INPUT ARTICLE: Article: An undertone is the basic tone of your skin underneath the surface layer, which isn’t affected by things like tanning, acne, and surface discoloration. Your undertone will help you choose the best shades for makeup, clothes, and jewelry, because undertones are associated with certain colors, which can be better matched with some colors over others.  People with cool undertones are associated with bluish, reddish, and pinkish skin tones.  People with warm undertones are associated with golden, yellowish, and peachy skin tones. People with neutral undertones can have a combination of cool and warm skin tones. There are a few indicators that will tell you what your undertone is, such as your hair color, how your skin reacts to the sun, the color of your veins, and the color of your hair.   People with cool undertones: look best in silver jewelry, burn easily in the sun, have blue veins at the wrist, and usually have hair that’s blond (ash or sandy), brown (ash or dark), blue-black, auburn, snowy, or silver-gray.  People with warm undertones: look best in gold jewelry, will bronze in the sun, have green veins at the wrist, and often have hair that’s blond (golden, strawberry, or honey), brown (golden or caramel), brown-black, red (copper or wine), or creamy white.   People with neutral undertones: look good in both types of jewelry, have blue-green veins at the wrist, and tend to have hair that’s blond, brown, red, white, or gray. Once you know your undertone, you can select colors that will best complement your skin. Most people with pale or fair skin tend to have cool undertones, which means you should look for cosmetics (and clothing) in sea shades, soft purples, taupes and grayish beiges, metallics, pinks, and berry reds. It’s best to avoid oranges, orange-reds, and yellows.   For pale people with warm undertones, try earthy reds, yellows, greens, browns, peaches, corals, and violet-reds. If you are pale but have a neutral undertone, you can wear any color, but you may look best in muted berry colors, such as raspberry, lemon, and lavender. When it comes to applying makeup on fair skin, one of the most important things to remember is that darker shades may simply be too dark. The contrast of dark cosmetics on pale skin can be too stark, but it can also make you look bruised. Try browns and grays instead of black for cosmetics like mascara and eyeliner, and use brown instead of black as your base color when you are creating a smoky eye effect, and blend your eyeshadow more rigorously.

SUMMARY: Know what an undertone means. Figure out what your undertone is. Choose appropriate colors. Know what colors to avoid.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: When you ask yourself a “What if” question, you’re telling your brain to take something ordinary and think of it in a new way. After you ask a “What if” question, think through some possible answers. Keep in mind that every “What if” question can have various anwers. Keep answering your “What if” question until one of your answers ignites your imagination and feels like it could lead to a larger story. Examples of “What if” questions include:  What if dinosaurs still existed? What if we only had a limited amount of luck per day? What if our hair changed color every day? What if my best friend was a spy? “I wonder” questions are a way to probe deeper into the reasons for why something happens, who it might happen to, and how it might feel. It doesn’t matter if you ask an expansive question or a very specific one, asking and answering an “I wonder” question opens your mind up to the possibility of learning new things and seeing old things in a new light. Some examples of “I wonder” questions are:  I wonder what Jim does in his basement every night. I wonder what it’s like to be a cross-country truck driver. I wonder what life is like in rural Russia. Listen to other people in crowded places (like coffee shops) and discretely write down what they’re saying. Use that dialogue as a starting point to create characters and situational plot. What are their lives like? What’s their relationship to one another? Once you have a general idea of these characters, create a plot that focuses on their lives, or use them as minor characters in a larger storyline. If you think you’re making anyone uncomfortable, stop eavesdropping and try another conversation. Not all of your ideas can form a full story, but they can always help to create new characters or subplots. Try to avoid erasing “bad” ideas - instead, move them to a different list or journal that catalogues your half-formed ideas, and return to them later. Write your dreams down, too. Dreams and daydreams can be great starting points for a good story! Reading can help you get a sense for how a story flows, and will encourage you to develop your preferences. Do you like stories that begin and end abruptly? Do you value smooth setting description and characterization? Is plot the most important element of a story for you? Pay attention to how stories start, how they introduce their characters, and how quickly or slowly the plot moves, so you can start brainstorming your own narrative. Most literary genres and types have specific conventions, so make sure you reading books and stories that are written in the style you plan on writing in. Plot generators can help kickstart a story by providing strange, creative, or new suggestions. Sometimes, the extra boost from an outside source is all you need to get that spark of creativity!
