Ok so everyone says I have blessed skin, its normal and soft and I rarely break out! I can see a lot of the products are for acne skin but I dont have oily or acne prone skin. Should I still have a skin care routine and what products do you reccomend?Thanks
is daily facial scrub good?

yes of course! you need some kind of cleanser that rids of the daily wear and tear on your face! just because you don’t see it now doesn’t mean it won’t come later! I recommend mary kay products-if you are in your teens-about 20 you should use our velocity skincare line(cleanser and moisturizer), if you are in your 20’s you should definitely start preventing for the future lol. Our timewise skincare is the best because it suits your needs and there are two different lines for the timewise products-normal to dry & combination to oily! We have a 3in1 cleanser that NO ONE has which cleanses, exfoliates and freshens all in one! The Age-fighting moisturizer is an emollient-rich lotion which combines the action of 10 hours of hydration and a patented* complex to accelerate the skin’s natural renewal process, revealing firmer, smoother skin with fewer lines and wrinkles. Also there is a day solution with spf25 that helps prevent lines and discoloration before they occur by blocking damaging UVA/UVB rays . Plus, a calming peptide helps relax expression lines. The Night Solution is a unique delivery system of encapsulated vitamins and antioxidants combined with collagen-enhancing peptides help fade away deep lines and wrinkles.

My skin is pretty dry and I get zits often and mostly blackheads. I have tried Clean & Clear and St. Ives which doesn’t seem to work and Oxy and Clearisil which dried out my skin. What is a really effective skin care product that will not dry out my skin and get rid of my blackheads and other types of pimples? Thanks!

oh gosh I have used it all…proactiv, beauticontrol, clean & clear…all of it!
I am a senior independent beauty consultant with mary kay now & i can finally say my skin is at it’s best! I had to use the classic basic skincare line #3 which means it’s for acne-prone/blackhead-prone skin. As long as you get this you WILL NOT BE SORRY! It’s great & comes with everything you need to take care of your skin on a daily basis! cleanser, toner, revitalizing mask, & moisurizer! email me at jamiemiller85@marykay.com or go to my website & check out the great products I have to offer you! www.marykay.com/jamiemiller85.

I found a giant bottle of fragrance oil at Wal-Mart for $4. Is this safe to use a fragrance in my homemade candles?

Maybe,

You need to be very careful to get the right proportion of wax to fragrance oil. If you put in too much oil the candle may flame up and start a fire.

I am only 12, so I am not looking for super heavy duty things. I have average colored skin, a little tan. I want everything to make me look as flaw-less as possible but natural. I do not want to use eyeliner because it is noticable, and not the sort of makeup im into. Also, what is a good cover-up that is cheap.

Okay, This Makeup set is NOT by anymeans cheap, but it is absoloutly, 100% worth it, will last you a LONG time, and maybe, (I have!) You’ll get complments on how great your skin looks! (:
Im 13, and i use this coverup.
It’s called Id Bare Minerals and it works complete wonders.
It not only coversup blemishes, zits, pimples, even minor scars well, but it also leaves your skin looking completely natural and soft, silky, and smooth!
The things about this makeup that makes it different from other "mineral" powders, such as covergirl mineral powder, it absorbs into your skin, and doesnt just sit on the surface like most brands do.
Another thing about this makeup that i love is that it wont give you pimples, since, as in the name, it’s bare minerals! the minerals help your skin, and dont clog up your pores.
I’ve had this line of cosmetics for about a few months now, and i’ll tell you,
Im never going back to drug store makeup EVER again! (:
Here, check out their website.
http://bareescentuals.com/on/demandware.store/Sites-BareEscentuals-Site/default/Home-Show?brandId=BM&site=251
They may have a small store setup in your area, but they dont have them in most cities, so you’ll have to order them online.
P.S. They also sell really nice shades of lip stick and lip gloss, eyeshadows, and even mascara and eyeliners! I’d reccomend their lip gloss. (:

I am currently going to school for cosmetology and have been working on makeup as my specialty. I thought that going into the Hollywood world for makeup and or special effects makeup would be a dream job. Does anybody have any tips, experience or advice on how to prepare myself and or get my foot in the door?

Hello, Beads

I have written just such an article:
http://www.learnprostheticmakeup.com/How_can_I_get_into_makeup_effects.pdf

I work as a makeup effects artist in the UK and have a website with free articles for you to view/download here:
http://www.learnprostheticmakeup.com/page9.htm

Please be aware that it is competitive industry (name one that isn’t) but a broad skill base means there are a number of avenues to pursue.

