Hey :D
Im in college studying Fashion. Its been almost 4 years since I've been on advicenators.I have to admit this site has changed my world. There were days when I felt that I have the worst life on this planet and no one could be more unhappy than me. But I guess things have changed since I saw the kind of problems people face everyday. Involving myself in solving other people's problems makes me feel great. I feel like I've grown up. I am a 20 year old girl who has experienced a lot in life. Giving advice by those experiences makes me feel a better human at the end of the day. Its like stopping people from making the mistakes I have made. It's great!
So let me know if you have any problems and I will surely help you...

i put on my eyeliner to make
my eyes pop i have black eye
liner and my eye change from
blue to green to grey so how
can i shape it so it looks
different and it pops? &
most of all so it looks
pretty (: please help.
thanks (link)
Ok, I used this technique using a black waterproof Kohl (Loreal, Revlon). Just gently pull your eyelids a little back with your finger and line the kohl on the part under the lashes. It looks like you have eyeliner but its not on visible your lids. Then you line the kohl on the lower lids. And dont forget the 2 coats of mascara. This thing really makes your eyes look dramatic...
Another thing I do is use a light colour liner on the top (Aqua marine blue, Silver, Forest Green, Purple) and use the darker version of the same colour on the lower lids (Deep blue, Hunter green, Deep Purple). This makes the eyes stand out.
Yet another way is to use a light shadow as the base(Silver, Gold, White, Beige, Aquamarine blue) and then line your eyes with a black liner and your on your lower lids. When you apply the liner on the lower lids, start madway till the outer edge instead of going all the way. Makes your eyes pop out.
Hope I helped...

im a dark skinned girl. like hispanic, indian dark. and i want to get eye shawdow that will stand out and look good on me and cheap. like walmart any ideas? (link)
You should try metallic green..The dark one...(Its my fav) Or The metallic eggshell, Deep purple, Black (always classy)...You can also use an aquamarine eyelier-it always looks great! Gold will look grat provided its not overdone. For a more casual look, opt for matte eyeshadows in brown.
The brands you should try- Revlon, L'oreal (the best range) and Maybelline (decent stuff)...

Step1-Begin by applying a styling gel, mousse or styling spray to clean, damp hair and blow dry until completely dry. Your curls will form better and last longer with the aid of good quality hair products.

Step2-Clip your hair back in multiple sections. Release one section and brush or comb it to remove any knots or tangles. Spray lightly with a soft-hold hairspray if your hair is very fine and doesn't hold curls well.

Step3-Begin with the undersection of your hair, working your way up to the top. Twist a small section of your hair with your hands for spiral curls, or take a flat, larger section for loose curls.

Step4-Open the curling iron by pressing the lever and insert your hair. Close the curling iron barrel on your hair, making sure that all of the ends of that section are completely enclosed in the barrel.

Step5-Roll the iron up and hold it for about 10 seconds.

Step6-Open the curling iron and release the curls. Proceed with other sections until all areas have been curled.

Step7-Flip your head and shake out the curls, then style your hair with your fingers.
Step8Spray with a light hold hair spray to keep your curls in place. For humid climates use a humidity resistant hair spray.

And your done!!

Also you can watch videos on youtube which show how you can curl your hair to have a clearer idea...!!

I think that dress is a gucci dress. i have seen a simmiliar print on a gucci dress.


Sorry for bothering you again. I was the one who sent you the question about the egg mixture to apply to my hair.

I found almond oil for $10 at GNC, but I don't even know WHERE to look for curd. Is it cheese curd? Can I buy it at the grocery store? If so, what section of the store would I find it in?

Thanks! (link)
Hey... if you cant find curd... then milk is equally good... But be careful not to make the mixture too thin... And I'm not sure if it's cheese curd because I have an Indian neighbour who makes homemade curd...I think it's by fermenting milk...Infact she's the one who gave me this great advice... I asked her and she said you can use milk... Hope this helps... And thanx for ur ques hun...

I was looking at your column and saw that mixture of eggs, curd, and lime that makes your hair shiny and perfect. I have two questions: do you apply the mixture to your hair while it's dry or wet? And, how often do you do it?

