[blparent] shaving legs

Fri Apr 5 00:27:52 UTC 2013

Hi,
THis is not about shaving legs, but I was wondering if any of you had tips 
on how to apply makeup? I have just started using foundation and still have 
to ask my husband to make sure I applied it every where and it is even. I 
have never had to wear makeup because I have been told my skin is relly nice 
and I don't need makeup, but I just wanted to try smething different and 
thought you guys could be of help. Thanks in advance!
Gloria
