Visit a local aquarium and speak to the shark keeper. These scientists will have a vast knowledge about sharks and can answer any questions and address any concerns you have about these animals. One of the best ways to overcome your fear of sharks is to swim with them. Many aquariums offer opportunities for you to swim with sharks. This puts you in a safe, controlled environment with sharks so that you can face your fears and start to unravel the fear that all sharks are killers. Go diving or snorkeling in the ocean. Diving or snorkeling can give you a clear view of the ocean, where you can see that there are very few - if any - sharks in most ocean water, while it's full of coral, reefs, and fish. If you do swim among some sharks, you will realize that most sharks are docile creatures uninterested in humans. Wade out into the water. Go swimming. Go surfing. Take a boat trip out into the ocean. Realize that being in the water isn't going to attract a shark. Don't let your fear of sharks stop you from enjoying ocean activities. When out in the water, put your hands in the water to help you get over your fears of the unknown. If swimming with sharks or going into the ocean is too much for you, start slowly. Get close to a shark by visiting your local aquarium to check out the shark exhibit. Walk right up to the glass and look into the shark's eyes. Acclimate yourself to the sharks. Watch them, see how they act around other marine life, study how they swim and move their body. Think of them as an animal instead of a monster. If you are truly afraid of getting close to a shark even behind glass, look at pictures of sharks. Watch documentaries and programs that feature the true nature of sharks instead of painting them as cold-blooded killers. Become comfortable with the reality of sharks, then slowly progress towards seeing them at the aquarium. At stores where they sell tropical fish, they may have small sharks. Ask the employees there if you can touch a baby shark. This gives you a chance to feel its skin and interact with it. Some aquariums also have this option. This may take away a lot of your nerves about sharks. If none of these ideas work, try talking to a professional. A therapist might be able to help you get to the root of your phobia, which may be linked to some other, unrelated problem. A hypnotherapist might be able to help you overcome your fear by alternate means.

The two different types of blushes will help you achieve different looks, so it's really a personal preference which one you use. A powder blush will give you a more finished look, and can be applied with a large makeup brush. A cream blush gives you a more dewy, outdoorsy finish and is applied with a brush or your fingers. When applying cream blush, always use a smaller amount at first. You can go back and add more blush to your cheeks, but it's harder to remove excess blush than it is to add more. If you have accidentally added to much blush to your cheeks, you can blend it in or you can apply a light layer of foundation on top of it to conceal some of the color. If you want your blush to look natural, you'll need to choose the right shade of blush. If you really want your cheeks to pop, then you can choose a blush in any color. To find the most natural blush color, pinch your cheeks and try to match the color created on your cheeks with a blush color. If you are having trouble choosing the right blush color, you can follow this general guide for skin tones: Fair/ivory skin: Choose a baby pink or pale pink for your blush color. This is the most natural look for very fair skin as other shades can look orangey. For fair skin that is a little bit darker you can use a peach blush in a satin or sheer texture. If you want to go a little more dramatic for a night out, you can use a plum colored blush in a translucent shade. Choose a plum colored blush that is a shade or two darker than your lip color. Medium skin: Wear a blush that is an apricot shade, as this will bring out the natural warm colors in your skin. You can also wear a pinky-berry color; because a pale pink looks good on fair skin, a medium pink will look good on medium skin. For a more dramatic look, choose a muted mauve (pale purple) color that has a hint of plum. Olive skin: Look for warm tones like an orangey-peach, that will hide the green undertones in the skin. Wear a rose or bronze colored blush for a more dramatic look that will add warmth to your skin and help boost the olive color. If you have fair olive skin you can use these same colors, just don't apply as much blush. Dark skin: Go for bold, highly pigmented shades like raisin, brick, and cranberry. For a dramatic look, choose a bright tangerine that will be pretty and subtle on dark skin. Cream blush differs from powder blush in that it is good for dry skin as powder blush can enhance your dryness. If you have aging skin, cream blush will give you a more youthful look and adds dewiness to your skin that people tend to lose as they age. In cold climates or during cold seasons, cream blush adds moisture to your cheeks that is drawn out with the cold air so it keeps your face from looking as dry. Using cream blush in a very humid environment can be difficult because it can make your face look even more oily. If you live in an area where you experience lots of humidity or you tend to sweat a lot during the day, using a powder blush might be better because you won't need the extra moisture added to your skin.
