INPUT ARTICLE: Article: To look like a VS Angel, you need to learn how to do your makeup like a VS angel. The Angels don’t tend to go overboard on their makeup, they prefer more of a healthy, glowing look with some added sparkle and shimmer!  Try to go for a mineral or powder foundation that matches your skin tone perfectly - you really don’t want to look like you’re caked in makeup! Apply a little matching concealer under the eyes or to cover any blemishes, if necessary. Then use a pinky-bronze colored blush to add a healthy glow to your cheeks. Apply eyeshadow in neutral colored creams and browns. Then, depending on your skin tone, use a black or brown eyeliner to line your upper lid only. Use a matching mascara to add volume and definition to your lashes. The Angels don’t usually wear bold lipsticks, they prefer to go for soft pink and nude pouts. Try using a balmy lipstick that’s just a shade or two lighter or darker than your natural lip color. Stay away from glosses or anything that’s too shiny or shimmering. Just look at MAC lipsticks for a lovely nude shade. Having fabulous hair is essential for any VS Angel. Make sure yours is in tip top condition by getting regular trims, using a weekly deep conditioning treatment and by avoiding excessive heat from styling tools like flat irons, curling tongs, and hair dryers. The better you treat your hair, the faster it will grow - and as you know, long, healthy hair is a VS model’s trademark.  When it’s time to get all-dolled up, the Angels favor loose, tousled-looking curls. To achieve this make sure your hair is freshly washed and conditioned, and use a nourishing serum or oil (such as argan oil) to add shine. Blow dry your hair using a round bristled brush to add lots of volume. When your hair is dry, spritz it with some heat protection spray and begin making large, loose curls using your flat iron or curling tongs (for more specific instructions see here and here). When you’re done, spritz your hair with some loose hold hairspray and you’re ready for the runway! As you may have noticed, all of the Angel’s have beautiful, sun-kissed glows. Therefore, if you want to look like a VS model you’ll have to get your tan on!  However, as the Angels know, having healthy skin is far more important than having a tan. Therefore, it is absolutely essential that you wear sunscreen if you plan on lying out by the pool. Otherwise, you could be exposing your skin to burns and sunspots - not to mention contributing to wrinkles, premature aging and skin cancer! If getting a natural tan feels like too much effort, you’re super pale, or you just want to avoid sun exposure - fret not! You can get a natural-looking tan from a bottle. Just make sure to exfoliate well before you apply any self-tanning products. For more info on using a self-tanner, see here. Having perfect, straight, white teeth is another Angel must-have! Practice good oral hygiene by brushing your teeth 2 to 3 times a day, flossing regularly and avoiding sugary food and drinks.  You should also make an effort to see your dentist a couple of times a year. He can give your teeth a proper cleaning, getting rid of any stains or built-up plaque that are impossible to remove at home. This will also leave your teeth looking whiter! If necessary, you can also ask your dentist about whitening treatments like laser or bleaching. These can be pricey, but are worth it if you really want a dazzlingly white smile! The same goes for braces - if your teeth are a little crooked, ask your dentist about your options for straightening them. The VS models are classy ladies, and even though they spend a lot of time in their underwear, they still manage to look glamorous and elegant - never trashy.  Try to emulate this in your everyday life by wearing polished, well-tailored clothes which highlight your feminine side. Think dark bootcut jeans, with crisp, button down shirts, or A-line dresses and skirts which cinch in at the waist. Wear understated jewelry and opt for low heels or pretty flats. The most important thing is to wear clothes that fit you. Don’t wear too-small clothes thinking that they’ll make you look skinnier - they’ll actually have the opposite effect. Always try on clothes before buying and bring a trusted friend with you who can give you an honest opinion. Even in their downtime, the Angel’s look well-put-together. Wear matching gym clothes (like the oh-so-comfortable yet stylish VS tracksuits) and always have your hair looking neat, even if it’s just tied back in a pony. Of course, no Angel would be complete without her VS lingerie! Don’t be afraid of sexy lingerie, girls - it’s designed to make you feel beautiful, even underneath jeans and a t-shirt! Again, it’s important to wear the right size, as too-small lingerie can create bulges and lumps in all the wrong places, while too-big lingerie won’t give you the support you need. Not only are they some of the most beautiful people on the planet, the VS Angels are also well-known for their friendliness, kindness and overall great personalities! This is something you can easily adopt in your everyday life. Just by smiling and being kind, you will radiate beauty - just like an Angel!

SUMMARY: Do Angel-worthy make up. Get fabulous hair. Get a beautiful bronzed body. Have perfect, white teeth. Dress to impress. Be beautiful inside and out!

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The areas that you tie will end up white. The areas that you leave untied will end up colored. If you have a lot of folds in your fabric, be aware that those areas might not get dyed either. Some of the patterns you can try:  Spirals Stripes Starbursts Crumpled Pick a point on your garment; it does not have to be in the middle. Pinch the fabric, making sure that you go through all layers. Twist the fabric into a tight spiral, like a cinnamon roll. Wrap 2 rubber bands around it to form a X and to hold the spiral together.  This method works best on T-shirts. You can make several mini swirls on a large T-shirt. Roll or scrunch your fabric into a tube. You can roll it vertically, horizontally, or even diagonally. Wrap 3 to 5 rubber bands around the tube. The rubber bands should be tight enough to squeeze and indent the fabric. You can space them evenly or randomly. Spread your garment out flat. Take a fistful of fabric, then tie it off with a rubber band to create a little tuft. Do this as many times as you want over your shirt. Each tied off portion will make a starburst. This technique works best on T-shirts. Crumple the fabric up into a ball. Wrap 2 rubber bands around it to form a cross. Add more rubber bands, if needed, to help hold the bundle together. The rubber bands need to be tight enough to scrunch the fabric together into a tight ball.

SUMMARY:
Decide what sort of pattern you want. Twist the fabric into a spiral if you want a traditional swirl pattern. Wrap rubber bands around your fabric if you want stripes. Pinch and tie tufts of fabric if you want mini starbursts. Crumple the fabric up and tie it if you want a random pattern.
