Summarize the following:
Many people feel nerds look pale, as they spend a lot of time indoors. Therefore, a pale complexion can really help with a nerd costume. Use a makeup brush to apply a heavy amount of light foundation. Choose a fairly pale tone and blend the foundation all over your face until you have an even, pale tone. From here, add eyeshadow. As nerds are often seen as mismatched, choose bright and unusual colors. A bright blue, green, or purple eyeshadow can work for a nerd costume. You can use your fingers or a makeup brush to apply eye shadow for your nerd costume.  It's a good idea to apply a lighter shade of eyeshadow, or an eyeshadow primer, before applying your actual eyeshadow. This can make the bright colors show up even more. If you mess up a bit, don't worry. Makeup that's somewhat smeared may actually help with the nerd look. Stores sell eyeliner in a variety of shades. Pick a fun, bright color instead of using black. You want your makeup to look nerdy and somewhat awkward. Eyeliner in shades like purple, pink, and blue works well. Apply a thin line of eyeliner just above your eyelashes, and another line just underneath your bottom lashes. You can also draw a line of eyeliner on your water line, as long as the makeup is safe for use this close to the eyes. It may be a good idea to pick a shade of eyeliner that clashes with your existing eyeshadow. For example, if you did green eyeshadow, go for a purple eyeliner. Another notion about nerds is that they're shy and easily embarrassed. If you want to develop a flushed look to help with your nerd costume, add a heavy layer of blush to your cheeks using a makeup brush. Freckles are thought of as somewhat awkward. Use a brown makeup pencil and dot a few freckles on each cheek. How many you want is up to you. Add enough that you feel you look adequately nerdy.

summary: Apply powder foundation to achieve a pale appearance. Try mismatched, brightly colored eye shadow. Use colorful eyeliner. Apply blush for a flushed look. Add freckles with a brown pencil.

Pour into one cake pan rather than making cupcake though and bake about 25-30 minutes. Allow to cool, then proceed from this point. Cut the cooled cake into small pieces. Either mash down with a fork or process into crumbs using the food processor.   Add a dab of white chocolate to one end of the ball and attach the stick. It helps to add a little white chocolate to the end of the stick to. Repeat with each ball until all have a stick attached. Allow to set.  Once again, leave to set and then they're ready to enjoy. Use something like a piece of foam to stick the drying cake pop sticks into; or lay the ball itself on a tray covered in parchment paper till set. You can even buy cake pop stands if you make them often enough.

summary: Make a green velvet cake using the recipe above. Make cake crumbs from the green velvet cake. Add the scoopful of cream cheese frosting and process through. Take teaspoonful of the processed mixture and shape into little balls, using your hands. Melt the white chocolate. Once set, dip each cake pop ball in chocolate. Coat with the sprinkles you've chosen for decoration. Finished.

Never assume a photo's original framing is the best option available. The Rule of Thirds is one of photography's oldest and most trusted guides. It states that if you cut the image in thirds horizontally and vertically (making 9 mini squares), the most interesting elements should always be the lines and intersections. In Photoshop, these lines appear automatically when cropping, making it easy to improve.  Even small crops can dramatically improve a photo. Are there any unnecessary elements in the corners of the frame that you can eliminate to focus on more interesting things? Always put major lines, like the horizon in the example above, on a third line. To crop a photo, press "C" to pull up the crop tool. The Red Eye Tool is found under the Patch tool, which is found underneath the eyedropper icon in your toolbar. You can also press J to bring up the Patch tool, then click and hold on the icon to reveal the red eye tool. Once you have it, simply click and drag over the eyes to remove red eye. Want to get rid of that small pimple on your forehead? The spot healer is here to help. Click and hold the Patch tool (press "J") to find it, as it will pop up in the small menu under the Patch tool. This tool simply replaces the spot you click on with pixels surrounding it, blending them in perfectly. This means thin, small issues, like a zit or a power-line in the background, can be quickly erased without ruining the image. The healing brush works similarly, but you can tell it which pixels to replace from. To select the "healing area," hold the Alt/Opt key, click once, then start healing your blemish area. For example, imagine there was some dirt on the lens that you missed, which put a big brown spot in the sky of your beautiful landscape shot. Content-fill can cover it up for you. To do so, use Quick Selection tool (found under the Lasso icon) to select the smudge. From there:  Click "Select" → "Modify" → "Expand." Expand the selection by 5-10 pixels. Select "Edit" → "Fill." Select "Content Aware" in the Fill, dialogue box and select "okay." Imagine you've got a great shot of a soccer player in action but there is one fan in the background up against a fence that you want out of there. Of course, you need to remove him while keeping the fence, which may seem impossible when he's covering the fence up! The patch tool will take another section of the fence and duplicate it over your man to replace him.  Use a selection tool (like "Quick Selection") to select the thing you want to be removed. Select the Patch Tool by pressing J. It can also be found underneath the eyedropper icon. Click on the selected area (the place you're replacing), but don't let go of the mouse. Drag the selected area to the spot you want to replace it with and let go of the mouse.
summary: Crop pictures using the "Rule of Thirds" as a guide for compelling shots. Use the Red Eye Tool to simply clean up the eyes of any portraits. Play with the spot healing brush to remove small blemishes. Use the Content-Fill effect to remove objects and simple imperfections. Use the patch tool to replace small sections of a photo with another section of the photo.
