    No, you didn't annoy me... :) dont worry.
    HOW TO FIND SKIN TYPE
    Wash Your Face. Wash with a gentle cleanser and pat dry. Remove make-up. This cleans away oils and dirt that may have accumulated during your day, giving your skin a fresh start. Do not over wash though.


    Wait an hour. During this time, your skin should return to its natural state, the characteristics of which will determine your skin type. Act normally and, please, don't touch your face.


    Dab your face with a tissue. Pay attention to the 'T-zone'--the area of your forehead and nose.


    Determine your skin type. Skin falls into four types--normal, oily, dry and combination.


    Normal skin shows neither oil nor flaking skin. It should feel supple and smooth. If you have it, consider yourself lucky :)
    Oily skin is characterized by the grease on the tissue. It is also common for a person with oily skin to have large pores and a shine.
    Dry skin may feel taut or show flakes of dead skin. It is associated with small pores. Moisturizing is important for this skin type.
    Combination skin is most common. It exhibits traits of all three of the above skin types. Usually, the skin is oily in the T-zone and normal to dry elsewhere.

    1. For dark circles, start using a good eyecream like Himalaya or Aroma magic. You can also google some home remedies. Apply a bit of compact (since you havent used any makeup yet) around eyes before putting in kajal. Lakme eyeconic kajal does not smudge and lasts whole day.
    2. For the conditioner, you should follow the instructions on the bottle. Usually how to apply a conditioner is: Apply to only hair (not scalp) after shampooing. Wait for 2-3 minutes and wash off thoroughly with water. A conditioner is used for moisturizing hair after the shampoo has washed off all dirt/oils from the hair. It also helps in detangling and prevents hair breakage on combing.
    3.The cost of straightening increases with your hair length. I cant say if it is good or bad for hair. It depends on the hair health, the products used, the professional who is doing it, etc. There are girls who have been doing it for many years without any side effects and people who lost their hair terribly in the first time itself.. If you have long, healthy hair, get a good haircut (maybe long layers?) to make your hair look beautiful. Long hair is beautiful.
    4. For taming unruly hair you will have to use a gel/serum/mousse. Inexpensive Indian brands which work well are available in shops, so please ask an SA to help you. Or you can get only the frizzy areas of your hair "smoothened" by hair smoothening at a salon.
    5. Start wearing a lipbalm with SPF before going out. This will prevent your lips from darkening. Do some home remedies also. The kind of shades you want are called MLBB (my lips but better) shades. The look very subtle and is suitable for everyday use. Ideally ask an SA at a shop to help you. Do not but a lot of cheap products. Buy one or two good products. Revlon makes the best lippies but Lakme/Faces are good brands for beginners (starts from about 225 rupees). One such MLBB shade is Maybelline my mahogony.. Lakme, maybelline has good liners.. Glosses, Colorbar, maybelline are okay..
    6. Do not use any fairness creams. I think Olay day cream will be okay for you. Try a small sachet first. Try to buy and use a sunscreen, like Lotus everyday.
    7. Foundation is a tinted product which comes in liquid, cream, powder form which evens out your complexion and makes your skin look glowing. How to use it depends on the kind of product that you are using. Foundation should make you look like you have good skin, not like a ghost.
    Any more questions, please get back to me :)

    Try googling if the powder has a review.. or just apply with the puff or a brush like normal talcum powder.
    If you do it correctly the effects of a gold facial lasts great for 3-4 days.
    Doing a facial days before wedding helps the skin (if done correctly with good products) and makes makeup go on smoothly and lasts longer.
    Ensure that in gold facial they do it on the neck, shoulder and upper back also... Also ask for some pack/bleach to be put on hands n feet if they are very tanned.

    Hi AngelVoice,
    am planning to get a BB cream....which one do you suggest - maybelline or garnier? Is the stick better than cream? Will it cause sweating in summers? I have combination skin. Please suggest. thanks :)
