Q: i have soooo much trouble putting eyeliner on the top.
can someone give my tips?

thanks in advance

I have trouble doing that too, it gives me this wierd feeling until my eyes get all watery! But I just don't put it on my top eyelid, I think putting it just on the bottom looks good too. But if you really want to put it on the top, I think you should just put it on the corners of your top eylids. Also make sure your eyeliner tip isn't too sharp or too dull. BEST OF LUCK:) Hope this helps!

Q: hey i need a little help on fashion i have wavy brown hair down to about my shoulders or a little over them but i straighten it and its just straight and i want to know if there is anything more that i can do with my hair, but i have kind of a big forehead with a birthmark on it so i need something that wont draw any attention to it. Also i need to know what kinds of clothes are in now so i can go shopping and what makeup i should wear besides mascara and lipgloss so i can look cute.and also what kind of makeup would reduce my pale look just a little and make my forehead look a little smaller and also i would rele like to know maybe a new way to cut my hair so it is cute and in, but nothing too short.I rele wanna look better when i go places cause i am homeschooled and next year i am starting public 8th grade middle school for the first time since 4th grade and i rele dont want to be picked on and i rele want to be nice and popular. so please give me some tips on how to look more cute and up to date and skinny and nice with my hair makeup and clothes. Also i would like to know what kind of jewlrey is in and cute as well. so thanx so so much for the advice and time and im so sorry this was so long. Thanx you give great advice! : ]

Hairstyles that are really cute are just clipping a little hair back in the front. To hide your birthmark and forehead, get a cute cut with side bangs! Those are VERY in right now. Also cute ponytails are really in. For clothes buy a couple jean skirts with leggings, lots of girls are into those now, they are so cute. For make up, use eyeliner. Make sure not too much, guys like it when girls dont wear too much make up. For jewelry, get the long, beaded neckalces and overlap them, thats a very pretty style. Long earrings are also in. Tight fitted shirts are very cute, ones that say things like love and are kind of vintage. GOOD LUCK! Hope this helps:)

Q: Ok. This might be a bit long but please, read.

Since I was so stupid, I decided to SHAVE my eyebrows instead of plucking. So now I'm stuck with little hairs poking around my eyebrows. Then I continued to shave the little hairs and it just looks terrible. So then I started plucking the little hairs like I was supposed to. But my question(s) are these:

How can I make it so it doesn't hurt so badly?

And, when I shaved them, I did them totally wrong and small and they gah. It's just so bad.

How can I get them to look good and thin?

Thanks. :(

Well, for starters, when you pluck your eyebrows, make sure you pluck them in the direction they are growing. That will help so it doesnt hurt as much. Also, rub some lotion on them to stop the itching and stinging a little.
If you want them to be perfect, go to a profeshional to get them waxed or plucked (pluck is probably less painful:recomended). As they grow back, just keep plucking them with the solutions above, they will be looking great in no time!
hope this helps:)

Q: I have short hair that I can't do much with. I was just wondering if anyone has any styles that I can do the morning kind of quick. P.S. my hair is up to my shoulders.

Hey!
I have a few ways that you could make your hair look cute..
Wear fake flowers in your hair with your hair flipped out a little at the ends. You can buy the flowers at claires and they have many pretty colors with sparkles and sequins on them!
Do a half ponytail, and put a headband on!
hope these help:)

Q: I hate stereotyping! And people are always calling me goth or emo, (im considered emo). But I hate it when I'm called gothic. They don't know whether I'm with God or not! I wish they'd all just stop judging! I don't know what else to do. I always just get a deep voice and say "be careful what you wish for", gothics seek revenge". LOL. j/k. But what could I say to get them to stop???

Thanx
~KAYLA~

If you like the way you look, then just ignore those stereotypers! If they call you gothic then just simply say, "You dont know me". That will show them! You could also get to know some of the people who stereotype, if they get to know you they will see that the real you isnt emo!
hope this helps :)

Wear loose polo shirts ( you can buy them at wal- mart), they can go with mini jean skirts that will show off your skinnier legs. If you want to be a little funky you can buy black tights that go to just below the knee,you know the ones that go under skirts. As far as make up, wear a little eyeliner ( maybe even colors that match your outfit!) And lip gloss always looks really cute:)
For your hair, try Fructis products, they have many products to turn frizz into pretty curls!
If you want more style tips, go to google and type in ashley tisdale official fan site, or any other famous female star that has a style you like! these sites show awesome outfits and you can make them your own and be unique!
hope this helps :)

Q: My sweet 16 theme is Hollywood and me and my friends want to go all out. We are trying to think of people to dress as, but are coming up blank.

I'd love to hear some advice on it, or even a website for ideas.

I tried google but it didn't help me much.

Thanks

Here are some celebs you could dress as..
Paris Hilton( she would be easy to recognize if you want to dress as her)
Madonna ( one of you could wear those wierd cone bra things.. lol)
Beyonce' ( shes very classy and likes to wear diamonds, doing your hair big and curly would make it obvious that your her)
Marylin Monroe ( she is easy to recognize)
Ashlee Simpson ( she kind of has that rocker-chic look)
Shakira ( wear a belly dancer outfit and curly hair)

Hope this helps :)
