Face fuzz Chivalry isn�t dead, but it has faded. Gone are the days when the man paid for you, no questions asked, and he picked you up at your doorstep. However, one thing remains the same: men want to feel macho and hold their own. Unfortunately, women with extra face fuzz are not considered as feminine and can throw off his game. Heavy or dark hair around the lips and sideburns can create shadows. Remove excess facial hair with an at-home wax. Choose a gentle, honey-based formula (try Gigi Azulene Wax, $11.54).

I really wasn't TOO offended by this article... I have been trying to get rid of my acne and dark circles... but when they mentioned big nose I almost started to cry, because I have a big nose that I've always hated, and contouring really dosn't make it look smaller at all :,\

Too bad I have a few of these, including the big nose. It makes me mad when people mention my big nose, and it makes me want to keep it even more, to prove that I love myself just the way I am, that i'm confident, and i'm slowly learning to love my face. I don't think I should have to hide my big nose under makeup (I do however use makeup to cover acne marks, but the nose makeup idea is just outrageous) just for some guy who should like me just the way I am, and other women should be the same.
