| How to Apply Hippie Makeup Posted: 29 Mar 2018 05:00 PM PDT Whether you are dressing as a hippie for Halloween, heading to an outdoor music festival, or just want to experiment at home, creating a hippie makeup look can be a lot of fun. You may want to go for a minimalist hippie style, or you might want a funky look embellished with glitter, jewels, or flowers. Get in touch with your inner-hippie and create a groovy look fit for a free spirit like you. EditApplying Foundation and Concealer - Apply primer to a clean face. Begin with a clean canvas by washing, drying, and moisturizing your face. Then squeeze a dime-sized amount of makeup primer into your hand and move it around. Apply this primer all over your face.[1]
- Primer gently coats your face to create a smooth, even canvas for your makeup. It also helps to keep your makeup in place throughout the day.
- Apply concealer to any blemishes and under your eyes. Hippie girls have bright, clean skin that is free of blemishes and dark circles. Apply a thin layer of concealer over anything on your face that you feel is a blemish, i.e. blotches, circles under the eyes, etc.[2]
- Choose concealer just a little bit lighter than your skin tone, especially if your skin is more oily than dry.
- Cream, crayon, liquid, or pencil concealer all work well. Select the type of product you like best.
- Apply tinted moisturizer all over your face. Apply a dab of tinted moisturizer to each major area of your face: forehead, each cheek, nose, and chin. Then, using a foundation brush or foam sponge, spread the moisturizer across your face until it forms a sheer, even layer.[3]
- Select a moisturizer close to your skin tone for the best match. If you are not sure which color to choose, ask a salesperson to assist you.
- The sheer nature of the pigment should keep your look breezy and natural.
EditDoing Hippie Eye Makeup - Apply eye primer to your eyelids. Dab a tiny amount of eye primer onto your finger, and smooth it over both eyelids. This will help your eye makeup stay in place. This can be especially helpful if you'll be at a festival or party![4]
- Select 2 colors of vivid eyeshadow (1 light and 1 darker). Choose 2 bright eyeshadow colors. Ideally, you want a light and dark version of the same color. Great choices for this look include aqua and teal, pink and fuschia, or lilac and plum.[5]
- Apply the lighter eyeshadow color all over your eyelid. Using an eyeshadow brush, apply the lighter eyeshadow color starting from the upper lashes and going to a little bit above the crease on each eye.[6]
- For example, you could apply a champagne or light peach color all over your lid.
- Apply the darker eyeshadow color to your crease. Use an eyeshadow brush to apply the darker color all along the crease of each eye. Use a blending brush to softly blur the lines of the darker color above and below the crease.
- For example, you could add a darker peach or pale brown to your crease.
- Line the bottoms of each eye with color. Use a slanted brush to draw a line under your bottom lashes with the lighter color eyeshadow you chose. This will help your eyes stand out.[7]
- Apply 2-3 coats of mascara. Finish this look by applying 2-3 coats of mascara to your top lashes. A dark black or brown color mascara will help your eyes stand out. For a really dramatic look, you can add false eyelashes.
- Embellish this look with glitter and jewels. For a really funky look, you'll want to add some additional flare. Use your finger to apply facial glitter near the outer corners of your eyes. Dab a little bit of glue above the outer edge of each eyebrow, and press 1-3 small gems into the glue.[8]
- You can use body glue or spirit gum to attach gems and other embellishments.
EditFinishing with Cheeks and Lips - Apply bronzer to your forehead and cheeks (optional). Take a pressed powder bronzer and a fluffy brush and apply small, sweeping amounts of bronzer to your forehead, cheekbones, bridge of your nose, and chin. Make sure to blend when using bronzer. Bronzer will give you a healthy, sun-kissed look.[9]
- You want to use bronzer sparingly because it is darker than your natural skin color.
- Use highlighter to brighten your features. Apply a bit of liquid or powder highlighter under your brow bone, diagonally along your cheekbone, down the bridge of your nose, and on the inner corners of your eyes. Use a makeup sponge or eyeshadow brush to blend the highlighter into your skin.[10]
- To make your lips pop, you can also add a tiny bit of highlighter to your "cupid's bow," the indent at the center of your top lip, before applying lipstick or gloss.
