hey i wear contacts and i really want colored ones..but im not sure what color would look good on me..is there any way to try it out without buying them first..? Oh and if you think you know a good color..please let me know..I am indian with tan skin..dark brown hair and i have dark brown eyes! thanks!

Green would look beautiful on you. I know there are certain computer programs that let you take a picture of yourself and see how different colors would look (they also do stuff like how different kinds of hair and makeup would look) so you might want to get one of them.

Hey, does anyone have some cute suggestions as far as accesorizing? Things i probably wouldnt have to go out and buy for. Like just cute things to do with a belt, or a cute way to turn things around a bit??
*i want suggestions i can use tomorrow, and i wont be hitting stores, so maybe make things apply a little more universal*

thanks xoxo
i rate good!

Make some cute armwarmers out of pretty socks.

You will need:

One pair of pretty socks (they should be longer than regular socks, but if you can't find long socks, then cute stockings (especially fishnets) will work

scissors

1) Put the sock over your arm, and pull it up as far as you want the arm warmers to go. You should probably pull them up to about you elbow.

2) Cut the sock wear your wrist is. If you want thumbholes, cut it where your fingers start. If you don't want thumbholes, then you're done.

3) For thumbholes (this is optional) mark where your thumb is, then make a TINY hole. Force your thumb through the hole so it will be the perfect size.

Yeah, it sounds kind of stupid, but I tried it this morning and now I have an awesome pair of armwarmers.

Im in 7th grade, at Pontiac Jounior High and im having problems--My figure is my heads oval, Im REALLY skinny, im fit, i have green eyes blonde hair and im a white person. I need to noe wat to were to school (not uniforms) OO yeah im noot tall and not short so i guess im average. Im not ugly im really pretty, but iono wat to were my make up, jewlery, my hair. If u could please help me...i need ur help!!

Get over yourself. The only true way to be original is to make your own clothes. You seem conceited. Looks and clothes can't substitute for what's inside.

im a freshman going into catholic highschool. we normally have to wear uniforms, but we have orientation on sept 1 and we can wear our own clothes. they said they have to be "dressy/casual" yet approriate, like no skin showing and whatnot. does dressy/casual mean that you should wear nice pants, or can you wear jeans? and im into REALLY standing out, i like wearing stripes, polka dots, bold bright colors, jewelry, bows... what do you think i should wear on that day... without being "inappropriate"?

Dressy/casual basically means comb your hair and don't wear pajamas. A nice pair of jeans without holes and a top that covers everything is fine. Bright colors and jewelry should be fine too, just don't overdo it since it is a catholic school.

I have trouble gettin makeup to stay on for awhile like eyeshadow. Ne tips on how i can get it to stay on for awhile?

Experiment by buying lots of different brands of eyeshadow. Some will last longer than others. I know that good brands, like covergirl, last a long time.

Ok right now im trying to start my own thing. So besides abercrombie, does anyone know where I can get some leg warmers? Thank ya..

I got mine at Journeys, and they also sell them at hot topic.

I have light blue eyes and blonde hair and mediam skin ... what is the best type of make up for me ... eyes, blush, etc .. THANKS

Pastel colors. Brown mascara, light blue, purple, or pink eyeshadow. Light pink blush. Just use lighter colors and you'll be fine.

I have really pretty green eyes! and their small and i have long eyelashes. A lot of ppl tell me i have to prettiest eyes. Does anyone know what color eyeshadow to wear or specific type of mascara?

Some light blues or green eyeshadows would look nice. Black mascara would probably look best. Since you have nice eyes, also bring them out with some eyeliner. It will also make your eyes look bigger.

I was wondering that lemon lemonade help your hiar high lighted in the sun. what if putting pink or starwberry? I just wondering.. oh yea and if you do put lemonade your hair sit in sun. you dont just pour in your hair? will surger make hair more yucky and oily? 3rd qestion after all that do have wash it????
Thanx

I don't think you're supposed to put lemonade in your hair. Lemon juice alone (with out water or sugar) will lighten it, but it might lighten it too much. I think you should just do it the traditional way with normal bleach.

