Problem: Article: Illuminator is great for making skin appear brighter, but it can be unflattering on certain skin types. If you have large pores, scarring, or fine lines, the look of them can be exacerbated by illuminator. Hyperpigmentation can also be made more apparent by illuminator unless you know how to cover it with concealer. Although these skin types aren't ideal for illuminator, anyone can make illuminator work for them with the right makeup application. You can go to a makeup artist to teach you the best makeup application for your skin type. You can also search YouTube videos for makeup tutorials. Liquid illuminator is ideal for a day-to-day look because it gives a softer glow. It is also a good choice because it can be mixed in with your foundation for a mild, yet summery glow.Plus, it is better for dry skin. Powder illuminator is usually long-lasting and more dramatic. A powder is ideal for evening and wedding looks. You can also combine the powder with a liquid illuminator for a very bright shine. Gold, rose gold, and bronze shades of illuminator bring out the radiant warmth in darker skin tones. Experiment with any of these shades to see what looks most natural on your skin. A frosty or silver illuminator could work, but there is a risk of it bringing out gray tones in the skin. A pearly or opalescent shade of illuminator is great for fair skin tones because it brings out the skin's natural radiance. If you apply enough of the illuminator, it will look like a sun beam is bouncing off of your cheek. Try a light pink illuminator if you're looking for a warmer glow.
Summary: Decide if illuminator is right for your skin type. Go with liquid illuminator for a soft, natural-looking glow. Choose a powder illuminator for a long-lasting finish. Use a golden or bronze illuminator for olive or darker skin tones. Try a pearly or pink illuminator for fair skin.

Problem: Article: Starches offer a low-fat, simple thickening alternative for sauces that is especially suitable for beginning cooks. You can even add a dash of herbs or spices to starch slurries to make them more flavorful. Starch thickeners are mostly flavorless, but they can give sauces an artificial sheen, making them less popular for stews or meat gravies. Cornstarch is inexpensive, readily available, and best for dairy-based sauces. Do not use cornstarch if you plan on freezing a sauce for later use, however, as cornstarch creates a spongy texture in sauce upon freezing. Combine 1 tablespoon (8 g) of cornstarch with 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of cold water in a small bowl. With a whisk, blend them together until smooth. Gradually whisk the mixture into your cooked sauce that needs thickening. Continue stirring and cooking the sauce over medium to medium-high heat. Bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, and stir the sauce for an additional two minutes, allowing the cornstarch to completely finish cooking and thickening. If you don't cook your starches, they can leave an aftertaste in your sauce. The longer you cook your sauce or soups, though, the better the flavor will be. Arrowroot is best for more acidic sauces, but avoid mixing arrowroot with dairy. However, you can use arrowroot when cooking with acidic dairy products like buttermilk. Arrowroot starch gives liquids a glossy appearance, making it especially desirable for dessert sauces or reductions. In a small bowl, mix equal parts of the arrowroot starch with cold water, whisking thoroughly to beat out any lumps. Add the arrowroot mixture to the already hot liquid and cook for 30 seconds at medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Remove the sauce from the heat, and allow it to finish thickening as it stands. If you are cooking pasta, potatoes, or another type of starch to go with your meal, set aside a cup of the water that you used to cook your starch. Working a spoonful at a time, stir your starch water into your simmering sauce, soup, or other liquid. Continue this process until you get your desired thickness.
Summary: Use cornstarch in sauce. Use arrowroot starch to thicken liquids. Add starch water to sauces and soups.

Problem: Article: While it might be best to let the diarrhea resolve on its own, you may want to slow down the diarrhea using medication. You can take over-the-counter medications like bismuth subsalicylate or a fiber (psyllium) supplement. Adults can take 2.5 to 30g of psyllium a day in divided doses. Bismuth subsalicylate can be used to treat "traveler's diarrhea" and contains mild antibacterial properties. Psyllium is safe to take during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. For vomiting associated with food poisoning, gastroenteritis and most other non-serious causes, take 10004000 mg of ginger (in four divided doses throughout the day. For example, take 2501000 mg four times a day. Ginger has been used to treat nausea and vomiting of many different causes including chemotherapy-induced nausea, and the nausea of early pregnancy. Studies have shown ginger to be effective at relieving post-surgical nausea. It inhibits or suppresses certain types of brain and gut receptors that are related to the sense of nausea. Wash fresh ginger and cut off a two-inch piece. Peel the tan colored "skin" or peel to get to the pale ginger. Cut or grate it into small pieces to get a tablespoon. Add the ginger to two cups of boiling water. Cover the pot and boil it for another minute. Turn off the heat and let the ginger tea steep for three to five minutes. Pour into a cup and add honey if you like. Drink four to six cups of ginger tea a day. Use fresh ginger, not ginger ale. Most ginger ales do not contain real ginger and contain high levels of sweetener. You should avoid sweeteners while nauseous because sugar generally makes you feel worse. While more research is needed, some herbs are believed to reduce viral or bacterial infections that cause nausea. If anything, herbal teas may simply let you relax and minimize your sense of nausea. To make herbal teas, add 1 teaspoon of dried powder or leaf and steep it in 1 cup of boiled water. You can add honey and lemon to taste. Use the following: Peppermint Clove Cinnamon Take peppermint or lemon essential oil and place a drop of oil on both of your wrists and temples. Both peppermint and lemon oil have been traditionally used to treat nausea. Studies suggest that these oils reduce nausea by relaxation or by influencing the part of the brain that controls nausea. Make sure you don't have a skin sensitivity. Either put a single drop of oil on your wrist. If you have a sensitivity, you may experience a rash, redness or itching. If so, try the other oil or another method. Only use essential oils, since candies or scents probably don't have real peppermint or lemon oil and are unlikely to have high enough levels of the oil to be helpful. Lie flat on your back and place pillows under your knees and neck for comfort. Put your hands palm down on your stomach below the rib cage. Place the fingers of your hands together so you can feel them separate. This will let you know you are doing the exercise correctly. Take a long, slow deep breath by expanding your belly, breathing through your diaphragm instead of your rib cage. The diaphragm creates suction that pulls more air into your lungs than can be achieved by expanding the rib cage. Research has shown that controlled, deep breathing can help relieve nausea. Other studies have indicated that breathing can help control nausea after surgery.
Summary:
Take a diarrhea medication. Take a ginger supplement. Make a ginger tea. Make an herbal tea. Try aromatherapy. Practice controlled breathing.
