I found lipstick on my boyfriend's collar. He swears it's his mom's. How can I know for sure?
Check the color. I can guarantee you that his mother, and the skanky homewrecker he's cheating on you with, don't wear the same shade.

What's the best way to ask a makeup artist out on a date?
The same way you would ask out a rocket scientist or a champion diver: sincerely and avoiding weak pickup lines at all costs.

What's the biggest turn-off for you, makeup wise?
This isn't "makeup" per se, but it falls under the cosmetics category: dousing yourself in cologne/perfume. I don't care how much you spent on it, a little spritz is enough. More than enough in some cases.

Do you appreciate a naked, clean face?
I certainly do! I know better than anyone the things that makeup does to your face. A clean naked face is a happy face.

What's the best way to pull off an open relationship?
Be absolutely clear about your expectations from the get-go. If your partner is unclear on what you expect or vice-versa, that's when someone gets hurt. I know it seems awkward to lay down the ground rules like a dictator on the second date, but you'll save yourself much confusion later on. And if things change, let them know.

Doing someone's makeup can be pretty intimate. Ever get the urge to lean in and kiss a customer?
Not yet. But "makeup artist" is synonymous with "cheap therapist." We know all of your secrets by the end of the day.

Nina, 29

I found lipstick on my boyfriend's collar. He swears it's his mom's. How can I know for sure?
I've learnt never to assume anything. Having said that, when you see it, take a deep breath, find your calm self and talk to him in a casual way. Be like, "Hey baby, you've got a stain here. What is it? I wanna know if the stain remover will get it out." Suspicion breeds suspicion, making it harder to gauge the honesty of his response.

What's the biggest turn-off for you, makeup wise?
Too much foundation in the wrong color. And too much makeup in general.

Is it okay for boys to wear makeup? Eyeliner? Foundation?
If you're going to wear it, make sure to get the right color and blend well.

My boyfriend wants to take some nudie pics of me, but I'd hate for them to fall into the wrong hands. What should I do?
This comes with absolute trust. If you're already questioning it, don't do it.

Do you appreciate a naked, clean face?
Absolutely. And a well-moisturized one, please.
