Q: This can take anywhere from 1 to 5 minutes. Some foundations, such as cream, are oil-based and will never fully dry. Other foundations, such as powder, are already dry to begin with.
A: Let the foundation dry.

Q: If you've got a straight body (narrow hips, no bust, no rear) there are certain dresses that will flatter your body better than others. Fitted sheaths and classic shift dresses work well for this body type.  Empire waist or A-line skirts on a dress help to give you some curves, if you don't have much in that area. You can also create a more dramatic effect by having an off-the-shoulder dress. The neckline of a dress like this draws more attention to the collarbones and arms. Pear-shaped basically means that you're fuller at the hips and rear and smaller around your bust. Open-neck and strapless dresses are good for drawing attention to your upper body, highlighting your assets. Empire waists, full and A-line skirts also enhance your hips and help you look fabulous! This means that you've got a full bust and full hips, with a narrower, defined waist. You'll want to go for dresses that nip in at the waist and show off your figure. Wraps, knit dresses, and sheaths that have a waist are good bets for showing off your figure. This basically means that your narrowest point is at your ribs, above your natural waist. Empire waists are a good bet for drawing attention upwards, since their waistline sits right below the bust.  Choose a dress with details around the neckline, because this will draw attention upwards. Full skirts or A-line skirts on a dress can give you the appearance of an hourglass figure. When your bust measurement is fuller than your hips and rear measurement, a good look is to draw attention away from your bust and even out your top and bottom by the dresses you choose.  V-necks and halter tops can create a slimming effect (and look good with fuller busts). A-line and full skirt dress styles will help create a balance between the top and bottom. Choosing dresses with details at the bottom can also help draw attention downwards.
A: Pick the right dress for a straight body. Choose dresses than enhance your upper body if you have a pear-shaped figure. Enhance your form if you've got an hourglass figure. Draw the eye up if you have an apple-shape. Draw attention downwards if you have a full bust.

Q: Warming up your neck muscles before stretching will help prevent muscle tightness and pain. Gently stretch your neck by rolling your head to each side. Start with your head leaning toward the right, then gently lower your head in front of you. Continue around until your head leans to the left.  Repeat the exercise, gently rolling your head from side to side. Anytime you are stretching your neck, be very careful not to go too far. Use slow, gentle movements. Called a cervical flexion stretch, moving your head to the front and back can help realign your neck. Sit in a straight chair looking forward. Bend your chin down to your chest and hold for 15 seconds. Lift your head back to the starting position, then repeat ten times. After the tenth repetition, bend your head backwards, then repeat the exercise ten times from the backward position.  Make sure that your movements are smooth and gentle. When moving your head backwards, go very slowly and stop as soon as you feel resistance. Never force your head backwards. Called a cervical lateral flexion stretch, turning your head side to side can help with alignment. Start with your head straight with your chin parallel to the floor. Turn your head to the right and hold for 15 seconds. Relax and return to your starting position. Repeat for ten repetitions.  After you finish on the right side, repeat for your left side. Stop turning your head as soon as you feel resistance, even if you haven't turned all of the way to the side. Stand or sit with your back straight. Turn your head to the right, then turn your face toward the ceiling. Look forward and bend you head to the right. Using your right arm, gently press your head toward your right shoulder. Hold for 30 seconds.  Repeat the stretch on your left side.  Don't force your head down. The tilt of your head should be slight. Relax your shoulders and keep your arms at your side. Squeeze your shoulder blades together and hold for five seconds. Release, then repeat the stretch for ten repetitions.  Do three sets of ten each day. Intensify the stretch by holding for ten seconds instead of five.
A:
Warm up your neck. Try a front neck stretch. Do a side neck stretch. Use your arm to stretch your neck. Squeeze your shoulder blades together.
