Lipstick Answers

I have chosen to wear a lilac dress & i have Revlon Eyeshadow quads which has three shade of purple including lilac & a silver colour. How should i apply this eyeshadow & what colour lipstick or lipgloss should i wear?….NB I have a dark complexion as dark as my avatar or slightly darker.

I use eyelid & foundation primer, but I’ve never tried lip primer. I’m a student & everytime I apply something like lip gloss, stain, or lipstick, I end up wiping it off with a napkin at lunch before I eat. So, I’m not sure if I should spend an extra $22 or so on lip primer because I’d just be wiping it off anyway, defeating the purpose for the primer. However, I still want the color to last (it fades). My friend told me I could put lip balm (seems pretty similar to the primer sticks) over my lip gloss, stain, or lipstick instead of the primer. Will that work?
Thanks.

I’ve been doing makeup for about a little over a year now, & I’m not a professional at all, but I like to keep things professional, like with sanitizing my brushes & tools, & using disposable applicators.
Well prom is near, & I have a couple of people I’m doing makeup for, but their all my friends, & I really don’t know how to go about charging them, because their my friends & I just feel it would be awkward or something. I don’t charge over $20, just below, because I don’t do full makeup like I don’t do/have foundation or concealer, I just do eyeshadow, blush, & lipstick/gloss, & I feel that if I should charge over $20 that much I should at least do the whole face, right?
But my main problem is that, makeup is not cheap, there are some products I specifically only use on other people, but I do use some of my own personal, because my kit isn’t quite complete yet & I do need a few more items/things to put into my kit & actually buy a train case since my old one is broken, & I don’t know HOW to ask my friends, which i think is the REAL issue of me not charging. I just been waaaay to nice, & I feel like I might be taken advantage of later if I keep this up. I’m only 17, haven’t found a job yet, so doing this IS my job, & by not charging I’m loosing SO much money. So I just really need help/advice on how to ask & bring that up, without it being awkward.
Thanks in advance (:

I recently purchased a MAC frost lipstick (Tanarama is the name of the color) & when I apply it, it makes my lips look very dry & the color sinks into the lines & cracks on my lips. When I had the makeup saleswoman put some on me before I bought it, she used this lip moisturizer sort of thing that made the surface of my lips even & smooth, but it costs $26. Is there anything less expensive out there but has the same function? Also, my lips were very chapped but now they’re a little better. But still the lipstick does not look very neat or clean because it keeps sinking into the natural creases in my lips.

ok this girl i met we’ve been talking for about a month now. i took her to happy hour one day n when we left her house she put lipstick on in my car. n she really didnt have clean cloths on because she was getting her stuff t/g to move. ok when i bought her a drink she asked wat i was getting n i told her n she said ill have the same thing as u. n i did lol.. she laughs at just about everything i say is this good? & she said one time before that she considers me a good friend & hopes i do too.. ok when we went to the park she was real happy n i got to see her fav. flower. & she made a comment about my lips being red lol.. is this a good sign lol ?

okay so im in my teens & I saw the movie Pearl Harbor with Kate Beckinsale in it. I just LOVED how she did her makeup. All she wore was a little mascara & red lipstick. Do you think this shade of lipstick is appropriate?
All i do is i apply chapstick as a base then i outline my lips lightly with a red lip liner. then i just fill it in with the lip liner. & for my eyes all i do is apply mascara to the top lids.
heres a pic for examplehttp://wwwimage.cbsnews.com/images/2004/…
do you think this is appropriate?

How do the actress show their lips in natural color or baby pink.. do they use lipstick.. wat kind of product makes their lip appear like that???

I have a job interview this Friday & this will be my 1st interview b/c I never had one b4 yet. So I have some questions to ask about the interview hope some1 can help me answer it:
1. What do you say when you meet the interviewer?
2. Does it matter who do the hand-shake 1st, or you have to be the one to start 1st?
3. So I’ll dress all in black suit & black shoes so is it ok if I wear a crossed-shoulder bag that is in silver color? I have a black handbag but I just like to wear this crossed shoulder bag more. Would it be ok or it have to be in black to match w/ my suit & shoes?
4. What do you say to the interviewer after the interview is over?
5. If you have to bring a copy of your resume, DL, & other documents so where do you put them, does it have to be in the folder or portfolio?
6. When I go to the interview does it require that long hair have to tie up? My hair is just a bit longer than shoulder length & I always leave it like that b/c I never put my hair up at all. If I have to tie it up now I feel kind of uncomfortable.
6. I’m a girl, 23 yrs old but I never in my life wear lipstick or makeup before b/c I just wanna look naturally that’s all I’ll trying to wear them when I’m get a bit older. So does it require that the female have to wear makeup when go to the interview or it’s just up to you? If I have to wear makeup to the interview would feel very shy & uncomfortable b/c I never use them before so dont get use to them yet.
Thx for your advices!!!

