Hi, I have a couple questions about hair dye and make up.

1. I want to go black with blonde or red highlights (I'm already a dark brown). I usually do a box dye for my straight black, but to get highlights I'm going to have to go through a hairdresser. Someone mentioned to me not to dye my own hair black first because the hair dresser would have to lift the black out and it would piss her off, but I'm worried about it costing significantly more to do a whole head and highlights rather than -just- highlights.

Thoughts?

2. I am makeup incompetent lately. I was really good at doing my face up for a while and then BAM! everything goes wrong. Specifically:

-I can't cover up my under eye circles without it being Kim Kardashian levels of obvious. The coverup matches my skin tone quite well, as does the foundation and powder I use on top of it, but all three together seems to highlight the goosebumpy skin I have there (thin skin + visible capillaries + lack of sleep, I'm lucky eh?)
-I can't apply eyeshadow properly lately. It gets everywhere on my face or looks zombie-ish and I just give up on it. I want to go for a classy look, not TOO overdone, but enough to actually show...problem is when I try to make it "show" I end up with eyeshadow up to my eyebrows.
-My blemishes are visible NO MATTER how much product I put on, especially my forehead. I can't get smooth without caking it on.

3. How do you do short hair? My mum never taught me so I never really learned so my one hair tool is a straightener and a center part...I want to have the sexy bangs-over-eyes looks and whatnot but my hair goes fuzzy, makes my forehead HUGE, is wavy as hell and inevitably goes back to it's stupid center part. And if I sweat, say if I'm dancing or whatnot, it goes completely curly and frizzy and won't stay put.


And for reference, here is a pic of me very done up for a clubbing night and with my hair done to the best of my extent. :( I look awful. Of course it's overexposed so you can't see the specific problems with my make-up, but you can get an idea of my face shape anyway and how huuuuuge my Rihanna-esque forehead is.

(I'm the woman, obviously...)

EDIT: More reference pics.

.Freshly washed hair- shows how wavy it is, my massive forehead and the only hairstyle I know aside from a center part (ignore my bare shoulders, heh)
.Hair after I straighten it, at a longer length than usual, with my usual center part
.A somewhat old example of bad makeup and bad hairdo- about a year or two ago
.Ditto- straightened again

Hey ladies,

Since Urban Decay is having their Friends and Family sale (30% off!), I was just wondering what some of your favorite Urban Decay products are? I definitely want to take advantage of this while I can since I've heard good things about them.

Thanks in advance!

 Back in May I bought this foundation brush (http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P205828&categoryId=RPYMAL&navAction=jump ), which I've been loving. It's a great brush and I've never had any problems with it... Now, last Friday, I washed it, just like I usually do, and left it to air dry... It's usually dries after some hours so when it was looking a bit wet by the end of the day I was a bit surprised, so waited until the next morning... but that "wet" look wouldn't go away... when I looked closer it actually looks oily and dirty. I tried washing it again but it remains the same: oily. 
Now, I've always used shampoo to wash it (Pantene) and the foundation has been the same since I bought the brush as well (Clinique Superfit), what can possibly be wrong this time and how can I solve it? Any idea is appreciated, thanks!

I've been using these products recently and I like them so much I wanted to post reviews of them.

( two reviews and a question under here )

Found out today my boyfriend washes his face with Irish Spring... I made this face D: He said he would use something else if I picked it out for him, so help me figure out what he should use.

He's usually all broken out and is pretty red sometimes. He gets cysts around his jaw and the sides of his face like right in front of the hair line as well as some whiteheads. In general it's on the oily side but he told me his skin gets dried out really easily and from the looks of it he scars pretty easily, too. I'm also not sure if this matters but he's Asian?

I was planning to give him some of my witch hazel for toner and he uses that standard yellow Clinique moisturizer which I guess is probably fine for him. What he really needs is a good cleanser and possibly another acne treatment of some kind? He said he used Proactiv before and it barely did anything, and he's also used some of the standard drug store stuff like Stridex. I think he needs something more gentle-- he's sensitive to BP so nothing with that, either. Any suggestions?

Okay I just have gotten into the high end side of make up and really am wanting to get some stila stuff for christmas (My mom is gonna spend around 300 on me, and I have a 20% off coupon for the site, as well as double stila reward dollars, woot) so I would LOVE to hear some opinions on some of the Stila products.

okay here are some of the things I have in my wishlist so far -
Eyeshadow single - Barefoot Contessa
Eyeshadow single - Diamond lil
Eyeshadow single - sweetheart
glitter Eyeliner - purple silver
sheer color tinted moisturizer spf 15 bare
empty 3 pan shadow palette

anything I just MUST get or must rethink? I am a very fair skinned young woman with hazel (usually green) eyes. My hair is currently dyed a light auburn if that matters. (Its usually a darker auburn). Anyway. Thanks for any help!

P.S. No idea if I am suppose to put tags not sure, am alittle confused about that....hope I did it right!

At what age do you consider someone too old to wear certain trends like miniskirts?
