Should Tweens be able to wear makeup?
I wouldn't recommend it. Children's skin is very sensitive, putting on makeup at a young age can cause reactions to the skin, causing rashes, pimples/breakouts, etc. If you need to put make up on children then there are brands that cater for younger skin, and contain gentler products that wont damage/irritate the skin.
How can you pierce your lip without it hurting or numbing it?
Piercing your lip generaly should not hurt, I have had mine done 3 times, and none by a professional, just use a propper needle and clean the area before and after piercing, it will crust up, and you have a 1 in 3 chance of getting an infection, but if you clean it at least twice a day, you should be fine. So enjoy your piercing :)
*If it's your first, other than ear, piercing, then you may wish to get a professional, in which case, ask to see their health certificts!!! and more importantly, make sure you see them taking the needle out of the previously un-opened needle, if it has been opened previously, LEAVE! *
AnswerWELL THERE IS ALWAYS HAVING IT DONE BY A DOCTOR OF SOME SORT THAT CAN USE AN ANESTHESIA TO NUMB THAT AREA OF YOUR MOUTH WHILE THEY PIERCE IT OR YOU CAN ASK THE PIERCER (HOPEFULLY PROFESSIONAL) IF THEY HAVE A WAY TO NUMB IT OR AT LEAST TAKE YOUR MIND OFF OF IT WHILE IT IS BEING DONE.
AnswerFirst of all, piercings hurt. You are getting a needle jabbed through your skin, its going to hurt.
When I got my lip, it didn't really hurt until the jewelry was going in. When the needle goes through its like a sharp pain, then my face got hot.
My face gets hot when I get any piercing, ears, brows, and lip. I don't know if its just me or if its normal.
Some places I know will numb a tongue for the piercing, I'm not sure about other. There are places on the internet you can buy numbing cream, though.
AnswerTo be honest, my lip didn't hurt at all when I had it done, because it's only 16 gauge, which is pretty small. I barely felt the needle go through and it definitely wouldn't be worth numbing. So even if you want a thicker gauge than that but don't want the pain, get a thin one done and then stretch it.
If you want the piercing that much, pain shouldn't be a problem anyway, but I swear down it didn't hurt as the needle was so fine, and it did not feel like a needle goin through my lip at all! Bit sore now (3 days after) but not as sore as my earlobes were.
ANSWER
I numbed mine, but it got infected and i had to let it grow up.So, go get it done .
Another Answer!when i got mine done, not so long back, my piercer put some numbing agent on the inside of my lip where i was getting it done, and on the outside.
The outside bit hurt a little bit cos the numbing stuff dribbled, lol, obviously, but even so it only felt like a little pin prick.
MY ANSWER!i've done this 5 times. it does not hurt. you always have to start on the inside. numb it with origel or ice. and even if you don't numb it, it still won't hurt really.
it only hurts to start on the outside. it also hurts when you have pierced through each layer and you're about to reach the outer layer. but ALWAYS clean the needle with peroxide or alcohol before you start.
wipe your lip with peroxide or alcohol also before starting. you can use a safety pin or a sewing needle if you want to. do it slowly and don't just shove it in. that would make it hurt. make sure you are doing it in the right spot or you could strike a blood vessel. it might squirt out puss and if you do it in the wrong spot, it will bleed.
if you do it in the right spot, it will ooze puss. a harder part is getting it out. it might swell up for two minutes if it is not infected. it will look like a bee sting but go down really really quick. maybe in three minutes. but to give you a heads up, the needle has to be wider at the top than it is at the point. that will make the whole wide enough for a ring. the hole will close in a few seconds if you don't hurry to put a ring in.
DO NOT CLEAN WITH ALCOHOL. Yeash. It's the worst thing to do. If you're going to do it, do it right. Get a sterilized needle. Don't use a sewing needle, or a safety pin. Trust me. I have my lip pierced four times, and I did it with a safety pin. Dumbest thing I've ever done.
The reasons you should not attempt to pierce your self should be obvious, but for those who think it's a "DIY" project, here's some food for thought.
Infection and contraction of MRSA, HIV, Meningitis, Hepatitis and Tetanus are all very serious health issues, MRSA is an antibiotic resistant bacteria that can in most cases land the unlucky individual in the hospital (and has been responsible for serious deformities and deaths). These infections has been caused by using unsterilized equipment and materials. Sterilization is not achieved by pouring alcohol over needles and jewellery, or burning these items over a fire or exposed flame. Microorganisms live in the fine fissures and cracks in needles and jewellery and only the high temperature and pressure of a steam Autoclave can render these and many other bacteria harmless.
The above reasons alone should be enough to sway anyone from thinking they can do it themselves. Professional body piercers have years of hands on training and education to enable them to make any piercing "look simple", when in fact they are considering dozens of things when they lay out a piercing and actually do it. So consider your lack of knowledge, training and skills before you attempt to do any self piercing, once you pierce it, it's damaged tissue. This makes it even more difficult for a professional piercer to leave you with a great looking piercing when the area we have to work with is damaged by self inflicted attempts.
Is rosebud salve good for your lips?
This is an excellent product. Used by people worldwide. A must in the purses of some of the top Hollywood stars. My dad... nearly 70 years ago... sold Rosebud Salve. Our whole family uses it. Keep in mind that the Rosebud Perfume Company has increased their line to other salves and lip balms... all are excellent. I use the Rosebud Salve in a tube all the time. So impressed with the quality and uses for this product that we began selling the products nearly 5 years so. If you want to try any of the products... www.SalvesandLipBalms.com. I think you'll find them to be awesome 'stuff.' Thanks.

