Q-What is a fail-proof way to pick the perfect shade of foundation?

Selecting an exact skin-tone-marching makeup shade can be tricky. Foundation needs to be sampled in natural light, but most stores have fluorescent bulbs, which distort the color of the foundation. The trick is to dab on a touch of what seems to be your makeup match at the cosmetics counter, then head outside to check out your reflection in broad daylight. You can also check out Elizabeth Arden’s Foundation Matchmaker a device that determines which shade of makeup best suits you.
Q-Why do I always get this one zit in the same place?
Your bothersome blemish is a common complexion woe. One reason pimples keep popping up in the same place is that the pore it developed in is damaged usually the result of too much picking. Prodding at a pimple can loosen the cell lining of the pore and cause the clogged oil to slip deeper into the skin, creating an inflammatory reaction. If you get a pimple in the same spot three times within two months, go to your dermatologist for a cortisone injection, the blemish is still swollen, so the exact problem area can be pinpointed. Also ask your dermatologist to prescribe a super strength topical antibiotic like Cleocin T or retinoid like Retin-A Differin, all excellent at clearing up and preventing breakouts. If you can’t get to your dream immediately, resist the temptation to zealously squeeze your zit. Instead, ice it for five minutes two or three times a day to decrease swelling, and apply an over-the counter topical antibiotic containing benzoyle peroxide. At night, apply a drying agent containing salicylic acid, camphor, or sulfur after dabbing on the topical antibiotic.
Q- What is the least amount of time I need to wait for my nails to dry?
Newly painted digits can be dry in five minutes if you follow these professional pointers. First, allow 60 seconds between coats to let the polish evaporate, especially with darker shades. Apply a base coat and two coats of color, put on a quick-dry topcoat to speed up the process. Stick your talons or tootsies under a fan or a dryer for a few minutes. The new UV light nail dryers work well on acrylic or other artificial nails as long as your manicurist slicks on a UV-safe top coat first. But they don’t work on a natural nail because they tend to cause the polish to peel off or crack really quickly.
