WITH GIA MAZUR

Amplify regular makeup look for prom

went to almost a dozen formals during my time in high school. Getting ready wasn’t as easy as it is now. I didn’t have thousands of YouTube tutorials at my fingertips. I had knowledge gleaned from magazines, tricks from experience and tips I traded with girlfriends. Today, there are tons of resources, but speaking purely as a prom veteran, here are the things you need to keep in mind to look as good as you feel at prom.

3/1 - 3 Tools No Box 3/2 - Sarah Carne MON & TUES: 4PM-12AM WED & THURS: 11AM-12AM FRI: 11AM-2AM SAT: 12PM-2AM • SUN: 12PM-2AM SUN: MON: TUES: THURS: FRI: SAT:

Be extra for the camera The camera sucks the life out of us. You take tons of photos at prom, so you’re going to need to amp up your regular makeup. Wear a base (foundation, BB cream) with more coverage than you usually opt for. Apply false lashes or swipe on an extra coat of mascara. Wear eyeliner and, more importantly, tight-line your eyes by lining your upper water line.

Make it last The best long-lasting makeup tip comes from Beyoncé’s makeup artist, Sir John: Put down a cream base and layer powder over it. Cream blush, then powder blush. Cream contour, then powder contour, etc.

Put foundation on your ears It sounds weird, but think about if you’re wearing an updo: if your ears are a different shade than your face (and especially if they’re lighter), they’re going to stand out or even look larger in pictures.

Lips and lashes, always

Be careful not to go too trendy, but glowy skin will never be out of style. Opt for a spray tan (do a trial run first) or make your own shimmer body lotion. Exfoliate in the shower, then crush up and mix glimmery powder bronzer with body lotion. (Just be careful not to get it on your dress.)

If you don’t follow any of my other advice, please at least do NOT skip mascara or lipstick. Mascara defines your eyes in photos. Lipstick, even in a shade slightly darker than your natural color, will make you look more polished.

Fill in your brows

Be prepared

I grew up in the mid-2000s, and we destroyed our eyebrows. You know better now, so please enhance those beautiful full brows. You don’t have to go super dark and opaque — just shade in the center (where your brow hair is naturally thicker) and in any sparse areas. For an easier option, grab a tinted brow

Leave no room for mishaps by bringing essentials: extra bobby pins, travel-size hair spray, lash glue, eyeliner, lipstick, makeup remover wipes, blotting papers. You should be having the time of your life — not worrying about looking anything less than fabulous.

Up Close & Personal WITH EMMA BLACK

As a 17-year-old grieving the loss of her father, Amanda Gentile made a decision that would lead her down her eventual career path. A Dunmore native, she is a graduate of Scranton Preparatory School and earned a bachelor’s degree in communication with a minor in psychology from University of Scranton. She has a master’s degree in counseling psychology from Rosemont College and is a licensed professional counselor. She also owns the Giving Tree Wellness Center on Penn Avenue in downtown Scranton. Gentile lives in Moscow with her cats Lynx and Kiki and dog Zo. Meet Amanda Gentile...

Q: A:

Tell me a little about yourself. I grew up in Dunmore. When I was 17, my dad passed away, and I didn’t know if I should stay in the area for school or not, but my family needed me. So I stayed home, then realized I wanted to venture out, because I love to travel. I moved to Philadelphia for a few years, probably about five years, and got my master’s and loved it. I worked at a couple places and realized I wanted the whole holistic thing, so I decided to take a risk.

structured session. It’s more real to me, and I can be myself.

What is it like to interact with so many different people and help someone who could be going through very difficult things? I think it’s awesome. I really like working with teenagers and young women. It’s a good feeling to know that they can come here and feel comfortable and they can utilize any other service even if they’re not sitting in my office. Sometimes I see recurring people in the hallways. After they see me, they’ll work out or float, and it’s awesome. It’s satisfying to know that I’m helping them feel comfortable.

