Article: Comb the section of hair to be trimmed, and hold it firmly between the index and middle finger of your nondominant hand. Use the razor tool in your dominant hand to gently trim away the excess hair in short strokes. Using a razor tool instead of shears will help keep your ends from looking too blunt. The effect should be feathered and soft to help your true hair blend with the extensions. It's best to trim conservatively at first. You can pause and inspect your first attempt in the mirror. Go back and trim again as necessary until it looks right to you. Then, take the brushed hair in your nondominant hand and grip firmly between your index and middle fingers. You should be holding the hair about 1 inch (2.5cm) above the ends. Notice any extra long pieces that are out of line with the overall shape of the new ends. Angle your shears so the tips are just barely pointed into the line of hair between your fingers. Trim any extra long stragglers with the scissors perpendicular to the line of hair to even out the edge. The goal should be to create a soft, polished line. Clip the rest of your hair out of the way so you can focus on these pieces. Use a gentle trimming motion to slide down the length of the hair that frames the face on both sides. You can hold the ends to provide a little resistance if necessary. The goal is to connect and blend the sides of the extensions with your polished line in the back. Doing this should create soft, face-framing layers. A blunt or trendy hairstyle with harsh lines or that removes lots of length can be difficult to achieve on yourself at home, especially with extensions. Make an appointment with your stylist for the best result, and plan to only trim your extensions yourself. Your stylist can also help install your extensions for you, if you'd prefer professional help.

Article: Victoria is usually seen with lipstick. However, she doesn't overdo the makeup, preferring a natural look. Often, you will see her wearing neutral hues on her lips, such as taupe or mauve. She sometimes wears lip gloss or lip stain, but she also wears matte makeup. Occasionally, but not as often, Victoria brightens up her lips, generally choosing dark red lipstick or a deep berry color. Choose a neutral palette. Victoria usually plays up her eyes, and she favors earthy hues when she does this. Choose eyeshadows in light and dark brown. Sweep the lighter color over the lids, and apply the darker brown color into the creases. Apply black mascara, and use kohl eyeliner in the waterline of the eyes. Victoria also has thicker, shaped brows. Waxing and threading can create a shaped look. Apply brow powder over the brows, and seal them with brow gel. She prefers what she has described as a bolder brow look. She has said she uses Telescopic mascara by L'Oreal. Use dark gel eyeliner on the top lash line, and use softer pencil liner underneath the lower lash line and in the waterline of the eye. Victoria has also said she covers up pimples with brown eyeliner, to make them look like beauty marks! Victoria is not a person you will always see with makeup caked on her face and in high heels. When she is running around doing errands, she lightens up on the makeup. She has said she will put on a little lip balm (she likes Burt's Bees Pomegranate lip balm). She curls her eyelashes. She wears a little concealer and a little blush, and that's it. Those are the makeup staples that she is never seen without. Victoria is a television star, but she has a big social media following. She has said her favorite social media platform is Instagram. She loves taking photos and sharing photos of herself, using different filters. Victoria is an active person, so her Instagram site is filled with photos of her life. However, you will often notice that she plays up her eyes in photos. They are dark black, and she uses makeup to bring them out as the dominant feature on her face.

Article: Try to do this in person instead of on the phone. Wait for him to have a few moments alone, or text him saying you need to talk to him about something and plan a time and place to meet. Having the conversation privately, especially when his girlfriend isn't around, will help you talk about your feelings without feeling pressure or extra nervousness. Avoid having this conversation over text, as you don't want his girlfriend or anyone else to find the texts and read them. You might text him, "Do you have time to grab a quick coffee this afternoon?" or go up to him when he's alone and say, "Can I talk to you for a minute?" Instead of immediately admitting your feelings, ask him about his day or talk about something you both have in common to start a more natural conversation. This will make you less nervous and help the conversation flow more naturally. You might say, "Thanks for meeting with me, I know you just had a kickball game. How did it go?" You don't need to chat about things for too long, but asking a question about his day or telling him something about yours is a good way to help you both feel more comfortable. This is your time to tell him how to feel, to get your feelings off of your chest. Be honest about how you like him, but realize that he's still in a relationship and might not give you a response. After you admit your feelings, you'll likely feel much more free to move on. You might say, "I know you have a girlfriend, but I needed you to know that I really like you. It's okay if you don't respond, I just wanted to get it off my chest." If you think you'll be able to maintain a platonic friendship even after telling him, you might say, "Even though I told you how I feel, I'd really like it if we could still be friends." Whether he says he likes you or he doesn't, it's best to set up boundaries so you don't interfere with his relationship anymore. If he does like you, make it clear to him that he needs to respect you and his girlfriend by being honest and making a choice. If he doesn't like you, distance yourself from him and avoid any flirty behavior to respect his relationship and help you move on. If he doesn't respond at all, take this as a sign that he doesn't like you back and try to move on. If he does like you, now the ball is in his court and it's his turn to make a move. For example, you might say, "Thanks for telling me how you feel. I think it would be best if we didn't talk for a while to put some space between us."
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Find a time to talk to him when he's not around others. Ease into the moment by starting with a simple conversation. Tell him your feelings honestly without expecting him to answer. Set boundaries for the two of you depending on how he responds.