For years, I’ve observed in films that depict the Colonial years, many of the men wore make-up. It’s usually brightly white powder looking make-up on their faces, their cheeks are often covered with tiny bits of red, & it even looks like they have on lipstick as well as eyeliner.
What exactly did they apply on their face? I know it was make-up, but how was make-up different back then from today, if at all? Was this something only the rich men did? Was there a reason? Was that just the fashion style? Also, does anyone know of any books or websites that cover this subject?
I just watched Stanley Kubrick’s “Barry Lyndon” for the first time yesterday, so it got the wheels in my head spinning a bit on this topic. I’ve noticed plenty of times the male characters wearing the make-up before in films, but have never researched it.
BTW – Was this fashion style also used by the leaders of both sides of the conflict during the American Revolution?
This is just a guess, & I have nothing to back it up, but my instinct tells me that the more poor men from rural woods & the swamps would mock the richer men for putting make-up on. Of course, this could just be my modern way of thinking. I learned a few ye

Plz I know this is gonna be really long, but I need help with this issue!
I’m wanting to pursue a career as a makeup artist, but I’m starting to have second thoughts. So my friend has been telling me for almost 2 years now that my makeup always looks ‘fake,’ & that it doesn’t look good, when I know for a FACT that I know perfectly well how to apply makeup & am aware of how much or how little I put on (I’m 18, btw). (she’s never nice about it, either, when she tells me this stuff)
I LITERALLY (this isn’t an exaggeration either) look like a pale dead corpse without makeup (I got the dark circles under my eyes, redness & blotchiness, you know, the whole package lol, so NATURALLY I’m going to wear a bit more makeup than I would if I didn’t have all those probs). On the plus side, my complexion is relatively clear.
My friend may have been right 2 years ago (that summer my face was REALLY dry/flaky, acne ridden, & the foundation I was using made it look even drier & more gross; yeah, it didn’t look good at all lol). So I can see her point there, but not now.
I soon realized that she has NO room to tell ME how to apply makeup. My point: almost every time I see her with makeup (she normally just wears mascara & eyeliner) but whenever she wears eyeshadow, lipstick, blush, it looks TERRIBLE. It’s like she doesn’t even know how to pick up a blending brush & smudge/fade the shadow so that there’s no harsh lines. You know it’s bad when you’re reminded of a clown when you look at somebody’s makeup, & that’s exactly what I was reminded of. No joke. She came in school last week. It looked like she just slapped on dark dark grey, almost black eyeshadow, over her ENTIRE lid, no blending, completely uneven, eyeliner (again, uneven) & garish bright red lipstick. Ok, WTF? It’s no wonder why I only let her do my makeup once. After that, I never let her do it again lol.
So, my real question is: Should I trust my friend’s opinion, when she doesn’t even know how to do makeup herself??
I respected her opinion at first, & thought I could’ve been in denial all that time, thinking I was good at makeup when I really wasn’t. I believed her, & I was really upset for a while. But now I think she could’ve just been saying all that to start crap with me, & put me down, because, well, that’s just how she is.
Lol I know, not many people would think this is a big deal, but being a makeup artist has always been something close to my heart, & it’s something I really want to do in the near future.
lol LAST THING, I PROMISE: my everyday look is:
1.concealer (just under the eyes)
2.medium coverage foundation (this alone takes care of the blotchiness; I don’t need the concealer for that)
3. I USED to use a LITTLE pressed powder (my face is really oily) but I don’t like to use it anymore
4. 2 coats of mascara (eyelashes are the one thing I like to dramatize)
5. a thin sweep of eyeliner, NOT a heavy line (only on my upper lashline; I don’t normally apply any eye makeup on my waterline OR bottom lashline; I leave that area blank)
6. a light, shimmery neutral shadow on my lid, with a lightly applied AND BLENDED taupe shade on the crease, & I finish off with a little shimmery white shadow in the corners, so I look awake
7. don’t normally wear blush or bronzer to school. If I do, it’s a REALLY light pink color
8. a light, SHEER lipstick or gloss. Nothing too vibrant
So is that too much makeup, or is it OK?

