are only on here for my use!
I'm in my first year of four studying pharmaceuticals at university, and am aiming for the cosmetic industry. I love seeing the connection between producing and using cosmetic products, and have a huge love for all things nail varnish!
I have tried to contact TAAZ about removing my position as a featured contributor, but have had no success.. So apologies because university life is much busier and I'm not sure how often I'll have time to come on here!
Follow me on TAAZ for regular updates on my activity, and 'like' my page "Unprofessional Nails" (the one with multi-coloured nails as the profile pic) if you share my passion for nail art, on Facebook.

TAAZ Makeover Tips
How to get the best out of the TAAZ makeover feature:
The automatic face recognition tool can be inaccurate; the colours don't fit into the picture; the eyeliner is the wrong shape... Here's how I've learnt to avoid these little makeover mishaps!
Caviar Nails
One of the most recent popular trends
Have you seen these in magazines, online, or even the caviar itself in the bottle, and wondered how it would turn out if done at home? Wonder no longer! I found this product so easy to use! It was my birthday recently, and seeing as I LOVE nail art, most of my friends…
Tips and Tricks for People with Paler Skin:
Orange foundation, panda eyes and too much bronzer...We all want to find the right tones to match our skin and smooth it out like the models and proffessionals do in magazines. Let's face it: we all know they edit those images too much, but we still want to look…

How to make a cream contour kit more creamy?
carrotstar answered...
“I suspect it's made for sponge or foundation pad application rather than blush application.”
What kind of foundation is best for oily and sensitive skin?
carrotstar answered...
“If possible, I'd steer clear of foundation and use a mineral powder or something similar. That way the powder will hide the oil rather than reacting with it. Try also to minimise oiliness by only using a very light moisturiser if absolutely necessary and…”
How can I make my eyes look larger?
carrotstar answered...
“You don't have particularly small eyes, but they are quite spaced apart. I would suggest focusing on extending the eyes towards one another by accentuating the inner corner. Try a light, metallic eye shadow just on the inner corners and a white eyeliner on…”
I have MAJOR dark circles under my eyes and nothing works on them, what do I…
carrotstar answered...
“What do you mean by 'nothing works on them'? Short-term, look for good coverage concealers which you can use during the day to lighten the area. Long-term, think about your diet, water consumption and general health. What you're consuming will…”
I relaxed my hair for the first time and now it feels disgusting, what should I…
carrotstar answered...
“You say get the hair back to normal, but the relaxing technique removes build-up and shows you what your hair is really like without all the products. Short-term, invest in some good quality conditioning products such as masks. Long-term, think about your hair…”
What is this jacket called?
carrotstar answered...
“It's almost a thin coat rather than a blazer I think - blazers are more fitted and much more formal”
What hair colour Would look best on me
carrotstar answered...
“I'm thinking a subtle change, such as to a dark golden blonde or light golden brown would be flattering.”
i have ankle length hair which i am think about having cut either shaved off…
carrotstar answered...
“I would suggest something easy to look after seeing as you're not used to styling that amount of hair. However, it also needs to take into consideration your face shape, especially if you are choosing a short cut. A pixie cut or angular bob will suit someone…”
what coloure of hair suite me most?
carrotstar answered...
“I would suggest not straying too far from your natural colour, whatever that may be, as it will always suit your skin tone the best. However, a slightly less harsh tone of brown, such as a more red tone, might flatter your skin a little better.”
How do I make my hair grow faster ?
carrotstar answered...
“Using products on your hair won't affect its growth rate because all of the growth takes place in the roots, which products don't reach. The best way to encourage growth is to change your diet by incorporating more vitamins and minerals (naturally, not…”
What to wear with this skirt...
carrotstar answered...
“Hi! :) I would suggest a simple red vest with a lace bolero or lace crop top over it would be quite flattering. You definitely want a tight section over your waist so make sure the bolero/crop top isn't too long, but allows the red colour to show through as well.”
What should I do with my hair?
carrotstar answered...
“If your hair is naturally straight, then a full fringe could really suit you as it would disguise your forehead and you wouldn't need to style it. What do your parents think of it now? A short bob with fringe could suit you if you're allowed it?”
What solution can you give for frizzy hair?
carrotstar answered...
“Unfortunately there's nothing you can do about baby hairs except use hair removal techniques which could go horribly wrong! My best advice would be to wear hairstyles that hide them or have a haircut which hides them, such as a fringe to cover the short areas…”
what to wear with these shoes?
carrotstar answered...
“I'd suggest some simple skinny jeans or leggings would accent them the best.”
will i lose highlights if I use permanent color over them?
carrotstar answered...
“The highlights will always be slightly lighter than the rest of your hair if you block dye it, but they might not be as obvious as you want them to be. I suggest adding a few of your own before dying. They should blend well seeing as you already have a base of them to start…”
Should I dye my hair blonde
carrotstar answered...
“I'd suggest going for a darker honey blonde would hold a little more colour. If you wanted to you could blend it into your natural colour using highlights instead of block dying. This will also make any roots less obvious.”
How can I get my hair back to all over brown after a balayage ombre?
carrotstar answered...
“If you block dye over ombre, the bottom will always be a different colour to the top. I would recommend dying the bottom the same colour as the top, and then block dying again over the top if required. If the tips are light, choose a colour slightly darker than the top…”
Hair colour?
carrotstar answered...
“I'd suggest steering clear of black as it will blend into your outfits. However something like turquoise will be nice and bright and bold. Go for a colour which will complement most of your clothes.”
How do I get my bangs to stay down!!!????
carrotstar answered...
“When you blow dry them, keep your head upright rather than upside-down and use the lowest temperature and speed setting. This might take a bit longer, but will hopefully help it to settle. Also if you have had a thin fringe put in, adding more thickness might help…”
