Problem: Article: If your foam project is large and flat, you'll be better off with a paint roller of around 9 in (23 cm), which can cover a high amount of space in a short time. A paint roller that's 9 in (23 cm) will cost around $7 (£4.95) at a hardware store. You'll also need a foam cover, which will cost around $5 (£3.55), and a paint tray,  which will cost around $2 (£1.42). Pour the paint slowly into the tray and fill up the small basin, making sure you’ve left the screen (the ridged, tilted area inside the tray) free of paint.  You’ll be using this screen to scrape excess paint off of your roller, so make sure you haven’t filled it with paint. Latex paint will be the easiest to apply with a roller, and you can get 1 US gal (3.8 l) of it for about $20 (£14.12) at a hardware store. Slide the foam cover onto the paint roller and spin it several times to make sure that it will roll upon the surface you’re painting. If your roller doesn't spin, you may need to return it to the store. Alternatively, try using some WD-40 on the spinning barrel. Dip your paint roller about 1⁄2 in (1.3 cm) into the paint, then roll it back and forth 2-3 times against the screen. Scraping your roller against the screen will help even out the paint on the roller, which will reduce the likelihood of lumps on the foam. Roll your paint around the edges of your project, ensuring that you've painted every corner. Once that’s done, roll the roller up and down the length of the project until the paint is smooth and covers the foam. When your paint begins to thin out, reload the paint by dipping your roller into the tray and scraping it on the screen again. Latex paint should be allowed to dry for at least an hour. If you don't give the paint an hour, your roller will just roll the old paint around, instead of layering new paint on top. Apply a second coat the same way you applied the first, being sure to scrape excess paint off of the roller. If, after the second coat, you feel your project needs a third or fourth coat, apply them in the same way, waiting at least an hour between coats. Latex paint needs days to cure (reach its full hardness). Leave the foam project in a warm room to dry for up to 30 days before handling it. If 30 days is too long, you can handle the project within 24 hours; just know that some paint might move around if you do so.
Summary: Paint with a paint roller for large, flat projects. Pour latex paint into the tray and fill the small basin at the bottom. Slide the cover onto the paint roller and spin it. Dip the roller into the paint, then scrape it against the screen. Paint the foam's outside edges first, then sweep up and down its length. Wait 1-2 hours for the paint to dry. Apply a second coat of paint. Wait up to 30 days for the latex paint to cure.

Problem: Article: It's very important to wash your face before you go on your makeup adventure. Your face must be as convincing as possible for the rest of your look to succeed. It's important to wash your face as thoroughly as possible. If your face is oily, the makeup won't stick as well.  Wash and dry your face completely. With everything you do, remember that to make something three dimensional, you simply need to apply the appropriate highlight and shadow.  Remember that light usually comes from above, so highlight accordingly. Wrinkles are highlighted on the bottom because that's where the light would hit them. At the same time, a wart would have highlight on the top. You might also want to use a darker or lighter color on a stipple sponge or brush to give parts of your skin a little more texture. Now that you look like an old person, take care of your old face while you put the rest of your outfit together.  Try not to smile or laugh too much until you're ready to bring your outfit into the world. When you put your clothes on, be careful not to smear your face. If you're wearing something tight that won't easily wear over your face, put it on before you do the makeup. For the most part, though, putting on your clothes afterwards works best because you won't accidentally ruin the clothes with your makeup.
Summary: Wash your face. Add extra things to give your design real character, such as spots, scars, apple cheeks, or jowls. Take care of your new face.

Problem: Article: Chances are that you’ll want or need to end a conversation with a person or people you don’t know. Make up a common excuse to get you out of the conversation and leave the experience positive. You might tell the others that you are:  Going to grab another drink or some more food. Making an important phone call. Heading to the restroom. Getting some fresh air. If something or someone interrupts your conversation, take it as end your interaction. This can help you find another person or group with whom to socialize or bring into the conversation.  Recognize natural pauses in the conversation. If there are a lot of “ums” and “ahs,” this may be your cue to excuse yourself. You could say “oh, I just realized how late it is” after looking at a clock or your watch or “I’ve really enjoyed talking, but I need to excuse myself and go to the restroom.” Look for a common item in the room that jogs your memory. For example, say “wow, I didn’t realize that the buffet is closing down so early. I need to grab something to eat because I haven’t had dinner yet,” after glancing towards the food. See if there is anyone else with whom you’ve chatted at the event and mention the person to your conversation partner. For example, you could say “You know, I was just talking to that gentleman Tom about this same thing. Maybe we could make our way in that direction and get his views. He had a really interesting take on the matter.” Frame your exit as beneficial to your conversation mate or mates. You can make comments such as “I don’t want to monopolize your time” to signal that you’re ready to finish the conversation. Excuse yourself with phrases such as “I’m sure don’t want me to monopolize your time with all of these interesting people around. I’ll let you go in the hope that we’ll see each other again soon.” Ask the person or group for a way to stay in contact or follow up on the conversation. This can naturally cue them that you need to excuse yourself and that the chat is over.  Ask the person for their email address or phone number because you’d like to continue the conversation. If you’re in a business setting, you can ask if the person has a business card. Let the person know you’ll follow up to figure out a way to meet again. Take a quick glance at the information and confirm it back to the person, which shows that you respect her.  Make sure to follow up with the person if you’ve said you will contact her for coffee or another conversation. Bringing the conversation back to what you first discussed can help end the exchange. Repeat the person’s name in your final comment and consider asking a question to end on a positive note. Keep this transition natural by asking a question related to what broke the ice. For example, you could say “Sara, I’m so sorry but I have a terrible memory and can’t remember the name of that nail polish. Could you please tell me again?” After she mentions it, tell her “I need to find my phone and put the name in before I forget it again.”
Summary:
Make a common excuse. Use an interruption to your benefit. Consider the person’s time. Get contact information. Return to the original subject.
