Summarize the following:
Take a deep breath. Don’t take the other person’s anger personally. Instead, focus on keeping an emotional distance from them. Keep that intention in mind as this person acts out in anger. Avoid becoming agitated, raising your voice, or fighting with the person. Instead, actively think about skills you can use to help the other person regulate the situation enough to have a balanced conversation.   Remember that anger is always rooted in someone’s personal pain. It’s not about you, even if the person is taking out their feelings on you. You are not responsible for diffusing their anger. If they are not willing to work toward calm, disengage as soon as possible. People tend to mimic the behavior of those around them. Keeping calm may help the other person to slow or stop their anger. Even if the other person is shouting at you, respond to them as calmly as you can. If they are too worked up to communicate rationally, don’t say anything until they quiet down a little. If you raise your voice, you’ll only fuel the person’s anger. Don’t encourage them to fight. Saying something like “Settle down” or “Relax” will probably just make the person angrier. They may resent being told what to do and feel like you are brushing off their problem.  Create a connection with the person by acknowledging their anger instead. Say something like, “It seems like this is really bothering you. Can we talk about it?” or "I want to understand how you feel and I think that would be easier if we could talk instead of yelling." If you are in a public place, ask the person if there is somewhere you can go to work out the issue. If you feel nervous going on your own, ask someone along to act as a moderator and serve as your witness. When the person tells you what’s wrong, empathize with them. Make them feel like you’re on their side, even if you don’t agree with them. They will be less likely to turn violent if they feel understood. For instance, you might say something like, “So you’re hurt that no one told you about the change of plans ahead of time, is that right? You feel like no one wanted to include you.” Maintain an open, relaxed posture. Make eye contact with the angry person, but keep your expression non-confrontational. Don’t make animated gestures, put your hands on your hips, or fold your arms. Move slowly and calmly. Give the angry person plenty of space. This also gives you some protection if they do become violent.

summary: Stay calm. Keep your voice down. Avoid telling the person to calm down. Reflect the person’s feelings. Use non-threatening body language.

They’re sold at most pharmacies and beauty supply stores, and there are a ton of different brands and styles on the market. If your goal is to make them look natural, you want to avoid the dramatically long, the unnaturally spiky, and the outrageously full ones. If you want them to look real, bigger is not necessarily better. Choose a pair that look like your dream natural eyelashes. If you can’t find any that look natural in the store, check online. You will endless options if you order online, and you can also read reviews from others who have tried particular brands or styles. For most people, your false eyelashes won’t be ready to go right out of the box. First, you’ll need to trim them so that they fit your own, unique eye perfectly. Before applying any glue to them, hold them up to your eyelid and determine how much you’ll need to trim off the end. Use small scissors to carefully cut the lashes. The finished lash strip should be the same length as your natural lashes. If you skip this step, the extra length will rub against your skin as you blink and cause the eyelashes to come loose. Not to mention they won’t look very natural! There is a bit of a debate about which eyelash glue is best, so you can weigh your options. Some pairs of eyelashes come with glue, but often you’ll need to buy your own. Eyelash glue is sold at pharmacies and beauty supply stores in small tubes that you can use for many applications.  The most common type of eyelash glue comes out of the tube white and then dries clear. If you’re skilled at applying false eyelashes, you can apply them carefully and avoid any clumps of glue showing. You can also purchase black eyelash glue. This works well if you line your lash line with dark eyeliner before applying your lashes, because any black glue will blend into it.
summary: Purchase a natural-looking pair of false eyelashes. Trim your eyelashes. Buy the proper eyelash glue.
