5) Liquid foundation or powder?
Depends. If you have dry skin opt towards liquid, if you have oily skin, try powder foundation. One has a more matte look (powder) and the other has a hint of sheen in it (liquid). I like to use liquid if the weather is very dry.
6) What eyeliner do you recommend? Liquid, pencil etc?
If you live in a humid area try liquid because pencil tends to melt. If your liquid melts, try powder eyeliner which looks more natural. Eyeliner pencil is the easier to use, but I always use liquid because it lasts longer.
Good eyeliner drug store brand - Revlon Colorstay Eyeliner, Almay Amazing Lasting Eye Pencil
Good eyeliner department store- Chanel Le Crayon Khol in Noir
Good Liquid Eyeliner- Revlon Colorstay Liquid

C.O. Bigelow Rose Salve and Lip balm. Burt's Bees Lip balm original formula.

Revlon Lipstick in Naturally Nude
9) How to make eyeliners on the lower rim of the eyes not smear?
Try to use liquid eyeliner on the bottom of the eye. If you think it is too difficult, try powder eyeliner. Powder Eyeliner looks more natural. Try Revlon Bedroom Eyes Powder Liner
10) What do you use to fill in your eyebrows.
I use brown eyedshadow, the particular brand is lancome. You can use any brown, grey or colored eyeshadow to fill in your brows. It looks very natural.
Skin Care Questions
1) Can we purchase coated aspirin?
Yes you can purchase coated aspirin. The only difference between non coated ones is that they dissolve faster.
2) Do we have to use honey for aspirin? Can we use maple or waffle syrup?
No if you do not have honey just use aspirin. Do not use any syrup or maple.
3) Do we need spf?
Yes you do. The sun can destroy your skin if you do not protect it. Keep the harmful sunrays from damaging your skin by using sunscreen or spf moisturizer on your face and lotion on your body.
4) What are some good moisturizers?
I use Neutrogena Healthy Skin Anti Wrinkle SPF 15 and RoC Retinol Actif Pur Anti-Wrinkle Firming Treatment Night
5) Do we have to use an electric toothbrush?
It is easier to use it because of the consistent scrubbing and vibrating movement.
6) What are some good exfoliating scrubs?
Aspirin, LUSH Angels on Bare Skin, L'Oreal Power Buff Anti Roughness, Olay Regenerist Microdermabrasion and Chemical Peel.
7) What are other ways to keep the skin clear?
Drink 5 bottles of water a day and eat lots of fruits and veggies. Carrots are excellent for the skin too.
8) How can you whiten or lighten your skin?
Egg whites are known to lighten the skin, and another natural bleach is lemon juice. You can purchase lemon juice at a local grocery market, and at night after washing and exfoliating your face, apply the lemon juice on areas that you need to be lighten, and leave it on for 30 minutes. After, wash it off and tone and moisturize. Be sure to use SPF and do not be in direct sunlight with the lemon on your face or it will cook your face.
An artificial way to whiten your skin is Ponds Double White Whitening treatment. You cannot purchase this in the USA, so you must purchase it online on ebay or over seas online beauty stores. It works so well that in 2 weeks your skin will appear whiter, the downside is you must continuously use the product or your skin will return to it's natural color.
9) Can we store the leftover egg whites and egg yolks in a container and keep it in a fridge?
Yes, but throw it away after 4 days.
10) Will you make anymore tutorials on homemade masks?
Yes, stay tuned!
11) Any solution to acne scars or scars in general?
Try out Mederma, that worked for me. Try using the aspirin treatment by taking aspirin and placing it over the scar, and place a bandaid on it for overnight. Then take Vitamin E capsules, break it open and apply the liquid on the scar and leave it on. Vitamin E is very good for the skin. This should fade the scars.
12) Blackheads?
There are different methods I have used. One is steaming the face and manually squeezing the blackheads and whiteheads out. Another is to exfoliate those fuggers off (hence the toothbrush method). Another is to use salicylic Acid and benzoyl peroxide, use them topically to keep the pores clean. Last is retional, I use retional based creams to keep my pores clear and small.
Hair Question
1) What hair products do you use?
Redkin All Soft Shampoo and Conditioner. Redkin All Smooth Butter Leave in Conditioner. Redkin Spray Starch. Jobobo Oil.
2) What kind of haircut do you have?
I asked the stylist to lighten the weight of my hair, and he used thinning shears to take excess weight off of my thick coarse hair. After I asked for a tampered layered sophisticated yet spunky cut. Be sure you get the best hair stylist by word of mouth, and ask for the owner of the Salon to cut and style your hair.
Clothing questions
1) Where do you shop?
Various stores. I prefer to purchase from independent designers. I like handmade/hand dyed clothes made of the highest quality of supima cotton, silks and other fabrics. If it feels good then that is all that matters to me.

I hope this FAQ answered most of your questions. All I ask is for you not to depend on me to get all the answers. It is always fun to be your own detective and research and find out the answers for yourself. I do not want to spoon feed my readers, because I expect all of you intelligent readers to be capable of finding the simple answers on your own. I can only do so much. Good Luck and see you next time.