Q: A:

What other hobbies and interests do you have? I like to travel a lot. My mom lives in Montana half of the year. I like to go visit her. I love to go to Jackson Hole, Wyoming, and I love to go anywhere warm. Those are big things. Any time the weekend comes, I love taking day trips too. I love my pets; they’re like my children. I love cooking. It’s good meditation for me. I also love working out, especially here. It’s a good de-stressor.

Q: A:

What is a piece of simple advice you would give to help brighten someone’s day? You have to remind yourself daily of what you’re grateful for. Even just being thankful that you got up today and you have a roof over your head, remind yourself that things could be way worse if you think they’re that bad. Set your intentions for that day and remind yourself of the positives.

Q: A:

Have you had a particularly moving experience in your professional or personal life? I think my dad’s passing was a big thing. I’m at a point where I just have to live my life for every day. You have to take risks because you could wake up tomorrow and not be here. I suffer sometimes from a lot of anxiety, and I need to talk myself through it. I was put here to do something. I think everybody needs to find their path in life. My family and I live for every day. I can say I tried. I can never turn back; I can only move forward.

Hazleton native heads to ‘Edge of Extinction’ Mini movies

BY JILL WHALEN staff writer

ulia Carter had just one month to prepare to be a contestant on CBS’s “Survivor,” which filmed last year in the Mamanuca Islands of Fiji. “With only a month, I knew I wouldn’t get into stellar shape so I thought about the best ways to use my time,” said Carter, a 2011 graduate of Hazleton Area High School. Carter wasn’t allowed to discuss the show’s outcome, but she recalled how she went into the season n o t k n ow i n g a ny t h i n g about it or who she would be playing with. She found out right away that she would be playing a very different game. “As soon as we got there, (host) Jeff Probst lets us know that it was Survivor Season 38 ‘Edge of Extinction,’” Carter recalled. “‘Edge of Extinction?’ I thought, ‘What the heck does that mean? Who’s becoming extinct? What does that mean?’ He didn’t explain it.” The daughter of Catherine Carter and stepdaughter of Douglas Keen, WilkesBarre, Carter now works as a medical assistant in Bethesda, Maryland. To prepare for the show, which debuted last Wednesday on CBS, she studied episodes from the previous 37 seasons. She took notes and tried to determine which strategies worked best, and which contestant’s personality was most like her own. Like in previous seasons of “Survivor,” 18 contestants are taken to a remote location where they must provide food, water, fire and shelter for themselves. They also compete in challenges for rewards and for immunity from elimination. Contestants then are

“Survivor” casting call in Wilkes-Barre. “I thought I might as well go to double my chances,” she said. In April 2018, she received a call from CBS. At first, she “thought it was a joke” and fired off questions to the caller. “I had to make sure it was legit,” Carter said with a laugh. Sure enough, she shipped out to the South Pacific in May. “Fiji is beautiful. It’s very tropical,” Carter said. “Overall, it had a moderate climate and a typical kind of island vibe. It was very hot, but it wasn’t the rainy season there, so it wasn’t too bad as far as any storms.” The experience, however, came with a transition. “Although you’re on a beautiful island, you have to realize that you’re actually in the game,” she said. “You have limited resources, limited food, and you’re really exposed to the elements.” And, Carter said, you’re surrounded by strangers. “You’re not sure if you can trust them,” she said. Carter joked that she plans to watch the show “more times than you can imagine.” It airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. “I am going from being a fan to a player to a fan again,” she said.

Carter initially applied to the show about three years ago, recording a two-minute video to talk about her life and why she wanted to play. “And then I submitted it off into the universe,” she said.

Alita: Battle Angel: in a dystopian future, an abandoned cyborg with unique fighting skills is revived by a fatherly physician (Christoph waltz).

