How to Make Fingerprint Powder

Posted: 24 Jul 2022 01:00 AM PDT

No two people have matching fingerprints. Even identical twins have small differences in their fingerprints that make each one unique. When a person touches glass or other hard surfaces, they leave their prints behind. If you create your own fingerprint powder, you can easily lift these prints away from hard surfaces and examine them.

[Edit]Steps

[Edit]Mixing Fingerprint Powder

  1. Gather your materials. You will need corn starch, a measuring cup, a lighter or matches, a candle, a ceramic bowl, a knife or paintbrush, and a mixing bowl.[1] The mixing bowl can be glass, plastic, or ceramic. However, you can't substitute the ceramic bowl for another kind of bowl. The process of making the fingerprint powder can crack glass and melt plastic.
    Make Fingerprint Powder Step 1 Version 4.jpg
    • If you decide that making your own powder is too much trouble, you can buy it from science and hobby supply stores or online.
  2. Use the bowl and candle to create soot. First, use the lighter or the matches to light the candle. Next, hold the bottom of the ceramic bowl over the flame. The candle will burn a layer of soot onto the bottom of the bowl.[2] Move the bowl over the flame so that every part of the bottom touches the candle.

    • Wear an oven mitt or use a dishtowel to protect your hand from the heat.
    • Always be careful when working with an open flame. Children should have adult supervision.
  3. Scrape off the soot into the mixing bowl. Hold the soot-covered bowl over the mixing bowl. Next, use a dull knife or a paintbrush to scrape the soot off of the ceramic bowl and into the mixing bowl. You will have about a teaspoon of soot. The more soot you have, the more fingerprint powder you will be able to make.

    • Repeat these steps to make more soot as many times as you'd like.
    • Scraping soot is very messy. If you want to avoid getting soot on your fingers, wear gloves. Similarly, cover your workspace with a towel to keep it clean.
  4. Mix the soot with corn starch. Use a measuring cup to evaluate how much soot you have gathered. Next, add an equal part of corn starch to the soot. Mix the two powders together well with a whisk.

    • For example, if you collected a ¼ cup of soot, you would need to add a ¼ cup of corn starch.
  5. Store the powder in an airtight container. Place the fingerprint powder in a plastic food storage container with a lid. Alternatively, store your fingerprint powder in a plastic re-sealable bag. These containers are airtight and won't allow any moisture into your powder.

    • Keep the container on a shelf in a low-traffic area. Otherwise, someone may knock the powder over and create a sooty mess.

[Edit]Lifting a Fingerprint

  1. Find a fingerprint. Search for household items that have been handled recently. Choose items with smooth surfaces. The smoother the surface, the easier it is to lift a fingerprint.[3] If you want to practice lifting fingerprints, you can make your own by touching a glass.

    • Avoid trying to lift prints from soft, pliable surfaces. These surfaces require a special fingerprinting chemical.[4]
  2. Dust the powder over the print. Once you've located your fingerprint, sprinkle some of your fingerprinting powder over it in a thin layer. Next, carefully brush the powder over the fingerprint, covering it completely. Once the print is covered, gently brush the excess powder away. You will see a dark, clearly-defined fingerprint.

    • Gently blow on the fingerprint to help remove excess powder.
  3. Use clear tape to lift the print.[5] Find some clear plastic tape. Measure out a small piece. Next, press the sticky side of the tape against the dust-covered fingerprint. Slowly pull the tape away to lift the print.

    • Smooth out any wrinkles in the tape before lifting the print.
  4. Display the fingerprint. Press the sticky side of the fingerprinted tape onto a sheet of white paper or a white note card. The contrast of the dark fingerprint against the white paper will make the print easier to examine.

[Edit]Identifying Fingerprints

  1. Catalogue your family. Ask each of your family members for a fingerprint. Tape the fingerprints on a notecard or a white sheet of paper. Record each family member's name, birthday, and gender.

    • You can catalogue one finger or all ten if you'd like. If you record all ten fingers, it will be easier to identify found prints.
  2. Classify your prints. Fingerprints come in three categories: arch, loop, and whirl. [6] These patterns are found in the lines from the fingerprints. An arch looks like a short bump. A loop looks like a long, thin arch. A whirl resembles a circle surrounded by smaller lines. These classifications are important when identifying fingerprints.

    • Write the fingerprint classification for each family member on their fingerprint card.
    • The different shapes can also lean left or right.[7] If so, indicate which direction the whirl, loop, or arch leans on the family members fingerprint card.
  3. Compare any found fingerprints. When you find fingerprints around the house, compare them to your catalogue. Look for matching classification and tilt. For example, if the fingerprint you found was a whirl that leaned to the left, you would look through your catalogue for a similarly identified print.

