INPUT ARTICLE: Article: A translucent powder will set your makeup without adding too much more coverage. This is a great option for setting your everyday makeup because it will look more natural. Loose powder that matches your skin tone can correct any unevenness in skin tone. It can also brighten your face and correct redness. If you're going to be in photographs or want to look more professionally done up, use a colored powder. When your loose powder meets the oils in your skin, it can oxidize, turning a slightly darker shade. If your skin is naturally oily, choose a loose powder a shade or half a shade lighter than your natural skin tone. If you have dry skin or combination skin (sometimes oily, sometimes dry), you're fine using a powder that matches your skin tone. It won't oxidize and should maintain its color.

SUMMARY: Choose a translucent powder for light coverage. Choose a flesh-colored powder to correct redness. Select a powder a shade lighter if you have oily skin. Use a powder that matches your skin tone for dry or combination skin.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Even if you find an amazing deal on an item, it might be offset by what you have to pay to ship it. If the shipping costs are outrageous, ask yourself if it's worth paying to ship as opposed to getting it from the store downtown. Compare the costs of different shipping methods. If you don't need it immediately, you could save yourself a lot of money by picking a slower shipping method. Be especially wary of shipping costs from auction sites. These are set at the discretion of the seller, and unscrupulous senders may hike up shipping to take advantage of customers. If you are purchasing multiple items, try to do so all from the same vendor, and in one purchase. Most vendors will group these into one shipment and many will ship for free over a certain purchase amount. Refurbished items are often sold for close to the amount of a new one, but have been repaired to be resold. While you may be able to find good deals this way, avoid it if possible. If you are going to be buying refurbished, check the warranty and ensure that the coverage is good in case it fails again. One of the biggest differences between buying from a brick-and-mortar store and an online retailer is dealing with returns. Make sure that the retailer you are buying from has a comprehensive return policy, and that you understand what you will be responsible for. Many retailers charge restocking fees to process returns. This may be taken out of the amount returned to you. Many retailers will have a field where you can enter promotional codes. These may be store-wide discounts or special deals on specific products. Before you make you purchase, do a web search for coupon codes for that retailer and input any that you find that are relevant to your purchase.

SUMMARY: Note the shipping costs. Buy multiple items to minimize shipping. Avoid refurbished items if possible. Read the return policy. Search for coupon codes.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Loose jewelry can move around inside the piercing, disturbing the cartilage and causing a bump to form. Therefore it's important to get jewelry that fits the piercing perfectly. A professional piercer from a reputable salon can help you with this. You should also avoid wearing earrings with butterfly backs, as these are more prone to causing bumps. Piercing guns should never be used for cartilage piercings. However, some cheaper or less-professional piercing places still use them. Piercing guns jam the jewelry through the skin, which distorts the ear cartilage underneath and often causes bumps to form. Therefore, if you plan on getting a new piercing, avoid getting it done at a place that still uses piercing guns. Frequently bumping things off your piercing or getting it caught in hair or clothes causes the jewelry to move around and can lead to bumps. Tie long hair back as much as possible (particularly when sleeping) to prevent it from snagging in the jewelry. And in general, just try to be more aware of your piercing and do your best to protect it. Don't fiddle with it or touch it constantly.

SUMMARY: Make sure your jewelry fits properly. Never get pierced with a piercing gun. Avoid bumping or knocking your piercing.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Steady your voice and speak at an ordinary volume to your class (or quieter if you are trying not to be heard). Try to sound as cool and collected as you normally do when you are trying to get them to quiet down and follow directions. Speak in short, simple sentences. Tell your students exactly what to do. Calm yourself first. Take a deep breath. Breathe out slowly. Address yourself by name in your head. Say, "Alright, Mitchell, calm down." Try to behave as if everything is under control and show your students to the safe corner. Be quick about it and give your students clear instructions in a reassuring tone. Say something like, "Everybody go to the safe corner" or "Please quietly stand up and walk to the coat closet." Once everybody is in place, keep reassuring them. So long as you aren't worried about your voice carrying through the door, you can help keep your class calm and in control with words. Act hopeful. Say, "Help is on the way" or "We are waiting for the helpers to come get us." Compliment good behavior. Say, "Everyone is doing a great job staying quiet." Reassure them that you are taking care of them. Say, "I'm right here," or "I'm your teacher. Let me protect you." If you are waiting a long time, help them think about pleasant things. Ask them to imagine a cool vacation they took or a beautiful place they'd like to go. Smile, wink, give a thumbs up, and nod if your students are looking at you. If you are trying to quiet them down, put your finger to your lips, or make the quiet signal for your classroom. Just looking at you will give them hope. Each school's plan will vary a little, but some steps to a lockdown are consistent: Check the hall for lingering students. Lock the doors. Pull down the blinds. Turn off all lights, including computer monitors. Direct your students to a designated safe space. Turn your cell phone to silent, or off. Wait for the right signal before you let anyone out.

SUMMARY:
Speak calmly. Direct your students to safety using simple commands. Say comforting things to your students. Provide visual reassurance. Follow all the protocol to keep your students safe.