A great many ‘Hollywood’ films are made in places other than Hollywood. In the UK, I have been fortunate enough to work on The Mummy, Saving Private Ryan, Gladiator-all full of UK crew and extras. European locations are often used (Prague and Budapest were popular) and Morocco is often used for desert locations so it may be necessary to travel if you get involved in that area.

Many successful makeup effects artists did not go through conventional makeup schooling-rather they misspent their youth making monsters for fun and gradually honed their skills over time. They were doing it for fun, making mistakes and enjoying it long before it paid their bills.

Most people are freelance, as the nature of the work arrives in peaks and troughs so you’ll need to sustain yourself with your earnings while the going is good, and accept there will be quiet times of the year.

A lot of prosthetic work takes place in a workshop environment rather than the set, which is a completely different world. It is messy, smelly and often long hours-not at all glamorous. But if you like sculpting, painting and making monsters then it should be your natural habitat!

Many makeup artists will be expected to do some ’special effects’ such as straightforward casualty makeup, illnesses and subtle aging. Specialist makeup effects departments step in when the skills needed are more extensive.

If you can’t find what you want near you, I suggest getting a good book, and spending the money on some kit and practice. Good books include:

* Character Makeup by Make-up Designery (ISBN-13: 978-0974950006)
* Special Make-Up Effects by Vincent Kehoe
* Special Makeup Effects for Stage & Screen: Making and Applying Prosthetics by Todd Debreceni
* Stage Makeup by Richard Corson

Some courses can be expensive ways to learn unless you are totally set on doing it as part of a career move. The best teaching will come from those who make their living from it, and naturally there will be emphasis on film quality work.

I also teach in the UK, and a lot of people from all over the world travel to learn. If you were successful in the trade, you would most likely need to travel all over the world when you work, so if you don’t like travel or working away from home, you may limit what work you can do.

Family commitments often hold people back in this way, and a lot of good artists who start early in their lives work all over don’t settle down.

You may not be able to travel to learn, but know that your competition will-it is a very competitive industry if you want to make a career out of it.

Check http://makeupmag.com/faqmain/. They also host trade shows (check http://www.makeupartistshow.com/) It is worth going, so you can meet and speak to people face to face about your intentions. It is great meeting like minded souls, and most of the big schools are there giving demos and often have show offers and discounts.

Whoever you go with, check them out online, see if anyone has anything bad to say about them. If you want a career in film and TV I also suggest you run the tutors name through http://www.imdb.com/, and see what credits they have to their name. Many teach it although they haven’t actually done it themselves in industry.

Kind regards
Stuart

I am eleven. In 6th grade. I am brown. I have dark brown eyes and i want to try makeup i need some tips. Thank you.

maybe some untinted lip gloss

I posted a question about Da Vinci cosmetics a few days ago but only got once answer… I’m hoping that if I include their former and current names (they used to be Bella Pierre but they recently changed to Da Vinci), more people might recognise it hehe
But yeah, has anyone tried these products? If so, what sort of coverage did it give you, how long did it stay neat for and did anyone have any bad skin reactions to it (such as excess oil or acne etc). I’m specifically interested in the mineral foundation, and I have quite oily skin (dry in patches) with some blemishes, so I’d be particularly interested to hear from people with the same skin type as me.
Also, what did people think of the foundation/concealer brushes of the same brand?
Thanks folks!

I also have oily/dry patches and I have their foundation powder. The only problem I seem to have is it makes my lower jaw/chin burn, but I seem to have that problem with any mineral foundation- I have tried several including MAC and Bare Minerals with the same results. And it’s only that area, so I think I’m just a freak of nature. LOL!!! I don’t have their brushes, I use MAC brushes which are fabulous. I do have some of their eye shadow pots and I like them, they have a good color pay off and work great with water or a fix as liners. They seem to last pretty well throughout the day. Hope this helps you a bit more.

I just turned 27, and I want to prevent the wrinkles before they start. I’m totally clueless when it comes to skin care. What types of products should I be using and how often? Right now i just use basic face wash. I don’t need brand names, but if you have some to recommend that would be good too.

ARTISTRY has the best skin care products I’ve ever found…. Check them out at http://mrtester.ltdteam.com password beauty

There are many different minerals used, especially when you get into pigments that range from bright red to bright blue, and everything in between. These are some standard ones.

Common minerals used in the mineral cosmetics include titanium dioxide, micas, and numerous and varied iron oxide pigments. More exotic minerals include serecite, ferric ferrocyanide, zinc oxide, straight iron, and Kaolin Clay. Beyond the minerals are other various natural and to me, strange, materials like soy and candelilla wax.
