hi travis! i have two questions that i'm hoping you won't mind answering. (1)Make-up care. Exactly how long are foundations, eye shadows, eye liners are useable? I'm sure months are the limit but i'm not sure how many months. (2)Hair care. I do know that you put conditioner after shampooing but i'm also using the mayo hair treatment and it also says to leave it in then rinse. is it possible to use conditioner AND the mayo or is it either or? Which one is best? I'm confused. :/

Hi Travis, I have a really big problem. I have brown spots on my right cheek from blackheads and worst yet I do not know which concealer,foundations and powder to use. I am light skin. This is really a big problem for me and so most times I go without makeup.

Hey Travis! I am a huge fan of yours and the Tyra show. I love makeup and would love to become a model or a makeup artist. I am looking for a new foundation right now and I was hoping that you would be able to recommend something for me. I am looking for a long lasting medium coverage foundation without SPF (which is getting harder and harder to find) I also need something that wont be to drying on my skin. I was also wondering if you had any tips for people who are trying to become a makeup artist. Thanks so much xoxo Jordanna

Why does sulfate free shampoo leave your hair so soft and full like you have used a volumizer. Is a non sulfate shampoo and conditioner better for your hair than one that contains sulfates?

Hi Travis, Greetings from a fellow West GA Alum. I'm 34 and recently started wearing Mineral Foundation. The brand I use also comes with an active veil to "conceal" problem areas and a mineral glow, but I still need something to conceal the dark circles underneath my eyes that will not interact with the mineral makeup and result in that "caked on" effect. I am also interested in your response to preventing darkening of the knees and elbows for African American women.
