Problem: Article: CDMA-only mobile phones, which are the standard in North America and parts of Asia, won't work in Europe. Some newer phones, however, are both CDMA and GSM compatible, and will work in Europe if "unlocked" (that is, untethered from a single mobile carrier). Call your carrier to see if your phone is both compatible and unlocked (or capable of being unlocked). Some carriers do not permit phones on their network to be unlocked. This is more likely if you purchased your phone as part of a 2-year (or alternate time period) contract. You'll still need to buy at least one SIM card that is compatible for use in Europe once you arrive. If your current phone won't work in Europe, you can, if you wish, buy a phone in your home country and get a SIM card when you arrive in Europe. Just make sure that the phone you buy is unlocked and GSM compatible. Don't buy a SIM card with the phone, unless it is clearly labeled as compatible with a particular European mobile phone carrier. SIM cards intended for use in North America, for instance, normally won't work in Europe. Buying a phone at home to bring to Europe versus buying a phone in Europe really comes down to personal choice. The prices are usually fairly comparable. Many European countries make it extremely easy to buy SIM cards, while othersmost notably Germanyhave restrictions that make it much more challenging for the average tourist. Search online for "buying a SIM card" in your destination country or countries to get a better idea of the specific process. If you're travelling to multiple European Union (EU) member nations, you can buy your SIM card in a country where it's easy to get one and use it throughout the EU. There won't be any roaming charges until you reach a predetermined usage limit. In the majority of European nations where it's still easy to buy SIM cards, you'll find them for sale seemingly everywhere. Shops at the airport, in city business districts, and along the highways usually sell SIM cards from a variety of mobile phone carriers. Alternatively, you can buy a SIM card directly from a particular carrier at one of their retail stores. You'll still find SIM cards for sale throughout Germany, but you have to provide both a valid photo ID and proof of a German mailing address, then wait for the SIM card to be mailed to that address. Choose a SIM card that is affiliated with a recognized mobile phone carrier in that country. Take price into consideration, but also ask the clerk (or any locals you may know) about the caliber of service offered by different carriers. Also make sure that the SIM card fits your phone! The standard SIM card is a common size that fits most phones, but some newer phones use micro SIM cards. Compatible major phone brands should be listed on the SIM card package. Turn off your phone and remove the current SIM card. You'll usually have to either open a small tray by poking an unbent paperclip into a small hole or, if the phone has a removable battery, take out the battery to find the SIM card underneath. Reverse the process to insert the new SIM card, then power up the phone. Do this while you're still in the store where you bought the SIM card. Ask the clerk for help with installation or troubleshooting if necessary. After you power up your phone and enter the PIN number provided with your new SIM card, your phone should function as normal on your chosen mobile carrier. However, keep in mind that you'll have a new phone number. Tell your primary contacts about this new number so they can get in touch with you, and so they know to accept calls or texts from this new number. You'll get a new number every time you buy a new SIM card. Calls to your normal number will go to voicemail, and you won't be able to access these voicemails unless your mobile provider at home offers a means for getting them online.
Summary: Bring your own phone only if it's unlocked and GSM compatible. Buy an unlocked GSM-compatible phone if yours isn't one. Compare the rules for buying SIM cards in your destination nation(s). Shop for SIM cards at corner shops and mobile provider stores. Compare several different SIMs before making your choice. Replace your phone's SIM card while still in the store. Inform friends and family of your new European phone number.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Though makeup is one of the best (and certainly most popular) ways to improve the look of lips, it is imperative you choose the right kind of makeup for the job; otherwise, the makeup might actually work the opposite way you want it to! As a rule, you'll want to avoid darker lipsticks when aiming for bigger lips. Clear or nude shades of lipstick are a much better match in this case. Moreover, picking a concealer and lip liner that works for your skin tone can make or break the cosmetic approach. Knowing what will, and will not work for your lips is a crucial first step. Generally speaking, you want to choose a colour that won't conflict with your natural tone. If you're not certain what might work or you specifically, enlist the help of a sales associate in a cosmetics store; most often, they'll know specifically what shades are best suited to each skin type. Before using lipstick and lip liner, you should make sure you start with a good canvas. A good concealer will erase the natural lip lines, allowing you to draw your own. Spread the concealer carefully, making sure you get it on and around your lips evenly. A lip liner is used to distinguish the boundary between your lips and the rest of your face. If you want to make your lips appear larger, draw on the lip liner slightly beyond the edges of your lips. When paired with lipstick, this larger canvas will give the impression of fuller lips. Once you have purposefully overdrawn your lips, lip stick and gloss should be applied evenly to the newly defined area. A blunt-tipped pencil will not apply color as evenly as you want, while a sharp-tipped pencil will result in clean, crisp lines. Don't try to get away with too much! Overdrawing lips only works well in moderation; going too far will make the effect look inauthentic. With your lip liner as a guide, apply lipstick to the extended area evenly. With a concealer in place, the overdrawn lipstick should create the illusion of fuller, plumper lips. Again, using nude tones like peach and pale pink are best-suited to this end. Making a slight, fake 'shadow' underneath your lips is a helpful trick to give them a deeper look. Pencil the underside of your bottom lip with a brown, or white eyeliner. Make sure to keep the line very subtle; this technique is best kept as an accent. If you're using a white eyeliner, another subtle line across the top of your upper lip will add to the impression. With the lipstick evenly applied, using a bit of lip gloss will give your lips an authentic shimmer. There are many different textures to lip gloss, including translucent, lacquer, milk, transparent, and iridescent. In this case, a neutral tone is most recommended. That way, you'll get a striking smoothness to your lips without losing any of their natural appeal.
Summary:
Choose the right sort of makeup. Apply a full coverage concealer. Draw on bigger lips with a lip liner. Apply lipstick, following the newly drawn lip lines. Underline your bottom lip with some eyeliner. Give your lips an added shine, using lip gloss.