Is it considered "dorky" to roll jeans that are a little short into capris? or should I just cut them? Thanks

I don't think so. You should try and dress them up a bit by putting pins on the cuffs or mabey add some kind of decoration to the bottom. Be creative.

WHAT IS IT WITH ALL THESE GIRLS CONCERD OF BEING FAT!!! ....103....120!!! those are all really good for your height and age!!! soo stop worrying were still kids!! live it up!! eat icecream for breakfeast!!!! make milkshakes for dinner!!! Dance the night away!! have a fun time and be a kid!!! heheeh ( im not saying DONT watch your weight b/c you should..just dont let it worry you sooo much!!!)AM I right Ladies?

mwa

I agree. If you don't eat this stuff when you're a teen, you'll never be able to again without getting huge, so enjoy it while you can and have a some ice cream once or twice a week!

I dunno what to wear the first day of school. I know u dunno what i've got- but maybe if u could tell me some cool shopping stores or o ya- i was wonderin' should i wear a skirt or shorts or capris cuz it is WAY to hot to wear jeans in TeJaS!!! thankyou

I think you should wear a skirt with a nice pattern on it. I think you should go shopping within a week or 2, because pretty much every store is having end of the summer sales, so you could find cute stuff for less money. Just last week I went to Delia's and paid $7.50 for a skirt that was originally $35.00. Also check H&M, they have good prices all year round. And go to Claire's too, accessories can make any outfit look cool.

I am going into 7th grade and I really want to wear eyeshowdow. Just eyeshwdow but I don't know if my Mom will let me. Should I wear it or not?

Eyeshadow isn't too bad as long as you don't put it all around you don't wear too much. I think it's fine for a 7th grader to wear eyeshadow and a little mascara. And what's the worst that can happen if you ask?

ok here is the deal, i need to go school shopping but i don't know where to go! i live in miami and im 15! does anybody know a good stoRe?

My aunt lives in Florida, and she says that a cool store for teen girls down there is Dots. Also try Delia's, Claires, and h&m.

i bought a thong but it's really uncomfortable! Do you have to get used to them? any tips?

It's kind of like a bra. It feels really awkward at first, but after a while, you forget that it's there. The only thing you can do is wait. Try wearing them while you sleep, it might help.

My toes are hairy.. what should i do about that? (im a chick)

You shouldn't shave it...it would be really easy to cut your toes with the razor. I would say trim it with scissors (be very careful) or if the hair is dark, squeeze some lemon juice on the hair and it will get lighter.

has neone tried the new veet thing..n if so does it work? cuz i wanna try it but i wanna make sure it works first.

My friend bought it, and she said it works well. She said it's really easy and painless too. It only took her about 10 minutes to do both legs, and she's pretty tall.

hey i am wondering about like abercrombie and the expencive stores like that...why do they have to cost soo much all the cute stuff costs way too much. how can i get the money?

First off, the clothes at abercrombie arn't that nice. Everybody wears them, and their not worth the money. But anyway, it's your business where you shop. A good way to get money is to babysit. This week alone, I made $55 by babysitting my sister while my mom was at work. It depends on how much people pay you. I think a fair rate is $2 or $3 an hour. Also, try having a garage sale. You can get rid of your old junk and get money.

hi im a 12 year old girl and i was wondering when is a good time and age to get my 1st bra

also if u wear 1 does it help u get a bf or to get guys to stair more

If your nipples show through your shirt, that means you need a bra. Most girls get their first bra when they are 11 or 12. Some get it earlier. It doesn't really get boys to stare, unless you wear a push up bra, but when you're 12 years old, you really shouldn't wear one. Also, don't stuff your bra. People WILL find out. And really, do you want a boyfriend who would just like you for your boobs? ok I'm done now.
