Is it healthy to wear make up?
Most makeup contains chemicals that are not safe when left on the skin. It is important to use a makeup remover and wash your face thoroughly after wearing makeup to protect your skin.
Some makeup is made from natural minerals, sometimes including Vitamin E. This makeup is actually great for your skin. It moisturizes and doesn't block pores unlike chemical-based makeup. You should still wash your face after wearing it to prevent it from smearing on anything else or leaving any residue when you apply it again the next morning (and just to promote good skin care) but the effects on your skin range from harmless all the way to acne-fighting.

What is the best lip and blush color for light to medium skin tone and light brown hair?
I really can't give specific recommendations without knowing your natural eye color, natural hair color, and undertone of your skin, since there are many kinds of brown-skinned people that look good in different colors.
If you have black hair and dark brown, green, or blue eyes, are are of European, African, middle-eastern, or east Indian decent, you would probably look best with gray, blue, or purple eyeshadow, rosy blush, and dark cool reds for the lip.
If you have black or brown hair and brown eyes, and are of native American or east Asian descent, you may look better with brown or gray eye shadow, coral or salmon blush, and brownish-reds for the lip.
If you have light hair and are deeply tanned, with blue or green eyes, you should try blue or lavender eye shadow, rose blush, and rose lips. If you have hazel or brown eyes, you should try tan or rose eyeshadow, coral blush, and coral lips.
Basically, if your hair and eyes are cool and your skintone is ashy or rosy, use cool colors. If your hair and eyes are warm and your skintone is coppery or golden, use warm colors. With brown skin, you'll probably look best in medium to dark colors, unless your skin is brown because of tanning.
AnswerHi there! I hope I can help you, since I seem to have the same tone with you. For darker skinned people, like us, you want to use more natural colors. Bright pinks, purples, and corals may look good on others, but don't really compliment our skin. I like using a light dusty brown for my eyes. WARNING: If you put too much on, it will look like you put brown eye liner all over your eyes. Just softly tap the brush into the eye shadow and brush it across your eye lid. I don't like to really put very much eye shadow above my eye lid. Second, for lip colors I hardly use anything. Something with a little touch of a fruity red will look good on our lips. But not like a coral red, or red red. Lots of lip colors don't seem to stand out and looks as good on darker skinner people than lighter skinned. Some of my make-up suggestions are: Bronze Goddess eyeshadow by Estee Lauder. Backstage Beauty Browns by Bonne Bell. Good luck!You can also try on different shades and styles of makeup just by uploading a picture of yourself with Oxygen's MakeoverMatic tool. It's really cool and has tons of choices.

Does chlorine damage finger and toenail polish?
Chlorine, because it is a chemical, can fade or chip finger and toe nail polish. To lessen the chance of your nail polish chipping, make sure to apply a clear topcoat before and after you paint your nails. And, once you get out of the pool, dry off your nails with a towel to keep the chlorine from sinking in. Hope this helps!
What color of eye makeup looks best on blondes?
Since brown eyes are, well, brown, they would stand out best in semi-dark to dark colors like black, dark gray, or brown. On sunny days, pick a dark yellow shadow to make your eyes shine (glitter eyeshadows rock!). For an added effect, pair it with eyeliner or mascara.

The nice thing about brown eyes is you can wear any shade of shadow you want. (All the fashion websites say the same thing.)
Now...the BEST color of eyeshadow there is, without question, is MAC Amber Lights. It's a shimmery gold. Apply it from the lashline to the brow, then put a medium shade that goes along with your outfit on your lids and either a darker shade of that same color, or a dark brown, in the crease and on the outer half of your eyes between the crease and the brow. Put it between the middle of your pupil and the outer end of your eyebrow. It looks awesome.
What can we use instead of an eyeliner brush?
If you want to put eyeliner on your bottom lash line, I suggest pencil eyeliner. And if you want to put eyeliner on your top lashes, use liquid eyeliner because it lasts longer, but you need practice and a steady hand for it to come out good (:
Why it is important to position a client correctly when applying makeup?
So it'll be easier for you to work on the client, and more comfortable for the client to sit still for the service.
