What You’ll Need
Gather your regular make-up, but make sure you have a shadow or bronzer a few shades darker than your natural skin color, and a shimmering white highlight shadow. These will be your contouring shades.
Start with Foundation
Put your foundation on the way you normally do, making sure it’s blended well. Before using your powder, you’ll contour your face.
Step 1: Make a fishy face – you’ll notice where your cheekbones stick up and where the “hollows” of your cheeks should be. Using the bronzer or shadow, shade in the hollows by placing a line down the base of your cheekbones and then blending down.
Step 2: Use the bronzer to shade down the sides of your nose, using a straight line and then blending down. You can also use the bronzer on the bottom parts of the sides of your face.
Step 3: Now, you’ll want to use the highlighter. Create a line with it on the top of your nose, between the areas you shaded. You’ll also want to highlight the cheek bones, and the center of your forehead. Blend everything well. Highlight your brow bone, under your eyebrows as well.

Read This Inspirational Story About A Woman’s Final Request To Her Pastor

Optimism and hope are two of the greatest qualities that a human being can possess. And those qualities can certainly have a long-lasting impact upon others.
That is why when I saw this stunningly beautiful story of hope, I was deeply moved. In this touching tale, a terminally ill woman asks to speak with her pastor during her final days. What she asks of her spiritual advisor seems just as expected, until she makes one absolutely bizarre request: to be buried with a fork. When I hear the reason why? It is definitely hard not to be moved to tears.
This piece has been circulating around the internet for several years, just like the one about the strange man who interrupted a funeral. People around the world have been affected by this woman’s story because its message is one of unwavering positivity and deep faith.
bible
There was a woman who had been diagnosed with a deadly illness and had been given three months to live. So as she was getting her things “in order,” she contacted her pastor and had him come to her house to discuss certain aspects of her final wishes.
She told him which songs she wanted sung at the service, what scriptures she would like read, and what outfit she wanted to be buried in. The woman also told her pastor that she wanted to be buried with her favorite Bible. Everything was in order and the pastor was preparing to leave when the woman suddenly remembered something very important to her.
“There’s one more thing,” she said excitedly.
“What’s that?” came the pastor’s reply.
“This is very important,” the woman continued. “I want to be buried with a fork in my right hand.”
Comforting a Patient
The pastor stood looking at the woman not knowing quite what to say. “That surprises you, doesn’t it?” the woman asked.
“Well, to be honest, I’m puzzled by the request,” said the pastor.
The woman explained, “In all my years of attending church socials and potluck dinners, I always remember that when the dishes of the main course were being cleared, someone would inevitably lean over and say ‘You can keep your fork.’ It was my favorite part because I knew that something better was coming… like velvety chocolate cake or deep-dish apple pie. Something wonderful, and with substance!
“So I just want people to see me there in that casket with a fork in my hand and I want them to wonder, ‘What’s with the fork?’ Then I want you to tell them: ‘Keep your fork… the best is yet to come.’”
fork
The pastor’s eyes were welled up with tears of joy as he hugged the woman goodbye. He knew this would be one of the last times he would see her before her death. But he also knew that the woman had a better grasp of Heaven than he did. She knew that something better was coming.
At the funeral, people were walking by the woman’s casket and they saw the pretty dress she was wearing and her favorite Bible and the fork placed in her right hand. Over and over, the pastor heard the question, ‘What’s with the fork?’ And over and over he smiled.
During his message, the pastor told the people of the conversation he had with the woman shortly before she died. He also told them about the fork and about what it symbolized to her. The pastor told the people how he could not stop thinking about the fork and told them that they probably would not be able to stop thinking about it either. He was right.
So the next time you reach down for your fork, let it remind you, oh so gently, that the best is yet to come…

THE SERENITY PRAYER

GOD GRANT ME THE SERENITY
TO ACCEPT THE THINGS I CANNOT CHANGE;
COURAGE TO CHANGE THE THINGS I CAN;
AND WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.

LIVING ONE DAY AT A TIME;
ENJOYING ONE MOMENT AT A TIME;
ACCEPTING HARDSHIPS AS THE PATHWAY TO PEACE;
TAKING, AS HE DID, THIS SINFUL WORLD
AS IT IS, NOT AS I WOULD HAVE IT;
TRUSTING THAT HE WILL MAKE ALL THINGS RIGHT
IF I SURRENDER TO HIS WILL;
THAT I MAY BE REASONABLY HAPPY IN THIS LIFE
AND SUPREMELY HAPPY WITH HIM
FOREVER IN THE NEXT.
AMEN.