Where can one learn how to apply makeup professionally?
i got these tips from health guidance fnx 2 dme
Tips and Tricks to Try at Home to Get the Perfect Look
Start with a base coat, as you would any other type of makeup. Loose powder works wonders for this purpose.
Blend. Blend. Blend. That cannot be stressed nearly enough. You will be surprised at what wonders blending can do for a botched eye shadow job.
If you want a dramatic look, dip the tip of your eye shadow brush in water and then in your shadow. This makes the color deeper, more dramatic.
Choose colors that make the colors of your eyes really stand out. Brown shadow for brown eyes. Blue shadow for blue eyes and yes, green shadow for green eyes. It doesn't have to be clown-bright; subtle shading will do just fine.
Applying a lighter shadow to the inner corner of your eye and a darker color from the middle of your lid to the outside can help your eyes appear bigger, and further apart. This is great for people who are self conscious about the closeness of their eyes together.
If you wear glasses, learn how to apply eye shadow accordingly. This means that you should keep the drama to a low roar, staying away from dark liners and smoky shadows.
Go through your makeup and toss out old shadows every six months or so. Old shadows don't apply as well as newer ones do.
Learning how to apply eye shadow properly is not always the easiest thing to do, especially for those out there who don't really deal too much with makeup in the first place. If you aren't entirely sure of what you are doing in the first place, try and get in some practice time a few days before the actual event in question takes place, so you can get some advice if need be and take things from there.
Learning to put on eye shadow is not as difficult as it looks, but it does take some time and practice. Getting tips from a professional would be my next recommendation if you are serious about getting spectacular life-changing results. The winks and whistles as you walk down the street is what awaits you. So what are you waiting for? Grab your makeup and get going!
How do you remove nail varnish from clothes?

How do you apply make up naturally?
There are only two main things that make makeup look natural
the first is color: use colors in your makeup that are only one or two shades darker than your natural color

If you want makeup to look natural, then stick to foundation just to even out your skin tone and reduce the look of red patches

How do you look good without makeup?
Everyone thinks im "really" pretty. (im not self centered.) this is what i do:
I wear shirts and pants that flatter me. if ur skinny, you can wear tight. If ur meduim, u can wear tight. if ur large, wear something tight, and maybe a cute jacket? (im skinny) for face, I wash my face every morning with Neutragena (the CVS brand) Pink grapefruit wash. its like 2 bucks. I try to change my hair every day. I wear it in ponytails, down, i curl it, and sometimes straighten it so i can get the "pin straight"look. I also put my hair in a poof and leave it down, and put it in a poof and then put my hair in a pony. try hairstyles that make U look good! just because Selena looked good, that doesnt mean you will. Make sure u feel pretty with ur style. i also try to make my outfits original. that doesnt really work tho. on the bus, i chew gum to make my breath cleaner. (sometimes i use a WaterPik and that helps clean my teeth) Many people have crushed on me, but i hope its not cause of my looks. now that ur glamorous, SHOW UR CONFIDENCE! when people say i like ur hair, dont say "o. thanks." say "Thanks! it took me a while." then compliment them. People who are pretty are also pretty on the inside. Also, its shown that when smiling, you look more attractive.
I hope I helped! I dont really have that much at my house to make myself pretty. I just live with what I have! + wear some cute earrings that match ur outfit. accesories are great! (just be TOO matchy matchy!)
How old should a girl be to wear makeup?
It depends on what age you're comfortable wearing it. However, there are some limits. For example, heavy duty makeup would look out of place on a 10-year-old. I would say around 12 or 13 is the usual age for beginners, but remember, it's not like there's some rule that says "This is the makeup age." Ask your parents or friends for their opinion as well.
Who are the competitors of benefit cosmetics?
