bead is a petite and commonly round object that has a hole in the center where a string or a specialized yarn can be inserted to join a number of beads together. Beads are commonly used for decorations on handbags, gowns, blouses and other articles of clothing, or strung together to form jewelry. Beads are always used in a group because emphasis is best achieved when a bundle of colorful beads is used to depict a meaning or to accent a feature. Beads are made in every color and from different materials including glass, metal, wood, plastic, and stones. Some organic beads have also been made of grains of corn, beans, seeds, and acorns.

Seed beads are tiny and circular in shape and their dimension is usually about one-eighth inch or three millimeters in diameter.

The face powder is a staple in a woman’s make up kit. It is an item that can be used to easily make touch ups in the face after a long day. Face powder comes in two common forms which are loose powder and press powder.

Loose powder is a form of face powder that comes in a plastic container usually in the form of a bottle. Loose powder is applied on the face by pouring some of it on your palm and gently putting it on your face. To be able to apply it evenly on your face, you can put spots of it on your face then gently smudge it all over to achieve an even tone. Another way is put it in a piece of cloth such as a paper towel or a handkerchief and then wiping it all over your face.

On the other hand, press powder or a compact face powder is easier to apply compared to loose powder. A compact face powder usually comes in a flat container with a sponge. The sponge is used to apply the powder on the face to obtain an even application. For hygienic purposes, you should replace your sponge every three months. Similar with how you handle personal belongings, you should not share your sponge with other people.
