Ooh! Use a Q-tip to draw a line down the center of your nose, right above your cupid's bow, and on the tip of your chin!

This is great! One word of caution: do NOT use a shimmer-y product to accentuate your hollows. It will have the opposite effect of what you are looking for, especially in pictures. You want your main contour powder/cream to be MATTE. Unless you have a very warm complexion/under tone, you should be looking for matte

Looks like I'm late to the party, but I'll add my experience to the mix. We honeymooned in the Dominican Republic in October of 2012. We both took two weeks off work, and planned to spend a week in a resort and a week visiting his parents in the capital of Santo Domingo.

YES!! I always wonder about this. I usually will throw a $5 their way, because from what I understand they make next to nothing while they're in training. But definitely curious to know what the professionals would recommend!

I typically tip 20% for decent service, but often tip more if the service was great. I also like round numbers...because I'm neurotic... So, for a $40 pedi, I'll tip $10.

Interesting! I had a similar issue with They're Real. I don't understand how people's lashes could be that different. Maybe it's an issue with consistency of the product/production?

Absolutely! Also as mentioned by others, you really do need to step up your sunscreen game.

What kind of blue is it? Like a navy? I'm intrigued!

Did you try the waterproof one?

MASCARA: I am ride or die for Dior's Iconic Waterproof mascara. It never clumps, doesn't flake, delivers major length, and you can apply several coats without getting that spider-leg effect. Seriously, I recommend it to everyone. It's way better than any other mascara I have ever tried—both expensive and drugstore

Ha, so that's what it reminds me of! (I kind of like it though!)

I would check out Aveeno's line or maybe Clinique, depending on how much you want to spend. Both of those lines are geared towards people with sensitive skin and tend not to be highly perfumed.

oh absolutely—it's not the greatest at removing makeup. I usually begin my evening routine with a makeup remover face wipe (Neutrogena) and then wash up after that. I'm partial to Urban Decay's 24-7 liquid eyeliner, and Mario Badescu barely even makes a dent in that stuff.

Oh, the wipes, btws. Not the stuff in the bottle!

Haha, I like your style! I actually use Neutrogena make-up remover for that/to take off make up before washing. In my experience, they're the most effective without being too stripping or smelling too much. For a while I was using "Yes to Cucumbers" face wipes, but I had a bad reaction and my derm recommended the

I also get called ma'am at times! I choose to see it as a deferential sign of respect ;-)

I don't know, all of my friends at least have fine lines (not to sound like a total bitch who judges her friends...I'm not I swear!). Sounds like you may also be blessed in the genes department :-) I do think a lot of it is genetics and sun exposure (less about the products). My mom hadn't even been religious with

I don't know a lot of Mario Badescu's line, but I like the green wash because it's more like a gel and very gentle and non-foaming. I'll have to look into the ingredients!

Depends on how my skin is doing... If I'm feeling dry or just normal, I will use Mario Badescu's green enzyme cleaner (mid-range price wise). If I'm especially oily/breaking out I use neutrogena's acne wash for sensitive skin—it's the green one.

Re: the Hair rule, I've heard some variant of that, but never as young as 30. And to that rule, I'd give a very haughty "whatevs."
