Response to Ref 443. Melanie, When and where do you breakout? Is your skin oily? Do not use a moisturizer under your makeup. Apply a light dusting of loose powder over your makeup and press with a tissue. When oil appears press with a tissue gently so you don't remove the makeup.

I went to the doctor and found out I had fried my head with the dye. I looked like a chemo therapy patient. I am only 16 years old and to think I was already suffering from hair loss. It was really scary, My hair is growing back though afterfive months, blood tests and a special shampoo to make my hair grow. I was wondering can I ever dye my hair again? I am thinking about getting into the acting buissness and want to be versatile. Please E-mail me at Dramafreek@yahoo.com I would really appreaciate your help in this matter. All the Hair care proffessionals I went to when I cut my hair shorter looked at my hair with discust and fright! Thank you for your help.

Gloria
Ref 463. I was wondering if you've ever used MAC's concealer or Laura Mercier's foundations, and if so, what you think of them?
van-horn.4@osu.edu

Gloria

Response to Ref 465. Marie, your question is a book. I do have 2 chapters in my book that cover all your questions. If you want to have a natural look stay with the neutral a shade darker or lighter than your hair color. Do you have small, large or deep set eyes? The application is different for all of these.

Response to Ref 466. Sarah, cut a sample of your hair quick, keep it in a safe place - it will be your hair colorist's guide to putting some highlights in your hair later on. Just keep your hair healthy and shiney. It is so important to use a no smudge brown mascara. I do have one under my label.
Gloria

Ref 470. Gloria hi im 16 a female and I shaved my arms because they were hairy, they look fine untill I get the goss bumps. And I tried that bleach stuff for arm hair and that didnt look right and pluss I got a rash from the bleach this was like 2 mounths ago and I still have the rash! What could I do about my arms and should I go in the doc for my rash? Is this some kind of pill I could go on fot hormons? Thanks!!
Response to Ref 470. Go to a salon that does waxing and get your arms waxed. After a couple of years the hair on your arms will be much lighter in growth.
Gloria

Every time I were foundation it always seems to be to dark and it appears orangish. It doesn't blend well with my skin, but I really need to wear it to cover up my blemishes. During the winter I have a very med. complection. Right now I am using Cover Girls creamy natural foundation and it almost seems to dark. What color and what kind of foundation would you recommend for me?
Response to Ref 475. Use a water base foundation and match the color perfectly to your skin color; let's get your blemishes cleared up.
Gloria
Ref 476. Dear gloria,
What can I do to keep my teeth nice and white.
Response to Ref 476. There are a number of teeth whiteners on the market. I use them from time to time. Tea, coffee and smoking stain the teeth.
Gloria
Ref 477. Gloria, Hi I am 18 and I have a problem. My face breaks out quite frequently. I eat a well balanced diet. I don't eat any junk food. I wash my face twice a day and have used acne products to prevent from breaking out. I was hoping that by the time I was 18 I wouldn't have to bother with this problem. Can you please tell me why this is and how I can correct this problem. Thanks for your help and and your time!
Response to Ref 477. What part of your face do you breakout and when? Let's find the root cause. Email again.
Gloria
Ref 478. I'am a dark brown-skinned African American. I had clear skin when I was younger, but it seems the older I got the more my oily skin is becoming a problem.
When I had a curl my skin broke out like mad and the scars are still apparent. What can I use to tone my skins and what kind of make up do I use because make up sweats off my oily skin.
Response to Ref 478. There are powder makeups on the market. I find it intriguing that you are getting more oily as you age. You may be eating something that is causing the oiliness.
Gloria

6 weeks ago, my skin is very dry and flakes alot what should I be doing to make it like new again?

