Now that I got that out the way, here is the first question I was asked: 

Question:  "Can I wear a silk top with white linen pants?"

My Answer:  "Well, to be honest when I envisioned this look in my head, I was like NO!  At first I said to myself linen only goes with linen.  I don't think we should mix those materials together.  I mean what kind of shoes would I wear with this outfit?  Maybe some gold shoes or silver ones depending on the color of the silk shirt.  Well of course, I had to do my research, so I googled silk shirt with linen pants.  I mean just because I envisioned that this would not look cute, I had to do some digging a little deeper.  So I came across this website http://lookbook.nu/look/2185225-Tangerine and VIOLA!  I think that this look is very hot and comfortable.  It looks very great on the model.  So I said all this to say YES!  Yes you can wear a silk top with white linen pants.  I absolutely love the look and would like to try it myself!"

That is it for the fashion question of the day.  I hope this article and picture helped you with your dilema.

BASIC MAKEUP TIPS

  1. Foundation:  Your makeup foundation should always match your skin tone.  One way to test this out is to try a small amount of yellow based foundation and a small amount of pink foundation to see which one stays on longer and stays natural.  Another way to test and see which colors match your skin tone, is to try a cheaper brand.  Stores such as the Dollar Store and drugstores carry cheaper brands that will not break your  pocket, especially when you are just testing products.  For oily skin, you should use an oil free foundation.  If you have dry or normal skin, try using a creamy moisturizing formula.
  2. Covering Up Dark Circles:  When trying to cover dark circles, use a concealer a shade slightly lighter than your foundation.  you need to apply foundation first and then concealer under the eyes and then the inner area.
  3. Eyeshadow:  Before applying, put a little foundation or powder under the eye lid.  I personally use concealer as a base.
  4. Mascara:  Roll brush upwards when you apply mascara.  Let dry before adding a second coat. 
  5. Lips:  Use a lip liner or pencil and that matches your lipstick/lipgloss.  Do not go outside the lines of your lips.