My skin is oily all over. I breakout mostly underneath my chin, jawline & temples.
Right now I’m using L’Oreal’s Go 360 Clean Cleanser, St. Ives Apricot Scrub & Clearesil Spot Treatment. My face is starting to get itchy around my lips. What should I do?
I read a lot of magazines & their tips for women in their 20’s is to start anti-aging products now so skin will look better in the future. But afraid of pores clogging up with acne treatments, night creams, eye creams, neck creams & all the other things that are supposed prevent wrinkles in the future. What should my nighttime regimen be so that my skin will look its best?
Make-up. I like the natural look- little foundation, blush, lipstick, mascara & eyeliner. Once again I get these things from magazines. Primer, Foundation, Concealer. Where does sunscreen go in that order? What is the best foundation formula for oily/acne skin? Concealer?
How do I get rid of pitted scars?

So my 11yr old sister has to do a poetry unit for school. She wanted me to post some of her poems to see what ppl thought about them..
Here they r:
#1 I don’t understand
What life really is
Why gangs kill people
Why life can be stressful
But most of all
Why the economy is so bad
Why there is racism
What love is
Why life is like a rollercoaster.
What I understand most is
Why it rains
Why the sky is blue
Why the world goes round
Why I live life.
#2MARCH springs in
with a happy smile stretching
across her face
She dances around
on the green-grass
covered ground
Bounces up and
down & all around
Then glides sadly
out of the way for April.
#3Just because I’m athletic
It doesn’t mean I’m mean
It doesn’t mean I’m spoiled
It doesn’t mean I’m not smart
Just because I’m athletic
It doesn’t mean I don’t have friends
It doesn’t mean I don’t have fun
It doesn’t mean I’m selfish
#4CAN YOU IMAGINE…
A city without violence
This classroom in silence
Basketball without a ball
Reno without a mall
Ducks wearing lipstick
No barbecue at a picnic
Sky without stars
Jail with no bars
Thrusdays without New York Undercover
Being born without having a mother
The Lakers after Shaq
Harlem without crack
Pepsi without caffeine
Every night having the same dream?
#5I AM
I am the wine & the future
I wonder how many ripples I will have to swim
I hear the trickle of time in a bitter bottle
I see the translucent red drain from the wine
I want the sweet satin liquid to stain my tongue
I am the wine & the future.
I pretend to entertain the glowing embers
I feel the dew that sours the grapes
I touch the vine that grows new life
I worry the drunkard may speak the truth
I cry the dewdrop tears on the winery walls
I am the wine & the future.
I understand the dust on the bottle
I say it only makes it sweeter with time
I dream the sponge cork may never be replaced by lips
I try to glimmer the crack in my glass container
I hope the sun-faded label never creases for lost identity
I am the wine & the future.
So what do u think?

my live in boyfriend & father of my two sons went out on a business networking cocktail hour. He met up with some people that would be good connections & went to a lounge. He came home at two in the morning, which he knows I’m not ok with. But when he came home I saw his shirt that he took off & it had make up on one shoulder & lipstick under the front shirt pocket. He also had a white line stain on his top pant leg. He said a lady fell into him at the club & that is where the lipstick came to play. The makeup he explained the next day was from a ex coworker he bumped into during the day, & the pant spot he doesn’t know. He tried to hide the stain on his shirt when he came in with his jacket. What should i do should i believe him. This is the first time in 3 years that this happened.

2 Fallacies comments about McCain being out of touch & you shouldn’t vote for him.
McCain said it himself:http://thinkprogress.org/2008/07/12/mcca…
But when Republicans put up an ad distorting Obama’s lipstick comment…they were quickly smearing Obama as sexist because they think it’s applied to Palin. But Obama told Sen. John McCain’s claim–VERY IMPORTANT/NOT PALIN that he will shake up Washington after agreeing with President Bush for so long is like “putting lipstick on a pig.”
And not to be outdone; here’s what McCain said to a little girl at that time:
“Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly? Because her father is Janet Reno”
-John McCain
Neo-Cons are so hypocritical & are they will make anything blown up out of proportion

