Q: Dirt, sweat and dead skin cells on your face can distort the way a foundation shade appears on your skin. By exfoliating and moisturizing first, you are priming your skin to accept and accurately reflect the true shade of the foundation. You should always do this before testing foundations. Wearing other colors can distort how you perceive your skin tone, so be sure to wear white when you're testing shades. Always use good lighting and try to use more than one light source to confirm a shade looks consistent. Natural light definitely needs to be one of your light sources, since it shows the shades most accurately. Most brands will identify the complementary undertone right on the product label, so check that first. If you are considering a brand that doesn't provide the undertone information for you, there are certain keywords you can look for that will give you some clues. Words like beige, golden, tan, caramel, and chestnut usually correspond to warm undertones. Terms like porcelain, rose, sable, and cocoa usually indicate cool undertones. Descriptions like ivory, buff, nude, and praline usually indicate neutral undertones. The neck tends to be the lightest, and the face and decolletage are usually slightly darker because they are exposed to more sunlight and elements. Even though all 3 won't match each other exactly, there will be a predominant shade that covers the most area. Choose the foundation shade that looks closest to that predominant shade. Test the foundation on both your face and your neck to ensure you'll end up with even color. Check your jawline after applying foundation. Make sure the skin above it (your face) also matches the skin below it (your neck). Foundation shades usually fall somewhere on a loose spectrum of fair, moderately fair, medium, medium deep, deep and very deep. Even if you feel certain you know your shade, test out 3 different ones for comparison. Choose the ones that most closely match your skin color. Use enough of each one to get a good read on it a tiny dab is not enough. Use a streak about 2 inches (5cm) long for testing. The right foundation shade will disappear into your skin and look natural.
A: Exfoliate and moisturize your skin. Wear white and be sure to test the makeup in good lighting. Match the undertone of your skin first. Match the color of your face, neck and decolletage. Try 3 different shades to compare.

Q: To prepare yourself for higher education, sign up for courses like algebra, calculus, statistics, and computer science while in high school. Developing strong math and technology skills will prepare you for the rigorous coursework needed to complete a Master's degree in mathematical finance. Choose a school with strong math and technology departments so you have access to the latest software and best professors. Regardless of the major you choose, you should take courses in statistics, finance, economics, physics, engineering, and computer science to prepare you for a Master's degree. A Bachelor's degree is a 4-year program. Even though you may have honed your math skills while earning your undergraduate degree, you'll still need a Master's to become a quant. Your coursework will help you understand the financial industry, including software development, probability theory, options pricing, and financial regulation. Typically, students spend 2 years getting a Master's degree. Though you can work as a quant with a Master's degree, you will only be qualified for a senior quantitative analyst position if you have a Doctorate. You can pursue a PhD in mathematical finance, computer science, physics, or mathematical engineering. It can take 6-8 years to earn a PhD.
A: Focus on math and technology courses in high school. Earn a Bachelor's degree in statistics, finance, or economics. Obtain a Master's degree in mathematical finance. Get a PhD in a mathematical discipline if you want to be a senior analyst.

Q: . Times are tight, and your employer may be feeling that, too, but you have little to lose if you approach your boss and respectfully ask for a pay raise. If you are a star employee who consistently and effectively goes above and beyond your job description, bring this up. Make a list of your accomplishments, discuss your long-term goals that may benefit the company in the future, and understand that you may still get a "no," especially during a recession. If you don't get a raise, don't allow yourself to become bitter or start doing less work this will only make your boss think that they made the right decision. Be gracious, ask if there's anything you can do differently, and keep working hard. If you have a skill that lends itself to freelance work, try to pick up a few projects. If you know how to play an instrument, consider offering lessons to local kids. Start an online store and sell your art or knitting or embroidery projects, or tutor middle and high school students for extra income. Develop a video game and sell it on Steam. You can also sell used things online, such as books, clothes, or electronics. The online marketplace is an excellent space to make a little extra money if you are feeling the pinch of a recession. Another way to make a little extra money is to find independent employment in the gig economy. For example, you can contract to be a driver for Uber or Lyft. You can also join Airbnb and rent out space in your home or apartment. Working in the gig economy can provide an excellent second source of income and it is another job that you can work outside of your main one. A gig economy job can also provide you with much needed income in case you lose your main job during the recession. Make sure having a second or side job isn't in conflict with your current employer's policy. Although you might resist the urge to look for a new job during a recession, there may still be opportunities that come along. Do not let the economic downturn prevent you from finding a better position. That does not mean that you should throw caution to the wind and quit your current job, it just means that if an opportunity comes along you should take it. Keep an eye on local and national job postings in the field you are interested in. Create a LinkedIn account and keep it updated.
A:
Ask for a raise Turn your skills into extra income. Join the gig economy. Look for a different job.
