Beauty Questions from Readers
Q: I was just wondering what are the worst effects that
can happen from tweezing nose hairs?
A: I'm sure not an expert on tweezing nose hairs. It's
kinda funny you ask though, because I have done this myself and know
others who have. I haven't heard any complaints but it can be
irritating.
The only downside for me is that it hurts somewhat. On the other
hand, sometimes they don't grow back, which I appreciate. (I don't
have to do it much at all anymore.) Now if you want them to grow
back eventually, this is something not to do.
Keep in mind that nose hairs have a purpose of filtering unwanted
elements from the air, so leave your inner hairs intact. I suppose
you could end up with an ingrown hair if one is trying to grow back
and comes in wrong. That could lead to infection.
Q: How bad is it to use black lip liners? My lips are very
dark (brown) and I notice they look better when I line with very
dark lip liners, judging by the compliments I get. - From Vinnie
A: If your lips are dark and you're pleased with how they
look, you've done what's best -- testing to find out what works for
you. The only reservation I have about lip liner is when the
lipstick wears off and you're left with a dark "ring" around your
lips. If this isn't an issue, keep wearing it. You must be getting
compliments for a reason! :-)
Q: Which is better to use, a liquid eyeliner or pencil
eyeliner? - From Nicole
A: It depends on who's wearing it. Liquid eyeliner
requires a steadier hand. Pencil eyeliner gives a "smokier effect"
and is easier to apply. I personally like the pencil (in various
colors, they're fabulous) but everyone has their own preference. I
do think that liquid liner on fair skinned, blondes can look to
harsh, particularly if it's jet black.
Q: Great website! I was wondering if you can help me with
"colors". I know dark colors are worn during sinter, light colors
for summer, and rusts/copper for fall... but what are some colors
worn in Spring?
A: Just about anything goes, as long as the fabric is
light and sleeves are short if the weather is warm or hot. Trends
seem to change though. Below is a snippet from our Spring and Summer
Trends page:
"Summer brings some new, exciting fashion trends. With warmer weather
moving in, we want simple, feminine styles. Spring fashions for women
and teens will demonstrate
pastel tones for clothing. Light pinks express femininity. Black is
always hot, but men are attracted to color.
Dress in bright citrus colors to attract attention. Keep neutral colors on
hand to mix and match."
Traditional colors for Spring are pastels and white, but in
today's world, you get more freedom.
Spring is a transition season, so you can mix and match colors
and fabrics so they look stylish and feel comfortable. Most people
like to be unique and one way to do that is wear what you like, and
what you think looks best on you. Dark colors are often considered a
no-no in warm weather simply because they attract heat. If that
isn't a factor, you can wear dark colors (in Spring and Summer) and
combine them with lightweight fabrics and colors.
Trends are nice, but some will work for you, some will not.
Incorporate trends with your favorite colors. Dark rust may be
considered a fall color but may also be a bold Spring color. If
you're not going to be in hot temperatures, black is perfectly
acceptable, and looks great combined with tan or beige in the
Spring. Consider a black blouse with tan slacks and shoes, or
a black shirt with khakis. Try pink, light blue or white with black
pants. The combinations are endless...