- Apply lipstick or lip gloss to your lips. Leave your lips nude or use a nude or soft pink color if you intend to use makeup. After applying, take a paper napkin or towel and press your lips to it a couple times so that the lipstick leaves a "lip stain." This provides for a more healthy, natural look.[11]
- Draw on embellishments with face paint or eyeliner. Using face paint, face crayons, or eyeliner pencil, you can make this look even more hippied-out by adding flowers, a peace sign, or a paisley design to one of your cheeks. Face paint and crayons can be purchased at most party stores, or simply use the eyeliner colors you have on hand.[12]

| How to Make Cake Doughnuts Posted: 29 Mar 2018 09:00 AM PDT Cake doughnuts are a delicious and chewy version of regular doughnuts. Their crust is crisp and golden, while their inside is soft and cake-like. Unlike regular doughnuts, cake doughnuts are fluffed up with baking powder instead of yeast. Their overall composition is quite rich and delectable, and with this article, you'll learn how to make your own. Makes 16 regular-sized doughnuts EditIngredients EditFor the Doughnuts - 2 1/2 cups (590 ml) all-purpose flour
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 cup (230 ml) milk
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) salt
- 1/2 cup (118 ml) white sugar
- 2 quarts (1892 ml) oil
- 1/4 cup (59 ml) melted butter
- 2 teaspoons (10 ml) vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) baking powder
EditFor the Glaze - 1/3 cup (79 ml) melted butter
- 2 cups (413 ml) confectioner's sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons (9 ml) vanilla extract
- 4 tablespoons (41 ml) hot water
- Mix the salt, sugar, flour, and baking powder in a separate bowl.
- Add the eggs, butter, vanilla extract, and milk into another bowl and whisk well.
- Incorporate the dry mixture into the liquid mixture slowly and stir well. You can use a dough hook on an electric mixer or knead it by hand to mix the ingredients together. Keep kneading it until it becomes elastic and smooth. Add some extra flour if the dough is too moist.
- Let the dough rise. Form the dough into a ball and place it in a bowl coated with vegetable oil. Put the plastic wrap over it, and let it sit for 30-60 minutes. You can also put the dough inside the refrigerator, but the dough will require an extra hour of proofing this way. If you're not ready to make the doughnuts yet, you can always freeze the dough before it rises to save it for later.
- Roll the dough out on a flour-coated surface until the dough is 1/2-inch thick.
- Cut the dough into 3-inch circles. Use a smaller 1-inch cutter to make the holes. Plastic bottle caps or martini shaker caps work well for this job. The doughnut holes can be recombined to make more doughnuts, or they can be fried along with the rest of the doughnuts.
- Pour the oil into a skillet and heat it to 360°F (182°C). You can use a meat thermometer or an infrared temperature scanner to test the temperature.
- Place the doughnuts into the hot oil, taking caution not to splash it. Use a spoon or spatula that has drip holes to let the oil flow out.
- Flip them over after 60 seconds, or until one side turns golden-brown. If you are making doughnut holes, fry them for 30 seconds per side.
- Remove them from the skillet with tongs, a wooden spoon, or chopsticks.
- Place the doughnuts onto a plate layered with two paper towels. This will help reduce the fat content of the doughnuts.
- Make and apply the glaze to the doughnuts. In a small bowl, mix confectioners' sugar, hot water, and whatever extract you chose (i.e. almond, vanilla, lemon) until smooth and creamy. Dip the still-warm doughnuts into glaze and let excess drip off.
- Add cinnamon, sugar, icing, or any other toppings.
- You can also use a fryer instead of a skillet to quickly and efficiently fry the doughnuts.
EditThings You'll Need - 2 large bowls
- Whisk
- Large spoon
- Plastic wrap
- Large metal skillet
- Large plate

| How to Hang a Large Canvas Posted: 29 Mar 2018 01:00 AM PDT If you have a large canvas painting or picture that you can't wait to display, you may be wondering the best way to hang it in your home. You will need to prepare your canvas and take some measurements to figure out the best placement for your new lovely piece of art. When you're done, your friends may think you had help hanging it from a gallery professional! EditPreparing Your Canvas and Gathering Supplies - Check the mounting hardware on the canvas. Check the quality of the frame and wire on the back of the canvas by holding the canvas by the wire and lifting it up and down a few times, as if lifting weights. If you don't hear any creaking or feel any give to the wire, it should be secure to hang.[1]
- Add mounting hardware and wire to the canvas if necessary. If your canvas doesn't come with hanging wire, or if you need to replace it, you can do so by attaching two D-rings with screws to both sides of the back of the canvas. With a ruler, measure 1/3-1/4 down the back of the canvas from its top and make a mark in pencil. Use the exact same measurement on both sides. Attach the D-rings with screws at the pencil marks.
