In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Invest in a good liquid makeup remover or box of cleansing pads. Most makeup removers contain oils and other solutions that are very effective at dissolving caked on cosmetics. Simply wipe your lips clean if you're using a pad, or wet a paper towel to apply a liquid product. Modern makeup removers are formulated to get the job done without relying on harsh chemicals, but buying name brand cleansers might cost you more. Be careful not to ingest liquid makeup removers when using them near your mouth. Look into exfoliating products that are designed specifically to be used on the lips. Scoop up about a dime-sized amount of the exfoliant with your finger and gently scrub away at the lipstick. Lip polishes and scrubs are the beauty equivalent of taking sandpaper to an old coat of paint. If you're looking for a homemade, natural lip exfoliant recipe, try combining a tablespoon of brown sugar with a couple ounces of raw honey. This is a time-honored removal method among lipstick devotees. Dip a cotton swab into a jar of Vaseline or Aquaphor. Coat your lips with a generous amount of the jelly and allow it to sit for a minute or two. After it's had time to work, you'll be able to wipe away your lip color as easily as if it were never there. Petroleum jelly is an alternative to more specialized makeup remover products that you can find at the corner drugstore or in your own medicine cabinet. As an added benefit, products like Vaseline and Carmex make excellent moisturizers. Take the holistic approach and use coconut oil in place of chemical-based removers. This potent miracle product will melt the color right off your kisser, making it one of the most effective and least labor-intensive home remedies yet discovered. Best of all, it can be bought in large quantities for cheap almost anywhere, and has multiple uses. Rub the semi-solid coconut oil between your fingers until it becomes a liquid, then slather it directly onto your lips. Let it sit for a few moments before wiping it away. With its recent explosion in popularity, coconut oil can be readily found at most supermarkets and specialty grocers.
Summary: Use a standard makeup remover. Deep clean your lips with an exfoliant. Spread on some petroleum jelly. Buy a bottle of coconut oil.

Encourage your friends to hang out together, even if they have dates. This will help your awkward friends feel more comfortable with their dates and give you plenty of people to talk to. For example: Encourage everyone to sit around the same table. Guide your friend group towards the buffet so you can eat while you talk. Drag your friends and their dates onto the dance floor when "your song" starts playing. This is the perfect opportunity to get to know your single friends better. You'll have much more fun laughing, eating, and dancing with friends than you would with a date you barely know. Additionally, you won't have to suffer through any awkward slow dances. If your prom has a photo booth, consider taking date-style pictures with your single friends. These hilarious photos will be treasured mementos when you're older. . Even if you don't have a date, you can have a great time dancing. Dance with your friends, with your best friend and their date, or alone. If you know how to dance well, show off your moves! If not, you can still have fun by trying your best or dancing badly on purpose. Remember that everyone feels self-conscious while dancing. They'll be too busy thinking about themselves to pay attention to any dancing mistakes you make. You don't need to avoid your close friends just because they have a date. In fact, they may appreciate having a familiar face around while they're making awkward conversation with their date. To help you relax, think of the event as a large group of people instead of a lot of different couples. Make an effort to talk to your friends' dates. This will help you get to know them better. Some of your friends may have come with boyfriends or longtime crushes. Throughout the night, there may be several moments when they'll want alone time. Make an effort to recognize these moments and give them space to avoid wearing out your welcome. For example: Avoid interrupting couples that are kissing. If you see a couple arguing, don't get involved. If your friend is slow dancing with their date, give them some space.

Problem: Article: Without the benefit of hindsight, it's often quite difficult to know what's motivating the other person or what they truly feel or think about you. Rather than assume they must just hate you, allow for the possibility that you're projecting feelings that may not be there. Understand that they're just as human as you are. Everyone has struggles in their lives that contribute to how they act--it's entirely possible your enemy is antagonistic because of difficulties they're struggling with. Learn from the quote often attributed to Abraham Lincoln: "I don't like that man. I must get to know him better." Pay close attention to the people who get along with your enemy. Learn from how they handle the dynamic to gain insight into what may not be working between you and your enemy and why. If it's a kind of behavior you're comfortable emulating, try picking up tips from your observations to see if you can rejigger the tenor of you and your enemy's relationship. Knowing what they're trying to achieve is crucial to dealing with the problem. Are they jealous of something you have? Did you (consciously or unconsciously) slight them in some way? Do you do something that annoys them? Knowing what's driving their behavior can help you get out in front of their negative behavior and possibly blunt the effect their actions have on you. When you know what's motivating the person's behavior, you can begin to address it. You'll have two options: improve the relationship or learn how to limit their effect on you. If it's an issue of a small habit or behavior you have that irritates them, you can consider not doing those things around them or sitting down with them to explain your behavior and help them accept it. If it's a more serious issue or you simply can't figure out what their problem is, confront them about it. Nothing shuts down misconceptions or bad feelings like addressing them head-on. Apologize if it's warranted. If you did something either knowingly or unknowingly to upset them, apologize sincerely (and don't do it again) so you can both move on. Talk to the person calmly and coolly. Don't accuse or antagonize, just have an honest conversation. Even if your enemy says rude or insensitive things about you, your friends, or your family, don't give them the satisfaction of seeing it upset you. In these situations, your enemy is simply looking for a reaction, and when they get one it will only encourage them to continue the behavior. If you want it to stop, start by ignoring them and their comments. Don't listen to or spread rumors; it only perpetuates the problem. The more emotionally engaged you become, the more power you're giving to your enemy. Avoid them. Limit your contact with them as much as possible. Sometimes distance is enough to diffuse the situation. Nothing balances the negative impact of an enemy like having allies. The more people you have on your side and who see you as kind, helpful, respectful, etc., the less impact any potential enemy sabotage can have on you. When you're tempted to say something negative about your enemy, turn that energy around and instead say something nice to another person. Spreading positivity rather than negativity will give you the advantage over your enemy.
Summary:
Know the limits of your knowledge. Learn from others. Find out what they want. Decide how to respond. Don't encourage their behavior. Cultivate allies.
