Instructions
Step1
Find a good running shoe store. You can buy your shoe at the local mega-mart, but the sales professionals in a specialty store are better trained to help you pick the right shoe. To locate a store, ask friends who run, check running magazine reviews, or check the yellow pages.
Step2
Examine the soles of your old running shoes. Notice the spots where the shoes show wear from the road. This tells you where your foot falls every time it hits the ground.
Step3
Place your shoes side-by-side on a flat surface. If the shoes tilt in toward the middle, your new shoe probably needs more stability than your old shoe. If they tilt to the outside, you may have a high arch and your new shoes should have good shock absorption.
Step4
Look at the top of your shoe. If you can see an outline of your big or little toe, and you’ve noticed discomfort in those areas while running, you should try a larger or wider shoe.
Step5
Consider the amount of running you will be doing. This tells you whether you should buy an elite running shoe or a basic model. The more intense the running, the more money you’ll want to spend on the shoes.
Step6
Go to the running shoe store. Tell them what you’ve found out about your old shoes, or bring a pair with you. The employees should be able to “read” your old shoes and guide your choice. If not, you probably should find a different store.
Step7
Try out the shoes. Many stores will let you take a run up and down the street to audition the shoes. Try on as many shoes as it takes. Make sure you like the feel and fit of the shoe. Try out the new shoes for at least 10 minutes. This lets you know if the shoe maintains its comfort during wear.
Step8
Buy the best running shoes for your feet. When you find the right pair, don’t let them get away. Take them home and start breaking them in!

Instructions
Things You’ll Need:* Natural-colored blush
(with luminescence if desired)
* Angled cheek brush
Step1
Wash your face thoroughly and remove any oils with facial toner before beginning. Blush can be applied after you have finished application of your foundation primer and foundation powder.
Step2
Choose a natural-colored blush, since your metallic makeup is a bit strong and a powerful blush can overdo your look. There are many blushes out that are called “luminescent” that reflect light, giving you a soft shimmer. Luminescent blushes are the perfect touch for your metallic look; however, your old favorite blush will work as well.
Step3
Use an angled cheek brush to apply your blush. Apply a small amount of powder to the brush and begin dabbing very gently on the apples of your cheeks and then softly sweeping up toward to the tops of the ears. You can easily pinpoint the apples of your cheeks by smiling gently. The apples come forward just above the corners of your mouth.
Step4
Begin with a little blush at a time, since it is easier to add more than take away. Once you are happy with your blush, you are ready to begin working on your metallic look.

History
Traditionally, the bride and bridesmaid dressed identically. This was done to confuse the evil spirits who would come to harm the bride. Her chosen friend would dress up identically to take her safely to the wedding place.
Significance
Today’s bride wants her own identity, especially when it concerns the wedding gown. The bridesmaid or maid of honor wants her own identity as well, so the bride may choose a coordinating color of the bridal theme. The dresses of the two women need to be planned so that they look good together.
Function
The bride should choose a dress that conceals some areas and highlights others. Try out several gowns at the store and get opinions from your close friends or family. Many brides end up trying on 15-20 gowns before finding the perfect dress. It is always better to have the gown tailored by a professional as it will always fit well. Allow a period of six to seven months for ordering the dress, plus another one to two months for alterations and fittings.
Considerations
When choosing a gown for the bridesmaid, keep her budget in mind. It is your wedding and, although you may want to spend a fortune, be wary of picking an expensive dress for your maid of honor.
When choosing the dress for your maid of honor, take her shopping with you. Although typically the bride picks the color and the dress for the maid of honor, you want your friend to feel comfortable at your wedding, so pick a dress that flatters her.
Keep it simple, yet stylish. You can opt for the same dress for all the bridesmaids or give them the choice of color and style. That way, they can stay within their budget. The maid of honor should have a slightly different dress than the rest of the bridesmaids. For winter weddings, consider adding a coordinating wrap. For summer weddings, add a sash or some other accessory.
Warning
The bridesmaid should dress in such a manner that she complements the bride but does not attract more attention.