- Measure your wire across the width of the canvas and cut it so that it is longer than the D-rings on both sides. You need it longer to have enough wire for twisting. Twist the wire around each D-ring and underneath itself several times so that it is knotted and secure. Clip any excess wire.
- Use a wire gauge that can withstand the weight of your canvas. Most picture wire packaging will display how much weight the wire can hold, but ask a hardware store employee if you are unsure.[2]
- Obtain picture mounting hardware for the wall. Painting hooks are available at most hardware stores, and they come in up through varieties. You can double them up for heavier canvases. Floreat hangers are a popular brand because the nails are tempered, they go in at the appropriate 30 degree angle, and are relative easy to remove in case of error.[3]
- Obtain drywall anchors if necessary. For pieces over , you will want to install drywall anchors at your hanging point. The best type to use are expanding metal screws that are driven into the wall with a hammer and then screwed in to create a flange behind the drywall.
- Follow all directions carefully on the packaging when installing drywall anchors.
- For hanging a canvas on other wall material such as brick or concrete, you will need to use mortar or concrete anchors.[4]
EditMeasuring the Placement for Your Canvas - Measure the height of your canvas and divide that number by 2. This will give you the halfway height, or midpoint, of your canvas, which is important in determining how high up on the wall your canvas should go. Use a tape measure to measure the height, divide by 2, and write this number down.[5]
- Add the halfway height number to your ideal height. Your ideal height is how high on the wall you want the center of your canvas to be. Most galleries place the center of a canvas at average eye level, or from the floor. If you are hanging the canvas above furniture, it still looks best with the center at this height; you will just want to leave between the bottom of the canvas and the top of the furniture. This works for most pieces except especially tall ones.
- Try holding the piece with the center at from the floor, and if the canvas bottom is closer than to the top of your couch (or table, etc.), you may want to find a different space for the canvas.
- For instance, if the halfway height of your canvas is , and your ideal height is from the floor, the number you'll write down is .[6]
- Subtract the distance between the top of the artwork and the highest point of the picture wire. Measure the distance between the top of your canvas and the highest point in the wire on the back, if it is stretched up to its highest point. Subtract this number from the number in the previous step. This will give you the distance from the floor that you will mark your hanging point.
- For instance, using the same size canvas as the previous example, if the distance between the top of the canvas and the highest point on the picture wire is , you'll subtract from . This point, from the floor, is where your mounting hook will go into the wall.[7]
- Mark where you will place your hook on the wall with pencil. Measure from the floor the number that you got in the last step. This is where your hook(s) will hang on the wall.[8]
EditHanging and Leveling Your Canvas - Hammer your hook(s) into the wall. A single hook or nail will go directly onto the point that you marked on the wall. For heavier pieces, or if you want to be extra sure that your canvas will not shift with vibrations, use two hooks spaced from each other. From the central point, measure to the left, and to the right, and mark two new spots to hammer in two hooks.
- To be sure that multiple hook points are the exact same height, measure the distance from them to the floor and adjust if needed before hammering the hooks into place.[9]
- Place your canvas on the hook(s). Carefully set the wire onto the hook(s) attached to the wall. Adjust the canvas to look as straight and level as you can from where you are standing.[10]
- Use a level to check that the canvas is straight. Gently place a level at the top of your canvas. If the bubble in the tube is in the center of the two lines, then your canvas is level. If the bubble slides more to one side or the other, your picture is slanted. Adjust the canvas as needed until the bubble falls in the center of the level's tube.[11]
EditThings You'll Need - 2 D-rings and 2 screws (optional)
- Picture hanging wire and wire cutters (optional)
- One or two pieces of picture mounting hardware (ex. Floreat hooks)
- Tape measure or ruler
- Pencil and paper
- Hammer
- Drywall, mortar, or concrete anchors (optional)
- A level