Gloria
Ref 483. Dear Gloria,
Hi! I am a fifteen year old young lady who has a big problem. I am a touch overweight and that is all people seem to notice about me. I would really like your advice on how I can bring out my three best features. They are my dark blue eyes, my thick lips, and my blonde hair. I already wear makeup, but people still don't notice me. I have a lot of friends and they don't make fun of me, but I would like them to think I am half way decent looking. Is there anything you can suggest for me to do to bring out my best features? Please help me!!
Thank You,
Tammey NC
Response to Ref 483. Tammey, your attitude and beliefs about yourself are telegraphed to everyone. Most people will simply return your thoughts about yourself. Use a light colored gloss on your lips and groom your hair, I don't know how anyone could miss your eyes.
Gloria
Ref 484. Dear Gloria,
I am 15 years old and i don't like wearing foundation and blush all the time,so I was wondering if there is any face lotions you would recommend for normal/oily skin that
gives your skin a "glow"?(I heared oil-of-olay beauty fluid?????)
Response to Ref 484. Use a water base foundation and some translucent powder on the area under the blush.
Gloria
Ref 485. Dear Gloria,
I have medium/dark blonde hair that is higlighted with light golden blonde. This summer, i would like to try lemon juice or sun-in to lighten my hair so that i do not have to go to the salon, but still get the sun-streaked look. Do you have any tips, advice or recommendations about these products. My hair is long, fine and in fairly good condition.
Response to Ref 485. Lemon juice was one of the first hair and skin lighteners. Also make a strong tea with camomile flowers (find in health food stores) and use it for your last rinse, leave it in and let your hair dry in the sun.
Gloria
Ref 486. Dear Gloria,
Do you have any recomendations for tinted moisturizers or very light-weight foundations for normal/oily, fair complexioned skin? Could you tell me anything about Ultima II's "Glowtion"?
Thanx,
TY
Response to Ref 486. Ty, There are a number of tinted powdered makeups on the market. If your skin is oily you don't need to put more on.
Gloria
Ref 487. Dear G,
Do you know about any drugstore brands of makeup that have tinted moisturizers or liquid blush?
Thank you,
H.R.L
Response to Ref 487. HRL, refer the 486.
Gloria
Ref 505. i seldom use makeup and now I'm 19, I hope to use them to make myself prettier. How do i know what color to choose and how to apply them? Do department stores like Macy's have beauty counter to help me? If so, do they charge? Thanks!
Response to Ref 505. You can always go to the department store for a makeup application. It is really important to find your own best colors so you are not a slave to the color of the year, which is what is being sold in the department store. Check my book "Grow Young," there is a step by step chapter on how to find your skin tone and your best colors for clothes and makeup. Or you could also find a color consultant in your area to do your color.
Gloria
Ref 507. I was wondering wich would be the best ways to pluck your eyebrows.
Response to Ref 507. Shape them slowly and one brow hair at a time so you can see the change of the shape. Clean from underneath first to lift the brow.
Gloria
Ref 510. Hi I'm 15. I have really big scares on my face . I am so embarrassed.
I was wondering if you could recomend an antedote.Thankyou
Sincerely,
Ariel Rain
Response to Ref 510. Ariel, You can find a makeup to cover the scar, it takes practice. Or later you may want to have laser surgery.
Gloria
Ref 511. Gloria, I have freckles and they suck. Does the Jan Brady concotion of lemon juice really make them go away, or is that just a TV show thing. Is there anything I can do to get them away without makeup?
Response to Ref 511. Lemon juice is a very old remedy when there were no cosmetics with substances to peel and fade specific dark spots. The sun activates the pigment, wear sun screen and stay out of direct sun.
Gloria
Ref 512. Hi Gloria,Im 17 and i have medium brown hair color.I would
like to die my hair bloned.What is a not so expenceive but
a good die to use?
Response to Ref 512. Do not dye your hair yourself unless you have a lot of time to let it grow out or lots of money to have it fixed by a hair colorist.
Gloria
Ref 513. What is the best taning lotion to use?
Response to Ref 513. Use a sun screen that works with your skin type. When the skin tans that is the first sign that the skin is being damaged.
Gloria
Ref 514. HELLO Gloria!
I have a few big birth marks that look like a rash.
is there any way to get rid of them?
Response to Ref 514. I need to know more about the rash, is it a color that stays or does it come and go. If it is red, a green toner under your makeup will cover or soften the redness.
Gloria
