You have two hours before a big night and you notice a huge pimple on your face. What do you do? If your first instinct is to rummage through your medicine cabinet in search of a quick fix, you're not alone. According to Dr. Gervaise Gerstner, consulting dermatologist for L'Oreal Paris, the DIY response to a skin state-of-emergency is quite common.

Whenever we read "What Men Really Think" magazine articles, there is always one man who says that he loves when a woman isn't embarrassed to get down and dirty in the bedroom with the lights on. To him, there is nothing more confident that a woman unafraid of showing her imperfections (or lack of). We can only imagine how these men would feel about glow-in-the-dark underwear. But does that exude confidence or a "look at me, look at me" mentality?

Brush curls out with a bristle brush and then run through your fingertips for that tousled look.

Lip, Eye and Cheek Color
Learn to use color like the pros do, and you'll never again be stuck with a shoddy shade. As makeup artist Sonia Kashuk points out, there are myriad ways to adjust a lip color you're not loving, such as dabbing on too-dark colors with fingers to make them sheer, or combining products to tweak a hue. "If a color is really blue, use a brown-based lip pencil to help neutralize it," Kashuk advises. "If you want more vibrancy, use a hotter pink pencil underneath." Glosses can also help

Why do women on Fox News wear more makeup than their cable TV peers? An article in this month's Atlantic examining the signature "Fox glam" look presents a few theories. Maybe it's because bright colors look better in HD, network management prefers it or the channel is pandering to conservative male viewers, the piece speculates.