    • Store successfully identified fingerprints on the back of their respective fingerprint card. This will make future identifications easier.

[Edit]Tips

  • If you want to identify fingerprints on a black surface, or that of another dark color, make a white fingerprint powder instead. Mix 1/4 cup starch powder with 1/4 cup baby powder instead of soot.
  • Powdered graphite, which you can find in the key section of most hardware stores, can also be mixed with starch powder or talcum powder in the same proportions to make a fingerprint powder.
  • If you don't already have graphite powder or can't get any, you can make your own! Just scrape off the lead from an old pencil, and you've got your own graphite powder!

[Edit]Warnings

  • Always be careful when working with open flames.

[Edit]Things You'll Need

  • Corn starch
  • Ceramic bowl
  • Mixing bowl
  • Candle
  • Matches or a lighter
  • A knife or a paintbrush
  • Measuring cup

[Edit]Quick Summary

How to Remove Mascara

Posted: 23 Jul 2022 05:00 PM PDT

A simple, straightforward guide on getting that mascara off of your face

Mascara can be tough to remove, especially if it has been designed to cling to your lashes through water, sweat, and tears. Luckily, it only takes the right product (you may even find it in your kitchen cupboard) and a few minutes of your time to clean your lashes and avoid waking up with panda-bear eyes.

[Edit]Steps

[Edit]Using Natural Products

  1. Use a dab of coconut oil. Coconut oil quickly removes regular and waterproof mascara, plus it moisturizes and smooths your skin. Because it is a solid at room temperature, rub a pea-sized scoop between your (clean!) fingertips until it becomes soft and spreadable.[1]
    Remove Mascara Step 1 Version 4.jpg
    • You don't need a special coconut oil for your face--use the same coconut oil used as a cooking ingredient.[2]
    • Be aware that if you get any in your eye it can temporarily blur your vision.[3]
  2. Try jojoba oil if you have sensitive or acne-prone skin. Jojoba is actually liquid plant wax, not oil, and it is very helpful for those prone with oily skin.[4] In addition to being non-comedogenic (meaning it won't clog your pores), it is a non-allergenic and won't irritate your eyes like some oils can.[5]
    Remove Mascara Step 2 Version 4.jpg
    • Jojoba can also moisturize the skin around your eyes and condition your lashes.[6]
  3. Use olive oil to remove mascara. Olive oil breaks down the mascara on your face. It can also help cleanse the skin around your eyes, moisturize, and remove troublesome makeup.[7]
    Remove Mascara Step 3 Version 4.jpg
  4. Try avocado oil. It is one of the most moisturizing oils[8] and, like other oils, easily dissolves and cuts through makeup. Look for dark avocado oil in a tinted container, which will preserve the quality of the product.
    Remove Mascara Step 4 Version 4.jpg
    • Next time you make guacamole you can even try using avocado oil straight from the fruit! Cut the avocado in half and use a cotton swab to lift the oils from the inside (don't gouge it--you don't want any green stuff on your swab).[9]

[Edit]Using Commercial Products

  1. Buy an eye-makeup remover formulated for your skin type. There are tons of options for makeup removers, so try narrowing down the choices by what works best for your skin. If you have oily skin or break out often, look for something oil-free. If you have very sensitive skin, you'll want a gentle, fragrance-free remover.[10]
    Remove Mascara Step 5 Version 4.jpg
    • Oil is a necessary ingredient when you're trying to remove waterproof mascara, because it dissolves the oils in the makeup (instead of being repelled, like water).
    • Oil-free makeup remover does exist, but it's not as effective for removing mascara as oil-based makeup removers.
    • Dual-phase cleansers are good for everyday use. These cleansers contain a water-based and oil-based mixture. Simply shake the bottle, saturate a cotton pad, and apply to your face for a gentle, effective cleanser removal.[11]
    • Cleansing water works well on sensitive skin and regular, non-waterproof mascara.[12]
  2. Try baby oil if you run out of your usual cleanser. It's best to stick to an actual eye make up remover, since it's specifically made to be used around your eyes, but baby shampoo is an effective replacement if you run out.[13]
    Remove Mascara Step 6 Version 3.jpg
    • Use a chemical and fragrance-free baby shampoo if you can. Many "no tears" formulas actually have a numbing agent, which will only mask the irritating effects.[14]
  3. Use a makeup-removing wipe when you just can't make it to the sink. Try not to use these too often, as they can be rough on the thin skin around your eyes. If the wipes are not specifically for eyes, look for a brand that is alcohol-free.[15]
    Remove Mascara Step 7 Version 3.jpg
  4. Avoid petroleum jelly (also known as mineral oil), or use very sparingly. Petroleum jelly is a byproduct of gasoline, and unless you know the brand you're using has been thoroughly refined and purified (Vaseline is one such brand), it's not something you want near your eyes.[16]
    Remove Mascara Step 8 Version 3.jpg
    • Petroleum jelly does not actively hydrate your skin. If your skin is clean and moisturized it can seal the moisture in and keep it from evaporating, but it is not a replacement for moisturizer itself.[17]

