Problem: Article: Lightly apply a cool-tone foundation to your face to give it an aged, yellowed look. Use a pale cool-tone foundation, even if your skin is naturally warm-toned. Regular foundation will work, but it might be easier for you to find a foundation with a strong yellow undertone if you use costume makeup. Apply the foundation evenly over the exposed skin of your face and neck. Use a sponge or brush to do this. When finished, the color of your skin should be paler than normal, but it should still look like it could be natural human skin. Look for any light wrinkles that form on your natural face when you smile or frown. Trace these wrinkles in brown eyeliner, then smudge the eyeliner to blend it into your skin. Smile, frown, or other scrunch your face up to produce a natural set of creases. Even young skin creases when the face contorts in different ways. As a person ages, these creases are what develop into wrinkles. Lightly trace over the wrinkles around your eyes and mouth using brown eyeliner pencil. Avoid gel liners. Use an eyeliner pencil close to your natural skin tone and lightly highlight around the edges of each brown mark. Blend the two liner colors together using a makeup sponge. Doing so will make your creases look more like wrinkles without making the eyeliner marks too obvious. Dust the apples of your cheeks with a moderate amount of pink blush or rouge. The idea is to make it somewhat obvious that you're wearing make-up instead of making it look as natural as possible. Consider using a cream rouge instead of a powdered one. Either option will work, but creams tend to have a more pronounced look. Choose a matte lipstick in a classic shade. Avoid glittery lipsticks or shiny lip glosses. Don't be afraid to choose an option that is a little bolder than your normal preferences. A deep pink or solid red could work well. Avoid hot pinks and fire engine reds, though, since these might be a little too flashy. Lips tend to thin out with age, too, so you could consider applying a skin-colored lip liner to the outer perimeter of your top and bottom lip before putting on your lipstick to create the appearance of thinner lips.
Summary: Use cool-tone foundation. Trace wrinkles in brown eyeliner pencil. Add a touch of rouge. Apply a little lipstick.

Problem: Article: The components needed to make gel alcohol hand sanitizer are common household products, so it's quite possible that you already have them. If you don't, you can obtain them easily at any drug or grocery store. You will need rubbing (isopropyl) alcohol that is at a minimum 91% pure and plain aloe vera gel. That's it! To be comparable to store-bought products like Purell or Germ-X in terms of effectiveness, the final product needs to be at least 65% alcohol. Using 91% isopropyl alcohol will place your final product within that range. If you can find 99% isopropyl alcohol, choose that. It's not required, but it will increase the germ-killing effectiveness of your final product. Aloe vera gel also comes in a variety of purity options. You'll want the purest that you can find simply check out the label to get the purity information. This doesn't alter the effectiveness of the product, but using the purest you can find will ensure that your final mixture contains the least amount of additives and additional chemicals. Measure out 34 cup (180ml) of isopropyl alcohol and 14 cup (59ml) of plain aloe vera gel and dump both of them together into the bowl. Use your spatula (or spoon) to stir vigorously until the ingredients are fully mixed together. If you'd prefer not to mix by hand in a bowl, you can use your food processor instead. If the ingredients flow too easily, add in 18 cup (30ml) more aloe gel and stir it together. Be careful adding any more gel since you may dilute the alcohol so much that it won't be effective against bacteria. Use the funnel to pour the mixture directly from the bowl into the bottle you've chosen to use. Replace the pump, lid, or cap on your bottle. Now you have your finished product and it's ready to use immediately! The mixture will keep for 6 months or more. Store it away from direct sunlight to get the longest shelf life possible. Put the mixture in smaller bottles that can easily fit into a purse, backpack, or briefcase for use on the go. If you purchase any commercial sanitizers, save the bottles so that you can upcycle them later, since those are perfect for this. You can usually purchase new empty bottles of this size at the grocery store. Check the aisle with travel-size personal care items. There is actually a proper way to use sanitizer to get maximum effectiveness from the product. Before you start, make sure your hands are clean of visible dirt and grime. Sanitizer isn't meant for situations when you find your hands dirty with actual dirt. Using about a palm-sized amount of the sanitizer, rub your hands briskly together for 20 to 30 seconds, taking care to get underneath your fingernails, between your fingers, the back of your hands and your wrists. Allow the sanitizer to dry completely, without wiping your hands off or rinsing them with water. Once the sanitizer dries completely, the process is complete.
Summary: Obtain your ingredients. Combine the ingredients. Bottle your product. Use the sanitizer correctly.

Problem: Article: There are many different types of braided trims. You can find thick, narrow, and intricate braided trims. Choose 1 that will look good with your pillow's fabric. For example, you could use a black braided trim with a green jacquard fabric. Since braids are more intricate trims, you may not want to use it with detailed print fabrics. For example, a braided trim might be too much for a pillow with a picture of a landscape on it. You can add a fringe trim to give your pillow some dimension and make it look more luxurious. Fringe comes in different types as well, including flat fringe, tasseled fringe, and pom pom fringe. Choose fringe in a color that will compliment your pillow's fabric. For example, if your pillow has a pink floral print with a teal background, then opt for a teal fringe to make the background color pop. If you are just looking for something to add a pop of color, go with a bias tape or ribbon trim. You can choose a solid color of ribbon or bias tape, or something with a print. Choose a ribbon or bias tape that is about 1 to 3 inches (2.5 to 7.6cm) wide depending on how wide you want the trim to be. Make sure the ribbon or bias tape is a color that will compliment your pillow, such as a light pink ribbon for a white pillow or black ribbon for a leopard print pillow. Look for ribbons in different textures, such as satin, mesh, and lace. Adding a textured ribbon around the edges of a pillow can make a basic, solid color or print pillow into something special and romantic. Rick rack is a wavy trim that is similar to ribbon and it can make your pillow look like it was crafted in the 60's or 70's. However, rick rack will not wrap around the edges of your pillow because of the waves. Instead, you can sew the rick rack onto the edges of the pillow on 1 or both sides. Choose a rick rack color that will make your pillow fabric pop. Such as a hot pink rick rack for a lime green pillow, or white rick rack with a red print fabric.
Summary:
Go with a braided trim for a luxurious look. Try fringe for a luxurious trim. Opt for ribbon or bias tape for a colorful accent. Use rick rack for a vintage look.
