Article: Fortunately, foundation doesn't have to be expensive to be good. Look for a liquid foundation that's relatively creamy, and if possible, one that contains silicone. Most importantly, you want to buy a foundation that matches your skin tone. Use a cosmetic sponge to apply your foundation, and make sure that you don't put it on too thick, as that will just accentuate any wrinkles or bumps that you have. You can hold the bottle up to your neck to get a good idea of your face's skin tone. Face primer contains light diffusers and are great for diffusing light, smoothing skin, and drawing attention to all the right places. Apply face primer to your shoulders, arms, legs, and even your back to achieve a smooth, brilliant look. Instead of buying an expensive primer, consider using a little baby powder instead. Primer is typically pretty expensive, but you can usually get it at a great discounted price. You can look through your Sunday paper for sales and coupons, often combining the two for an even better deal. Buy a brown-toned bronzer while avoiding orange or metallic bronzers, which give an unnatural look. With a wide make-up brush, apply bronzer to all areas of your face and collarbone that would naturally tan first: your forehead, your cheek and jaw bones, and your nose. Lightly dust your face and collarbone with bronzer to draw attention to specific parts of your face and shoulders, while smoothing out the appearance of the rest of your face. Choose a bronzer by what color you are when you tan naturally. Bronzers usually come in three shades: light, medium, and dark. So, if you are fair complected or just don't tan much at all, you'll want a light bronzer. Bronzer is another typically expensive product. As with primer, look through your local advertisements for a sale on cosmetics.

Apply a good foundation. Rub face primer on your shoulders. Use a bronzer on your face and collarbone.
Article: Try to think of everyone who might be willing to write you a positive letter of recommendation in your particular field. Generally, places requesting letters of recommendation will ask for at least two and no more than three, but it's a good idea to think of a larger list, in case any of your ideal candidates don't work out. Try to come up with at least 5-7 possibilities. How you choose to assign "strength" to the candidates will be relative, but in general you want to find a balance between the familiarity of the letter writer with you and your work, and that letter writer's standing in the field. While you might have had a better relationship with a co-worker or a TA for one of your classes, a letter from them may be less desirable than from a supervisor or a Professor who also knows your work, but may need some reminding. Consider collecting profiles or portfolios of your work to share with potential recommenders who may be less familiar with you and what you do. This is a good way to make contact with a successful person in your field and shows initiative. The easier you make their job, the more likely the candidate will be to do you the favor.
