INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Messy, running mascara is a classic sign that someone has been crying, and you can use that to your advantage with some smokey eye makeup. Having color in your cheeks is a sign of passion or fire. When you want to look sad, it is better to keep the cheeks wan and pale. However, you can add a redness to your nose to suggest soreness from using tissues. It might be easier to make your nose red by rubbing it than by using makeup. To communicate a lasting sadness or depression, keep the lips as colorless as possible as well as the cheeks. Brushing a subtle nude lipstick over the lips can help your entire face seem less vibrant and alert.

SUMMARY: Smudge your eye makeup so it looks as though you’ve been crying. Keep your cheeks pale and your nose red. Use pale or nude lip colors.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Rewarm strips as necessary, and discard these when they are no longer effective.  Next, slowly separate the layers, exposing the wax. The benefit of wax strips is that they don’t require you to heat up the wax. The downside is that some people consider them more painful than hot wax because the wax remains cold. Choose the right wax strips. If you are using pre-coated wax strips, make sure you are using the correct kind for the area you are waxing. You don't want to use a leg waxing strip on your bikini line or on your face. Put the strip wax side down.  For example, a wax strip applied on the legs should be applied with pressure moving downwards because leg hair grows downwards. You want to press firmly on the strip, until the wax cools against the skin. This should just take a few seconds. Be sure to keep the strip as close to the skin as possible while removing it.  Don't wax the same place twice. Ripping the strip against the direction of hair growth pulls the hair from the root, ensuring thinner hair growth. The waxed region should remain hair free for about 2 weeks. Keep the skin taut as the discomfort subsides. Any wax left over can easily be washed off later. Remove excess wax from the skin with baby oil. Some people develop rashes once waxed.

SUMMARY: Warm the strip by rubbing it between your hands for several seconds. Apply the strip to the area to be waxed, and quickly smooth it down in the direction of hair growth. Hold the skin taut at the bottom of the strip, and quickly rip the strip against the direction of hair growth.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you feel like the damage is irreparable, or that you cannot ever trust your girlfriend again, break up. Know that moving forward as a couple will be painful, and you may have constant reminders or triggers of the infidelity come up for you. Consider whether you can move forward with her, or if you will be better off breaking it off. Both are painful choices. It's not fair to your partner to lock down her life, to go through all of her private life (texts, emails, phone calls, etc) if you know you can never trust her again; it will be punishing both of you. If you decide to stay together, find ways to reconnect in new, meaningful ways. Perhaps you still love and care for each other but struggled to express it to each other. It is possible that other factors of life began to take importance over your relationship. Together, determine to contribute to the relationship in meaningful ways. Realize that it's not just the job of your girlfriend to make things new; you will need to contribute to creating a new foundation as well.

Forgiving your partner does not mean she gets a free pass, or that her behavior was okay. Forgiveness takes the focus away from the offense and acts to free yourself from the pain of the situation. You may feel like a victim or powerless after hearing the news of cheating; forgiveness allows you to reclaim power over your own emotions. Forgive your partner in a way that allows you to feel free from the powerlessness, to validate your own emotions, and then let them go.  Even if you decide to break up with your girlfriend, holding onto pain and hurt will not serve you. Let it go. For more information, check out How to Forgive a Cheater. Talk to your partner about what constitutes infidelity and create clear boundaries. While most people agree that sex is considered cheating, others may consider flirting, touching, kissing or intimate conversations cheating. Be clear on discussing boundaries with your partner. Some people choose to be in open relationships, which means that intimacy can be shared outside of the relationship. If you and your partner choose to have an open relationship, be clear on the boundaries of that as well. Cheating can still happen within open relationships, and trust is important. If you agree that the relationship needs work and that you want to stick with it but don't know where to start, seek counseling. You can attend couples counseling to help you ways to rebuild trust, find ways to cope with the betrayal, and build a new relationship together.

SUMMARY: Decide whether to break up. Build a new foundation. Forgive. Consider relationship boundaries. Reach out for therapy.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Beef can be purchased at a butcher's shop or grocery store. For the sake of learning proper cutting, you should buy a cut with visible muscle, or "grain". The beef you use should depend on the meal you're preparing.  "Grain" refers to the direction of the major muscle fibers on a cut of meat. It's not so important while you're cooking, but it's a crucial thing to consider when you cut the beef.  The smaller the grain on the beef, the less important the slice's angle is. Cuts such as filet mignon or New York strip have softer muscle by definition, so slicing these types of meat may be a bit easier and more forgiving. If you are having difficulty learning to slice beef properly, these cuts are well suited for you. Handwashing is a vital part of cooking preparation. Wash your hands with a disinfecting soap and lather them in water for at least 30 seconds. This will make sure you don't bring germs onto the food you're working with. If you're handling uncooked meat at any point, make sure to wash your hands again afterwards. Lovers of steak all have their preferences when it comes to the degree of cooking. Ranging from rare (pink in the middle) to well-done (completely cooked), the level of cooking has a major effect on taste and texture. You can cook beef before or after it's been cut. Different degrees of cooking, such as rare, medium rare, medium, medium well, and well done can also affect the meat's tenderness. Generally speaking, the longer you cook the meat, the less tender it is. Most steak lovers prefer medium rare as it offers an optimal balance. Place the steak to the side, and allow it to rest for a minimum of 3 to 5 minutes once it is cooked to your liking. This allows the juices to redistribute inside your steak, which relaxes the muscle. Slicing steak prematurely allows these juices to escape.  Resting time should vary based on the cut and size of your beef. A roast, for example, should be allowed to rest for 10 minutes, while steaks should be given 5 to settle.  Generally speaking, 1 minute of resting time per 100g of meat is a good rule if you're unsure how much time to let your beef idle.

SUMMARY:
Purchase a cut of beef. Wash your hands thoroughly in preparation for cooking. Cook the meat to your liking. Allow the beef to rest.
