying shes pregnet and i have bein with her through it no matter what. She lost the baby the last time and the last 3 times was jus a miss hab. But now you see its happeing again she she hasnt come on here periods 4 2 months and can feel movement in her womb what shall i do?? Shes only 14 and her mom will kill her but i think she wants to keep it Please help me!!

If she gets pregnant, it's her fault. You're being a good friend by trying to give her advice on everything and she won't listen. If a guy doesn't belive in usuing a condom, he doesn't even deserve to have sex. I mean seriosuly. Why shouldn't she use a comdom. I don't think she thought about anything else. If she lost the baby the first time, she should of learned by then. Just talk to her once again and make sure she knows that there are consiquences. She's only 14 years old. She needs to think about her future and life.

I'm a thirteen year old female.
Well I have a very bad problem with a friend. She thinks I am a backstabber because she thought I got mad at her for taking her old boyfriend, but I said I didn't. And she thinks im an annoying person because she said "Your like a mosquito that won't go away." I've tried talking to her, but nothing helped me. I tried telling her I won't be annoying anymore, but she didn't believe me. We have been friends since Kindergarten and then this happened....HELLLLP..please!!
-Depressed Anonymous-

By telling her that you won't be annoying anymore is actually annoying her. Do you really want to be friends with someone like that? She seems pretty sure that she doesn't want to talk to you right now so don't suck up to her. She's mad for a stupid reason and it's really pathetic. You don't need to put up with that and feeling so bad. It's not your fault. You're being a good friend by wanting to make up but she's not so don't put that much effort in trying to fix this. Let her cool off.

what are some cute hair ideas for going out to dinner?

Having it just down & straight is good. Also, a cute pony tail, wavy or curly. If you have a good outfit the hair will look fine.
