Article: An easy way to make yourself appear paler is to wear black clothing or other dark colors. Dark clothing creates contrast so that your skin looks lighter by comparison. It's an easy way to instantly look paler and more dramatic. This does not mean that you have to dress up like a goth. You can create a casual appearance by pairing a black shirt with blue jeans. You don't have to wear all black. Put the focus on your shirt, as this is where you will have the most skin exposed (neck, arms, face, etc.). If you are willing to dramatically change your appearance, dying your hair a dark brown or black, or even a deep maroon or purple, will make your skin look paler. Because your hair frames your face, a dark hair color provides the perfect backdrop to make your face look paler by comparison. If you don't want to dye your hair, consider getting a wig instead. This is great for a temporary look. Keep in mind that hair dye is permanent. Even if you use temporary dye, there is a chance that it might stain your hair, especially if it is blonde. It's well known that wearing black or brown eyeliner helps to emphasize eye and skin contrast, but if you don't want to wear makeup, wearing colored contacts can also be a good solution. If you have blue eyes, consider wearing brown contact lenses to heighten contrast and make your skin appear paler. If you already have to wear contacts, consider getting prescription contacts instead. Be sure to practice proper hygiene when wearing contacts. Never leave them in overnight.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Wear dark clothing. Dye your hair a dark color. Wear dark contacts.
Article: If you want a totally smooth look without wearing a thong or skipping the panties altogether, consider wearing shapewear under your clothes. These undergarments typically extend to your mid thigh, so there will not be a panty line. They also suck in unwanted bulges, and they're available in a variety of styles for different body types and different outfits. You can wear panties under your shapewear or not, depending on your personal preferences. If you just want to smooth out your butt, upper thighs, and/or lower stomach, you can buy panty-style shapewear. For more coverage, you can opt for a pant-style that extends further down your legs or a bodysuit-style that covers your upper body (except your chest) as well. Shapewear should not be used to attempt to fit into a smaller size of clothing. If it feels overly restrictive or you begin to experience numbness or tingling, your shapewear is too tight. If shapewear isn't for you, you may be able to get the same benefits from a pair of tights or pantyhose. Wear a pair under your pants or with a skirt for a smooth look. As with shapewear, you do not need to wear underwear under your tights or pantyhose if you don't want to. The choice is up to you. You can buy high-waisted styles if you want some coverage over your stomach, although tights will never give you as much control as shapewear. If you're wearing a skirt or dress, consider wearing a slip or half slip underneath. This old-school accessory can help you achieve the seamless look you want. A full slip covers your entire torso and the upper parts of your legs, and is meant to be worn with a dress. A half slip covers only your butt and upper legs, and is meant to be worn with a skirt. Many slips contain some lycra, which helps shape your body and prevents the garment from bunching. If you are looking for a little extra control, you can also find shapewear in slip styles. Try to match the color of your slip to your dress or skirt as much as possible. This will make the slip less visible if it ever peeks out from under your clothes. Make sure your slip is always shorter than any slits in your dress or skirt. Avoid slips with lace details, as this may show through your clothing. To avoid static cling between your slip and your garment, try gently pulling each item through a wire hanger before you put it on.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Try shapewear. Wear tights. Consider a slip.
Article: The amaryllis should lose its foliage as the summer ends and autumn begins. When this begins to happen, start giving the plant slightly smaller quantities of water, but do not allow the soil to dry out completely. Trim the yellow or brown leaves once they have withered by cutting them off next to the neck of the bulb. Allow living green leaves to remain on the plant. Once the weather is cooler and most of the leaves have died, bring the amaryllis indoors. Place the pot in a cool, dark area between 40 and 50F (510C), such as a basement. If you do not have a suitable area for a pot, you may carefully remove the bulb and roots from the soil and place it in the crisper (vegetable drawer) of a refrigerator. Always bring the amaryllis in before the first frost, which typically occurs at 32F or 0C night temperature. If storing in your refrigerator, do not store fruit in your refrigerator at the same time. Many fruits, especially apples, release chemicals that can sterilize your amaryllis bulb. Leave the amaryllis in the cool, dark environment for at least six weeks. Do not water it during this time, but do remove any remaining leaves as they die. This is the bulb's dormant period, and the plant must experience this in order to bloom again. If you want the amaryllis to rebloom by a particular date, such as Christmas, remove the bulb from the cool area at least six weeks before that day.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Reduce watering gradually as the leaves die. Remove the dead leaves. Bring the plant to a cool indoor area. Leave the bulb alone for 68 weeks. Move on to the next section after 68 weeks.
