A. Well, you want to stay as natural as possible for during the day. And if you re going out for something special or just feel like dressing up, then you can use a heavier/darker shade of make-up for that. For your skin colour, eye and hair colour I would suggest trying this: During the day - EYES: For your blue/gray eyes, I would go for a neutral shade like CoverGirl 'Shimmering Sands' eyeshadow. This colour of shadow is neutral and looks the way it sounds -'Shimmering Sands' its some what of a beige/brown/sandy colour. It is a 3 shade eyeshadow, the middle shade goes on your eyelid, the darker shade goes in the crease and the lighter shade is supposed to go under your eyebrow. BUT I don't ever use the lightest shade because it is too… [cont.]

A. The color won't be as strong, and liquid stuff may make whatever (I'm not sure if you are adding the coloring to the cookie or the icing) you are making softer/looser.

A. Food coloring is available at the grocery stores in the baking aisles they also carry a 4 pack with red green blue and yellow, some stores especially here in the south carry the 2 oz bottle of red alone because red velvet cakes are so popular down here .At Walmart in the cake decorating aisle they have paste coloring which is much stronger for coloring frostings you would use much less but also a food coloring. with the paste use a toothpick and just a smidgen at a time until you achieve the desired results but if it is liquid like the kind you get in the grocery, you use the entire bottle(2oz) I have never use gel but you can mix the gel with your liquid ingredients like eggs ,milk, vanilla etc

A. If your hair is already dyed black you can't go lighter unless you go to a professional to have the black color lifted with bleach then the new color can be applied. I would not recommend this. It is very, very damaging to the hair. This is not a procedure you can do at home...consult a professional

A. Acutally, you don't have to color the water at all. If any part of your feeder is bright red or bright yellow, it will attract the hummers and you won't have to worry about "poisoning" them with artificial colors in the liquid.

A. Ordinary shaving cream will take it out, read on: Step1After you are finished using food coloring you may notice major stains on the table, your hands, clothes and maybe even the floor. Don't panic! Pull out ordinary shaving cream, this will do the trick. Step2Due to peroxide and other chemicals in the shaving cream it has the power to wipe out nasty food coloring stains if not fade them. Spray a generous amount over the stain and let sit up to 5 minutes. Step3After the 5 minutes, if the stain was on the table or floor, use a dry cloth and start rubbing away. You will see the food coloring start to fade and then eventually disappear. Step4If the food coloring was set into your hands, wash them with shaving cream and cold water. This… [cont.]

Follow the directions on the packaging until the stain is gone and don't run them through the dryer until it's gone. Hope that helps.