A drunk man who smelled like beer sat down on a subway seat next to a priest. The man’s tie was stained his face was plastered with red lipstick, & a half empty bottle of gin was sticking out of his torn coat pocket. He opened his newspaper & began reading.
After a few minutes the man turned to the priest & asked, “Say, Father, what causes arthritis?”
“My Son, it’s caused by loose living, being with cheap, wicked women, too much alcohol & a contempt for your fellow man.”
Well, I’ll be damned,” the drunk muttered, returning to his paper.
The priest, thinking about what he had said, nudged the man & apologized. “I’m very sorry. I didn’t mean to come on so strong. How long have you had arthritis?”
“I don’t have it, Father. I was just reading here that the Pope does”.
“Bible Story”
A father was reading Bible stories to his young son. He read, “The man named Lot was warned to take his wife & flee out of the city, but his wife looked back & was turned to salt.
His son asked, “What happened to the flea?”

Jack wakes up with a huge hangover after attending his company’s Christmas Party. Jack is not normally a drinker, but the drinks didn’t taste like alcohol at all. He didn’t even remember how he got home from the party. As bad as he was feeling, he wondered if he did something wrong.
Jack had to force himself to open his eyes & the first thing he sees is a couple of aspirins next to a glass of water on the side table. And, next to them, a single red rose! Jack sits up & sees his clothing in front of him, all clean & pressed. He looks around the room & sees that it is in perfect order, spotlessly clean. So is the rest of the house. He takes the aspirins, cringes when he sees a huge black eye staring back at him in the bathroom mirror. Then he notices a note hanging on the corner of the mirror written in red with little hearts on it & a kiss mark from his wife in Lipstick:
“Honey, breakfast is on the stove, I left early to get groceries to make you your favorite dinner tonight. I love you, darling! Love, Jillian”
He stumbles to the kitchen & sure enough, there is hot breakfast, steaming hot coffee & the morning newspaper. His son is also at the table, eating. Jack asks, “Son… What happened last night?”
“Well, you came home after 3 A.M., drunk & out of your mind. You fell over the coffee table & broke it, & then you puked in the hallway, & got that black eye when you ran into the door.
Confused, he asked his son, “So, why is everything in such perfect order & so clean? I have a rose, & breakfast is on the table waiting for me??”
His son replies, “Oh THAT! Mom dragged you to the bedroom, & when she tried to take your pants off, you screamed, “Leave me alone, I’m married!!”
Broken Coffee Table: $239.99. Hot Breakfast: $4.20. Two Aspirins: $.38. Saying the right thing, at the right time. . . PRICELESS!!!

I lost a bet with 3 of my friends (That are girls) so i had to let them duct tape me to a tree a few hours ago. Then after 30 mins they would let me down. And i though “This isn’t so bad” Then after 5 minutes being tied to the tree they came out of the house with a huge makeup kit, & some nail polish. They gave me an all out makeover, they put bright red lipstick on me, bright blue eyeshadow with tons of mascara, pink blush, & tons of other makeup. Then they painted my nails a hot pink & did zebra stripes on them. So girls, do you think that this is mean? I was pretty mean to them in the past, i put tons of embarrassing pics of them on Facebook, called them names, & tons of other stuff. I was a little sexist too. So do you think that i deserved this? And how do you remove nail polish? I know that you need nail polish remover.. but i don’t know how to use it?

Kay, so i had this friend, & she asked if i wanted to hang. So i had her & one of my really good friends over. everything was going fine,(except she wasnt letting anyone but her touch my labtop, & she wouldnt stop talking about how great my bestfriend was) & then i was on my bed, gettin up when we heard a crack. i kneed her $200 camera & somehow broke it, & i felt horrible. i apologized fr the LONGEST time. so then she takes my lipstick & writes all over my mirror so & so was here, & spills fake blood on my $1100 labtop!!!!! so me & my friend clean everything up while shes on my computer, & she wont stop talking about it all night. im like Im SORRY!. & she kept bugging my mom about it, like she wanted her to pay for it. i was a little mad cause she was makin me feel so guilty. And then, once she overstayed her welcome by & hour this mroning,we found out she had stole & eaten a whole pack of cookies.

The drunk muttered in response, “Well, I’ll be darned,” & returned to his paper.
The priest, thinking about what he had said, put his hand gently on the man’s arm & apologized. “I’m sorry.