[Edit]Removing Your Mascara

  1. Wet a makeup pad with the makeup remover of your choice. Try not to oversaturate the pad, or the solution may drip on your face. Apply enough makeup remover so that the pad is just saturated.[18]

    • Don't use a cotton ball, as the fibers can detach and get in your eyes.[19]
    • If you're not sure how your skin will react to your makeup remover (whether it's coconut oil or from the drugstore), test some on your inner wrist. If you have a reaction it's better to have an inflamed wrist than an inflamed eye.
  2. Press the wet side of the pad to your closed eye and hold for 20 seconds. Don't scrub or tug on your skin, just press the pad against your lashes so the remover can begin to break down the makeup.[20]
    Remove Mascara Step 10 Version 3.jpg
    • Avoid scrunching your eye, as this can lead to a sloppy removal. Instead, lightly close your eyelid.
  3. Wipe away the mascara by using gentle, downward swipes. To remove, simply wipe down along the lashes, away from the lid. Once all of the mascara is removed from the top of the lash, place the pad slightly below the lower lash line and close the upper lash firmly on top of it.[21]

    • You can wiggle the pad a little by your lash line to help break up more stubborn mascara.[22]
    • Use cotton swab dipped in makeup remover to clean up any remaining mascara, like little flecks or smears that end up under your lower lashes.[23]
  4. Wash your face with an appropriate cleanser. Removing your makeup is not the final step in your nightly skincare routine--it's the first. Getting all the makeup off your face allows the your cleanser to get into your pores, instead of mixing with makeup and clogging them.[24]

    • Find a cleanser that is right for your skin type and gently massage it into your face. Use warm water and a facial cloth or sponge to wipe off the dirt and grime.[25]
    • Washing your face also removes any remnants of your makeup remover which, if it remains on your skin, can cause dryness or even an allergic reaction.[26]
  5. Pat your eyes dry with a soft towel. Be careful to avoid pressing down too hard, simply pat to remove excess moisture.

  6. Remove any excess residue with a q-tip and some moisturizer. If you notice any leftover dirt, you can dab at the area with a q-tip instead of reapplying makeup remover.

    Remove Mascara Step 14 Version 3.jpg
    • Make sure your moisturizer does not have SPF, which could sting your eyes.

[Edit]Video

[Edit]Warnings

  • Don't pull the mascara off using your fingernails.
  • Even with the most natural solutions, try your best not to get any makeup remover in your eye.
  • Don't leave mascara on overnight.

How to Work Two Part Time Jobs Instead of One Full Time Job

Posted: 23 Jul 2022 09:00 AM PDT

There are many reasons why one would choose to work two part-time jobs, instead of one full-time job. Perhaps you have made this choice because you enjoy the variety or want to diversify your skill set. Perhaps a job you enjoy can offer you part-time hours and you need to make up the difference. Perhaps this setup gives you the freedom to do what you love. Whatever your reasons, by managing your schedule, working to keep your stress-levels low, and tending to your life at home, you can work two part-time jobs effectively.

[Edit]Steps

[Edit]Managing Your Schedule

  1. Attain two compatible part-time jobs. In order for you to work two part-time jobs, they need to occur at different times. Search out part-time work in your area through various channels. Look for jobs that occur on different days of the week, or different times of day. Another option is to find one job that involves working from home. You may try online resources (like Monster, Glassdoor, or Career Builder), look on Craigslist, or search in your local newspaper. Carefully follow the instructions on the job calls, submit the necessary materials, and with any luck, participate in some interviews.
    Work Two Part Time Jobs Instead of One Full Time Job Step 1 Version 5.jpg
    • Be strategic with the jobs you select.
    • Two very different jobs will give you more variety and keep you on your toes.[1]
    • Two very similar jobs may help you if you're on a specific career path.[2]
    • Be sure you are looking for part-time work.
  2. Keep your schedule consistent. The smoothest way to accomplish working two part-time jobs is to figure out, and maintain, a consistent schedule. If you can keep your schedule the same from week to week, working both jobs will become a comfortable routine.[3]
    Work Two Part Time Jobs Instead of One Full Time Job Step 2 Version 5.jpg
  3. Be honest with those around you. It may be tempting to try and keep your jobs secret from one another. However, if your employers and/or clients are aware that you're working multiple jobs, they can give you the time you need to get things done. They may be more respectful of your schedule. They may view you as an even harder worker.[4]
    Work Two Part Time Jobs Instead of One Full Time Job Step 3 Version 5.jpg
    • Make sure each employer understands that you can only work part-time from the beginning.
    • The sooner you inform your employers of one another, the better. You may consider mentioning it in your interview.
    • You may say, "Will it be possible to maintain a consistent work schedule? I work Mondays and Wednesday evenings for [name of other employer], so I will not be available. On Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays you will have my full attention."
  4. Plan your week ahead of time. If you're not able to keep a consistent schedule from week to week (or even if you are), it is a fantastic idea to sit down and plan your whole week in advance. Use a paper planner, or an online one, to pencil in both jobs, commuting times, breaks, and any other obligations or chores. Use different colors for various activities to help keep you organized.[5]

