Q: Although primer is optional, it will even out your skin tone and allow your makeup to last longer. Start applying the primer at your nose and work your way out until your entire face is covered. Allow the primer to dry before applying your makeup. Make sure you select the right brush for applying powder foundation. The type of brush you choose depends on how you want to apply your makeup. Most people use a rounded kabuki brush, which you can purchase at most department stores, to apply powder foundation. However, if you're applying powder foundation on top of a liquid or cream foundation, you may want to use a rounded foundation brush. The coverage with these kinds of brushes is usually more sheer. You should also keep in mind how thick of a brush you want, regardless of whether you're using a foundation brush or a kabuki brush. If you want fuller coverage, use a thicker brush. For light coverage and touch ups, use a larger brush with less dense bristles. Use swirling motions to lightly coat your brush in your powder foundation. Hold the brush horizontally as you work, working the foundation into the bristles of the brush. Use circular motions to apply the foundation to your cheeks, forehead, under your eyes, and any areas where you notice discoloration on your face. If you have any pimples or acne, cover these areas with a light dusting of powder foundation. Go slowly when applying foundation. Applying foundation in a rush can cause it to smear. Powder foundation may spread or clump lightly when applied. This is usually okay. You can remove clumps when you finish applying. This can also be used to smooth and blend the foundation so that it looks natural. Foundation should not change the color of your face, as you should choose a color that matches your skin tone. It should just make your complexion look smoother. If your makeup looks caked on, try blending it a little more into your skin. Use a clean brush and light, swirling motions to soften and blend the makeup. If you still see the powder after you've blended it well, you may need to choose a different color that is closer to your skin tone.
A: Prepare your skin with a primer. Choose the right brush. Swirl your brush into your powder foundation. Apply the foundation in circular motions. Dust off any excess powder with a finishing brush.

Q: In order for a word to be properly pronounced and enunciated, it must be accurately formed, completed, and supported by your breathing. Now that you know how to breath correctly, are you clearly pronouncing each syllable in each word? Most of us don't practice proper enunciation in casual conversation, but it is crucial for voice projection. Pay attention to how you pronounce words ending in 'ing' like driving, drinking, or working. Say them out loud. Did you pronounce them as 'driv-in', 'drink-in', and 'work-in'? Failing to enunciate the last syllable of the word causes you to mumble which inhibits voice projection. Actors in Shakespearean plays--who need to project their voices across auditoriums--are known to enunciate so much that they actually spit on the first few rows! Enunciation to this degree is unnecessary, but exaggerated enunciation will definitely help your audience understand what you are saying. Have you ever met someone who spoke in a monotone voice? Ever notice how hard it was to follow what they were saying because of their lack of emphasis and energy? Another aspect to good voice projection is making sure you're putting enough energy and emphasis behind your words. It might feel weird or as though you're over emphasizing, but if you're breathing properly it will come across naturally to your audience. Over exaggerate your words by stretching your cheeks. Make your lips more nimble with lip and tongue exercises that require opening your vowels and making your consonants clearer and better enunciated. Stretch your cheeks to open your mouth as wide as possible, then smile as big as you can. To exercise your tongue, practice rolling your R's. Try repeating "diction is done with the tip of the tongue and the teeth" or "red leather, yellow leather" out loud until you're able to enunciate every syllable properly.
A: Work on enunciating. Put energy into your words. Exercise your tongue and lips. Memorize and recite tongue twisters.

Q: This means removing grease, mud, organic matter, fuel, etc. Use clean rags to clean it up each time, and a compressed air blower can help to clean out the ventilation fans. A generator should not be subjected to moisture or water. Keep it in a dry space and covered against dust, mud, grime, etc.
A: Always clean the generator post-use. If there are any signs of corrosion present, treat with an inhibitor product. Store the generator properly.

Q: This will show respect and take some of the load off of their shoulders. If you live at home, make sure you take an active role in keeping it clean, particularly your room. If you don't live at home, stop by once or twice a week to help out. Wash and fold the laundry. Clean and put away the dishes. Pick up after yourself and others. Run the vacuum around the house. Cut and rake the grass for them. You were probably the recipient of your parents' taxi services for most of your life. Now, you can return the favor. Offer to take them to where they need to go, especially if they are aging and driving has become difficult for them. Even if they are still able to drive well, having someone offer to chauffeur them around is a sweet gesture. Stay respectful, especially if your parents are older. They may not like the fact that they need help driving. Asking their permission to drive them around, instead of telling them that you are, can make a big difference. As your parents age, they may be unable to take care of their home as well as they could before. Instead of having them call a handyperson to make household repairs, offer to do them yourself. If you are unable to, hire someone yourself so that your parents don't have to spend the money. Your parents may not be forthcoming about what they need help with because they don't want to burden you. Ask them directly how you can help. If they still won't tell you, do some inspecting of the home yourself, or ask other family members if they know if something needs to be done. Your parents have likely been paying for you for a long time. If you have the means, treat them when you can. Taking them out to dinner or paying for a vacation together is a great way to thank them for what they've done and to show your affection. If they are on a fixed income, try some of the following: Pay some of their bills. Buy their groceries. Cover the expenses for their pets. Work out a plan with them to help manage their finances.
A:
Tidy up the home. Offer transportation. Handle repairs. Pay for what you can.
