YAY! Then I am in luck xD
I know nothing about hair or to take care of it.
I have what you would call fluffy/wavy hair and I don't know what to do with it. I mean it isn't dry or anything but all i do is put it in a bun/ ponytail and sometimes pig tails but that is about it. I love my hair when it's long but I never know what to do with it ;.;
Have any tips <3
Well Be most helpful ^^

Well Hello love hope your doing well. First we can start with whats your face shape? It helps to know depending on your face shape sometimes to differentiate what style to wear. One thing i can tell you in advance is you should't wear your hair up all the time it can break that way ( cause split ends) and also if it is tight in a bun or ponytail it can make your hairline recede and no one wants that sad If you like your hair down and its puffy you can always add a serum to your hair while blow drying that will get the puffy look away and scrunch or curl your hair away from your face in a counter clockwise curl to show your face off to the world smile Mouse works very well in wavy hair as well it keeps the wave/curl and defuses the frizz. Now when it comes to products I use on clients are: TIGI Bedhead Control Freak, Rusk Wired, Paul Mitchell Super Skinny, or even at your drug store Frizz Ease Hair Serum. If you post a pic I can get more depth into it on exactly what to do with your hair but for now I hope that helps a little. Goodluck heart

Hey! (:
I was wondering what to do with my hair, cause I don't ever put it up or do anything with it, just leave it down.

Do you have any suggestions?

Whoot! I'm lucky then xD
I think I have hair problems. I also get tons of split ends in my hair no matter what. Like 3 inches of my hair are filled with split ends D: Advice? :c

my mom told me that if you mix egg, olive oil, and mayo together and put it in your hair before you wash it makes it smooth and shiny which is true because she puts it in my hair (i still think it is kinda gross) and it works great! oh and at least leave it on for 20 minutes. (: i hope i helped you a bit.

Alright, alright. What can I substitute for an eye primer? I heard concealer works but I am not sure.

You are about to be flooded with questions!

Any tips for applying pencil eye-liner to your upper lid?
I never leave the house without eye-shadow on (I know I'm crazy) but I always feel like my makeup is too 'fancy' for my attire (being skinny jeans, a tight v-neck shirt and converse) any colors you would recommend? or just suck it up and don't wear eye-shadow X D and my eyes are green.

Thank you so much for doing this!

I've been wearing makeup for years and have never really "gotten it right" I don't think. gonk

I have oily skin; if I put on foundation and then powder within thirty minutes my face is shiny. If I reapply powder it looks really made-up and fake. I recently started using a primer, but it makes maybe an hour's difference.
Also, when I wear eyeliner/eyeshadow, within an hour it's either all over my upper lid or smeared away from oil+blinking. Any way to remedy? D:

Hello Shadow Wind smile Ok for you your hair i love how it is now heart You could always add long shredded layers to it, it will give it a little more texture to your hair. Also I can see you in some long lolita curls (ringlet) if you have a curling iron. Start at the bottom curling clockwise, then next layer counterclockwise. Till your done curling it and if its too curly for your liking, just with your fingers tousle your hair a bit for a wavy look.Your bangs would go amazing with it. heart Hope that helps. razz

HELP! gonk

Look at this picture:



See the green? When my face is relaxed, there are dark lines on the sides of my nose where the green lines are. Kind of like Itachi from Naruto, they are so dark they looked almost bruised!

See the red color? Those are where dark giant pits form under my eyes when I smile! gonk It's like my lower eye lids and cheeks are mountains with a valley in between!

For the lines I try to use concealer but it takes a lot to make them fade and by a lot I mean until it starts to look caked! Any tips?

For the pits, I tried various methods from concealer to light eye shadow to brighten them up and make them less noticeable but when my face is relaxed, you can see the lighter strip where the make-up is! gonk Help!