  5. Keep your jobs separate. It is important to resist overlapping your jobs and trying to do both at once (such as being logged into a telecommuting job, while on the clock at your office job). Combining jobs may seem like an efficient use of time, but in actuality, you will make mistakes and both jobs will suffer.[6]

[Edit]Keeping Your Stress-Level Low

  1. Aim for a short commute. One of the keys to managing two part-time jobs is keeping your stress-level low. One way to accomplish this is to aim for a minimal commute. If both of your jobs are close to one another (and ideally also close to home), then you will be able to travel between them more easily. This will minimize the time you could spend worrying about getting to work on time. Keep location in mind when selecting your jobs.[7]

    • If working two jobs close to each other is not an option, consider working different jobs only on different days.
    • This way, you won't need to travel between them.
  2. Make a daily checklist. In addition to maintaining a consistent schedule and planning your week ahead of time, it is important to create a new checklist each day. When you are working more than one job, it can be easy to get confused and let obligations slip. Instead, each morning sit down and make a list of everything you need to accomplish that day at each of your jobs. Then when you are at work, simply move down the list, tackling projects one by one.[8]

  3. Set limits for yourself. An important component of managing multiple jobs is remembering to sometimes say "no." You are not going to be able to always take the overtime, or the extra project, or attend every training seminar. Working multiple jobs will have you stretched thin, and you will need to protect the precious time that you have.[9]

    • Set limits for yourself, such as maintaining one full day off each week, never working past 7:00pm, or never exceeding 50 hours per week.
  4. Plan some breaks. Along the same lines as setting limits, it is crucial for you to plan some breaks into your work schedule. If you do not prioritize taking breaks, you are likely to burn out. When you are figuring out your schedule, aim for at least a two-hour break between jobs, and one full day off each week.[10][11]

  5. Truly take some time off. In order for your breaks to be effective, you must really use them as breaks. When you're not working, don't think about work. When you are on break, don't check email or try to get caught up on work-related tasks. Instead, spend time with friends and family, simply sit and enjoy a meal, or do something else fun to get your mind off of work.[12]

[Edit]Managing Your Home Life

  1. Work out a budget. When you have more than one revenue stream, it is important to keep careful track of your income and spending. Take some time to figure out how much money you plan to bring in, and how much you will need to spend on expenses. Make sure you plan to put some money away in case of emergency.[13]

    • You may need to consider budgeting some extra money for health insurance.
    • When working two part-time jobs (instead of one full-time job), you may not be offered insurance through your work.
  2. Plan your meals. When you are working two part-time jobs, you will not have as much time to prepare healthy food. As such, it is important to take some time to plan your meals ahead of time. Otherwise, you will end up wasting money on quick food options and jeopardizing your health.[14]

    • Consider using a slow cooker. You can add ingredients before work and come home to a nice meal.
    • Consider making large batches of food on your day off and eating leftovers throughout the week.
  3. Find time to exercise. With so much time spent working and commuting, it may be easy to let exercise go by the wayside. However, working toward good health will be a crucial factor in allowing you to maintain both jobs effectively. This will help you reduce stress and stay focused.[15]

    • Set aside just 20-30 minutes per day to do something active.
    • Try taking a walk on your lunch break, doing a quick yoga practice before work, or completing a step-aerobics video in the evening.
  4. Talk to your family. Whenever you make a big life change, it is important to talk things over with your family. The decision to work two part-time jobs can have a big effect on your spouse and/or kids. Be sure to talk things over with them and work together to make a plan. This way, you can effectively juggle home responsibilities as a team.[16]

    • There are several ways that this change can impact your family. It is a good idea to touch on all that affect you.
    • These can include: more time away from home, less income coming in, general busyness, and a general change-up of normal routines.

[Edit]Warnings

  • Doing two part-time jobs is more than a single full-time job.
  • Your loyalties and focus may feel pulled in different directions, which can be disorienting.
