Wait 10 minutes after applying your moisturizer. This will allow your skin to properly absorb the lotion. Otherwise, you'll risk a damaged makeup job from too much moisture. On the other hand, the powder might not blend correctly if your face is too dry. You should have just enough oils on your skin for the makeup to adhere to. This includes areas of your skin affected by acne. Press your concealer brush into the green powder. Blot your blemishes to cover them. If you have dark circles, use the yellow enhancer in the same way under your eyes. It'll refract light and make your dark under-eye circles disappear. This helps you to avoid using too much. If you don't get enough, you could always add a layer. A little bit of powder goes a long way, so don't use more than about a pinch. Because powder tends to sprinkle, use your Kabuki brush to pick up the fallen powder. Swirl the brush in the cap. After that, tap the brush into the cap to remove the excess powder. The brush is most important in covering large areas of your face. An inferior brush might make the makeup look artificial. Do this by rubbing the brush on your skin in a circular motion. Start lightly on your cheeks and move off to the side of your face. The brush isn't supposed to just dust your skin with powder. It should buff the powder to help it adhere to the oil in your skin. The more you buff, the heavier the coverage will be. It might take practice to find the technique that works for you. The foundation will look a little powdery when you first apply it. However, it'll settle into your skin and look more natural in a few minutes. Setting powder prevents your makeup from melting off over the course of the day. If you have oily skin, finishing with a setting powder will give you extra protection and oil absorption. It will also help you obtain a matte finish. Apply the powder after you have the look you want with the foundation and enhancer. Apply it the same way you applied the foundation, using the Kabuki brush at first. When everything looks even, blend the makeup with your buffer brush. You can also use setting powder on your eyelids to set your eye shadow and eye liner, if you wear them.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Moisturize your face beforehand. Dab the enhancer on imperfections. Pour a small amount of powder into the cap of the jar. Get one to two pinches of powder onto the Kabuki brush. Apply the foundation. Apply a setting powder.
Article: When you are cooking your scallops over an open flame, soak the toothpicks or skewers for 30 minutes before using them. The saturation keeps them from catching fire. Light the grill and heat it to a medium-high setting. Brush the grate with a light coat of butter so the scallops don't stick. Once the grill is hot, brush the grate with a light coating of oil to keep the scallops from sticking. Spread the bacon wrapped scallops evenly across the grill. Cook them until the scallops have just cooked all the way through. This should take about 7 minutes. Flip the scallops often during the grilling process so that they cook evenly and don't burn. You can tell the scallops are finished when you see them change from translucent to opaque. Cut a scallop open to check if it is finished.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Saturate your skewers. Prepare the grill. Grill the scallops. Finished.
Article: A good first step to tolerating others in a tricky situation is making a conscious effort to empathize with him, and trying to see things from his perspective. You may have very different backgrounds and experiences to draw on, so what seems obvious to you might seem strange or alien to someone else. If you are talking to someone and they say something that you find hard to accept, you can figure out the other person's perspective without being intolerant or aggressive. Try to gain a better understanding of someone else's views by asking him or her to explain it to you. You might say something like, "Ok, tell me more about that. What makes you think that?" If you do this you are being tolerant by not dismissing him or her outright and you are attempting to understand something that you find difficult. Remember that tolerance does not mean accepting unacceptable behavior. One way to deal with a difficult situation is just to try to ignore your differences. This is a more negative kind of tolerance than learning to accept and value difference, but it can be useful. To do this you would have to avoid certain topics of conversation, or swiftly change the subject when necessary. If you find yourself in a conversation with someone and you are struggling to maintain civility, it can help to avoid making accusations or assumptions about the person you are talking to. You can do this by using "I" statements instead of "you" statements. This can help to de-escalate any personal animosity and may help you be more open to each other's viewpoints. For example, if you are talking about schools giving teenagers contraception, you might say "I think it's sensible for schools to make contraceptives available." This is a tolerant way of expressing your opinion. Avoid making "you" statements such as, "You're stupid for thinking that schools shouldn't give out contraception." If you are struggling to empathize or ignore the situation, and you are finding it hard to tolerate, you can try to address it to reach some kind of resolution. If you are good friends with someone and you don't want this intolerance to de-rail your friendship, it's worth making the effort to find a solution together. Everyone involved will need to be prepared to make an effort and participate fully. You should start by calmly describing what you find offensive or intolerable in each other's behavior or views. For example, "I don't agree with your stance on gun control." You will then need to try to get a better understanding of each other's cultural perceptions. You might do this by asking something like, "What experiences led you to develop your ideas about gun control?" You should then explain how the issue would be dealt with in each other's culture or view. You might start by stating what you think the ideal situation might be and then allow the other person to do the same. For example, you might start by saying something like, "I think that we should make it harder to obtain guns because" Then you can begin to negotiate a way forward that takes account of and respects your differences. This will be easier if there is a misunderstanding of each other's behavior, than if you hold more or less incompatible views. For example, you might start by saying something like, "While I don't agree with your views, I do have a better understanding of them. Now that I know the reasons behind your beliefs, it is easier for me to understand your point of view and I am willing to move forward."
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Try to empathize. Ask for an explanation. Ignore your differences. Use "I" statements rather than "you" statements. Address a conflict.
