Some haircuts can make people's faces look a lot younger, while others give the impression of success and power. Here are a few things to keep in mind next time you go to the salon or barber shop: Stay away from little girl bangs. Straight bangs that are cut above the eyebrows are cute, but they make people look young. Sweep yours across instead for a sophisticated look. Don't go for the shaggy look. This gives the impression that you are unkempt, whether you're a guy or a girl. Keep your hair trimmed and neat. Try a bob or a fade. These are both haircuts you might see on people who go into politics or medicine. Choose a haircut that makes you look assertive and powerful, in spite of your years. Experiment with a darker hair color. Hair often naturally darkens over time, and a darker hair color therefore makes you look older. Do not go overboard, however, as this might not give the effect that you want. A good rule is to stay within two shades of your natural hair color. Guys should experiment with facial hair. Men who can grow it in thickly look older with some facial hair, but if yours is wispy, stay clean-shaven. This simple step can go a long way toward making you look more sophisticated. Take the time to comb your hair and either put it up in a chignon, apply gel to define your curls, or straighten it. Skip bows and barrettes, which look childish. Don't wear pigtails or braids. These can look good, but will always look young. Wearing your hair up can emphasize your youthful features, and look like a much younger style than wearing your hair down, which can help to elongate your face and frame it to make it look a lot more adult. Many people think wearing a lot of makeup will make them look older, but it can actually have the opposite effect if you use too much. Go for a classic application of foundation, eye shadow, eye liner, and blush, with a lip that's just a few shades darker than your natural color. Stay away from blue eye shadow or other funky colors, which make you look like a little kid playing with makeup. Skip the glitter and shimmer and wear matte products instead. Draw a line starting from just under your natural cheekbone on either side of the face. Next under the jaw line, to create a slimming effect. Down the sides of the bridge of the nose, and on the sides of your forehead. Use a lighter concealer than your skin color, down the bridge of the nose in the center, on the cheekbones above the darker shade, under your eyes and just below your cheekbones.

Q: Making preparations in advance may not be possible when you enter into an expected philosophical dialogue, but usually, philosophical discussions that occur during your studies will be planned in advance. Review the assigned materials for the discussion and draw your own conclusions based on sound reasoning. For unplanned dialogues, briefly review your knowledge of related concepts before actively entering into the discussion. A philosophical dialogue would not be very interesting if everyone had the exact same ideas. There will be disagreements, but you should always be respectful of others and their ideas, even when trying to prove them wrong. Show respect by listening thoroughly and trying to view opposing points as worthwhile ideas. When a conversation brings up a significant issue, the exchanges will likely become more passionate, and conflict can occur. You should still try to end the conversation on a positive, respectful note, however. If the ideas being discussed are ones that you do not have strong opinions on or firm knowledge of, spend more time as an active listener than a speaker. Simply speaking is not enough. If the points you contribute are not sound ones, your contribution will not further the dialogue much. Conversely, if you do have strong arguments to make, speak up. You should not try to override others, but you should definitely make your ideas and support known. Insightful questions can be just as important in a discussion as sound arguments. Ask for clarification on any point another person makes when it seems hazy to you. If you have a point that no one else has addressed yet, but do not have a firm stance on it, bring that point up as a question.
A: Prepare yourself. Be respectful, but expect conflict. Provide quality insights. Ask plenty of questions.

Problem: Article: Darker skin tends to take on an "ashy" look when not properly moisturized. To keep from taking on an unhealthy-looking gray cast, always apply a moisturizer to your face after your daily shower. If you have dry skin, you may want to use a liquid or cream foundation. For added hydration, you can mix a few drops of moisturizer into your foundation before you apply. Just be aware that this will lessen the coverage. You can also use a tinted moisturizer or bb cream for a dewy finish and translucent coverage. If you choose to make foundation a part of your beauty routine, it's important to find a product that's as close as possible to your natural skin tone. Never use a foundation lighter than your skin tone. This can make your skin look patchy and your makeup caked on. When shopping for foundation, swatch it against your forehead or jawline. It's common for people with darker skin tones to be a little lighter at the face, so using your hand may not give you an accurate match. Foundation shopping is often trickier for people with darker skin. Try researching which locally-available brands work best on darker skin to narrow down your choices. You can also go to a local beauty shop or the makeup counter at a department store and ask for help there. These businesses often employ skilled makeup artists who might be better able to find the perfect match. Many will also offer a free makeover with your potential new foundation to help you decide. You should make sure the foundation you're thinking about buying is perfect in all lights, not just under the ones in the store. Try shopping without foundation or concealer on your face when trying out new foundations. Go outside and use a hand mirror to make sure the product blends in perfectly in the sun. While tanning is the trend in Western cultures, skin "bleaching" treatments are incredibly popular in India, especially among women with darker skin. It's best to stick to natural methods of lightening your skin, as many pharmaceutical products can have dangerous side-effects. Examples of natural skin lighteners that some people find effective are lemon juice, turmeric, and dairy products. The best way to make your skin a little lighter is to avoid sun exposure and to apply sunscreen when you can't. Bleaching your skin is by no means necessary. Dark skin is beautiful in its natural state. Don't lighten your skin to conform to some beauty standard. Only do so if it's your own personal preference.
Summary: Keep your skin moisturized. Match your foundation to your skin tone perfectly. Consider skin lightening treatments if you want lighter skin.
