What more could you want?"
Click here to check out the gallery.
What, indeed. This week's archive gallery takes a look at Popular Science's best beauty advice, some of which is spot-on (use a stencil to keep your lipstick from smudging!), some of which is less so (electrocute yourself to get rid of a double chin!).

Be honest and yes you can be tactfully not honest to spare feelings. If confronted about the tactfully not honest part, then spill the beans and tell the whole truth.
Laughter is forgiveness in action. Laugh at yourself and the world. Try to learn to forgive easily.
Do not cheat in friendships and love.
Be morally correct to a fault. So develop your moral fortitude. This means be good, even if you know you will not get caught being bad.
Take good care of yourself in what you eat and yes exercise too.