Thanks! (link)
Well first I apply 2 table spoons of almond oil on the scalp while it's dry... It makes it easier to apply the egg mixture and makes the hair grow long faster... I do it twice a weak... Usually on weekends... And I recently found out that you can use herbal shampoos instead of pantene which reduces the chaces of getting split ends.
Thanks for the question hun,xxxxx DaRkSiDe89 xxxxx


Everytime I look really "nice/good/pretty/stylish/glamorous" my friends always spot something on me. Like a little bit of smudged eye liner, or peanut-butter breath, messy hair, lipgloss not on the lips, or make-up prob. Its just so annoying. I hate it. I wish they would just compliment me. but they always find something. So I try to look good but then they always are so mean. I always feel bad after they told me that and embarassed. Its like they never have something to say nice to me. what should i do about this? (link)
Your friends are obviously having an inferiority complex with you. So if you know you're looking great, why dont you give them an answer for every thing they say?
For example:
1. When they say you have smudged eye liner, tell them that you did that purposely.
2. When they say you have peanut-butter breath just say it cant be possible because you've just had mints(And do pop in a few before leavin' home just to be careful.)
3. When they say that you have messy hair say that it's the latest look and they have no clue about it because they all follow the same old way of hair styling.
4. When they say that your lip gloss is not on your lips tell them that it's not lip gloss that you've put it's the latest and most expensive lipstick which they can just dream of buying. Tell them it's meant to be the way you've put it to make your lips look fuller.
5. When they say anything about make up tell them it's the latest trend.

These were just examples to let you know how to answer jealous girlfriends. If you keep answering them like this they will shut up after sometime. All you need is self confidence and the right attitude.
Best Of Luck sweetie, xxxxx DaRkSiDe89 xxxxxx


15/f (sorry if it's in the wrong category)

I have VERY long hair. And my hair's like really thick and healthy. Lately, I've been washing it too much. And now I worry that it will like all fall out. I've been noticing that it's getting thinner and thinner. But sometimes, however, it's normal. I wash my hair like every 2-3 days...and sometimes, when I put gunk in my hair, or come out of the pool, I was it every day. I don't know what to do. My hair gets greasy VERY quickly. And I mean like every 2-1 days. And it's gross just walking around like that (since my hair is always down). This causes me to wash it so often. Now I'm worried that all of my beautiful hair will either wear out, or fall out...or something bad will happen. ;_; advice please? :'( (link)
To keep the oil away and make it dazzling shiny I put a mixture of 2 eggs, equal amount of curd and 2 drops of lime. Sounds gross but my long hair look like that of a celebrity. Just beat the mixture for 5 minutes and aply it from the root of your hair to the tip and leave it on for 20 minutes. Then, first wash it off with water and then apply a shampoo (I use pantene).It doesn't stink and makes your hair more manageable and full. Just like a celeb...

i have dark brown eyes and medium brown shoulder length layerd hair. im not fair skinned but i am not tan. what is a good make up style ? i always hear people talking about "smokey eyes" for people with blue eyes. what should i do with my eye makeup?! (link)
Getting smokey eyes makes you look really glamorous and feminine. It enhances the colour of your eyes. Check out my snap in my profile. I've done up a smokey eyes look.

You'll need-
1. Black Kohl pencil.
2. Black Eye shadow.
3. Black eyeliner.
4. Black Mascara.
5. A foundation complementing you skin colour.

Firstly, apply the foundation on the eye lids, the region under the eye and under the brows. It keeps the make up in place and prevents the kohl from getting smudged too much.
Next, apply the eyeliner. It should not be too thin nor should it be too thick. About 1mm would do.
Then, apply the kohl. Put a heavy layer. Then using your clean fingers, rub it from left to right.
Next, take the black eye shadow, apply it on your eyelids and give a shaded effect on the outer corners. Apply a thin layer of black shadow right under the kohl line.
Lastly, apply 2 coats of mascara on your lashes.

You can make your eyes look dramatic by applying a dot of white eyeshadow on the inner corners of your eyes.

You'll look great Sweetie, xxxxx DaRkSiDe89 xxxxx


I'm a 19 year old girl.

I'm going to see The Phantom of the Opera on Saturday, and I'm really excited!

Thing is, I have no idea what to wear. I've been to the theatre before, but never to a more formal show like this... to give you an idea, I've seen Mamma Mia, Da Kink In My Hair, and Beauty and the Beast.

I have two different outfits that I could use;

1: Dress pants, nice tank top, 3/4 length heavy cotton jacket (kind of dressy)

OR

2: Black halter chiffon dress, knee length, with black shoulder scarf

If it helps at all, my boyfriend's wearing a black suit with a white shirt.

Thanks for your help! (link)
I think you should wear the Black halter chiffon dress...