Cold Pursuit: Liam Neeson stars in what might look like another Liam Neesom thriller, but as the bodies pile up, it quickly becomes evident that this bat-bleep crazy story of a father seeking vengeance is an action comedy, with the emphasis on the comedy.

Fighting with My Family: i loved hanging out with this movie, the story of a wwe diva known as Paige and her origins in a small-time wrestling family in Norwich, england. the broad physical shtick and dryly funny one-liners win laughs, but what comes as a surprise is how often the film is genuinely moving. it’s just a big bowl of uplifting fun. Rated PG-13 for crude and sexual material, language throughout, some violence and drug content. 108 minutes. ★★★ 1/2 — RICHARD ROEPER

Happy Death Day 2U: there’s a surprisingly sweet heart lurking beneath all the bloody rinse-and-repeat hijinks in this cheerfully twisted sequel, following up on the college student (Jessica rothe) who relives her murder over and over.

WWE Superstar Mandy Rose brings ‘SmackDown Live’ to arena

t’s an exciting time to be Mandy Rose. And according to the World Wrestling Entertainment Superstar, it’s an exciting time to be a woman in sports entertainment in general. “Every place women are just taking over. It’s only up from here,” Rose said during a recent phone interview. “Women keep achieving new milestones and breaking down barriers.” Fans can see Rose and other Superstars on “SmackDown Live!” on Tuesday, March 5, at Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza, 255 Highland Park Blvd., Wilkes-Barre Twp. Tickets start at $20 and are available at ticketmaster.com and the arena box office and by calling 800-745-3000. There is a $10 fee to park in the arena’s lot. Rose, aka Amanda Saccomanno outside the ring, entered WWE universe in 2015 through the reality TV show “Tough Enough.” She placed second and was signed to the company’s developmental property that same year. In 2017, Rose debuted on the main roster alongside Superstar Paige with fellow “Tough Enough” alum Sonya Deville. While Rose didn’t dream of being a pro wrestler since childhood like some, she decided to take a leap of faith into the industry. After earning a degree in speech-language pathology, Rose started to participate in fitness competitions, which “opened up so many opportunities” and helped her find herself. It wasn’t long after that she auditioned for “Tough Enough” and decided to pursue a new path. “It was something I was doing for myself,” she said. “Seeing the progress in myself and working hard to attain that goal was something I really loved.” Rose’s advice to young women looking to make it in the sports entertainment world or in any capacity reflects her own journey. “Always chase your dreams and don’t doubt them,”

she said. “Follow your heart. You never know where it might take you.” The chance she took years ago put her on biggest stage of her life. Her time on the main roster has included several firsts — for her and the other women of WWE. Rose participated in the first women’s Royal Rumble match last January and the first allwomen’s pay-per-view, “Evolution,” in October. “The crowd was just electric,” she said. “Being there in that moment was an unforgettable experience.” Last week, Rose and Deville competed in an Elimination Chamber match to claim the Women’s Tag Team Championships, where they made it to the final two. Days later, Rose defeated SmackDown Women’s Champion Asuka. While she’s on the road to the largest event of the year, “WrestleMania,” which takes place in April, Rose still stops to take it all in along the way. “We are having so much fun,” Rose said. “It’s amazing. It’s an exciting time.” Contact the writer: gmazur@timesshamrock.com; 570-348-9127; @gmazurtt on twitter

Empty Bottles BY DAVID FALCHEK Wine OK out of spotlight for French tradition of apéro A friend of mine recently hosted apéro, a light nosh and nod to a French custom of the same name where people gather for appetizers or small plates sometime between the conclusion of work and the night. We could call it happy hour with small plates. If you consider that the typical French person may not sit down to dinner until 8 or 9 p.m., a bite to eat (and of course some wine) is not a bad idea. You will see bars there busy around 5 or 6, not with diners but with munchers and sippers. Restaurants generally don’t open until much later. Often, apéro is accompanied by beer or a cocktail. The tradition has been questioned lately for, it is believed, encouraging drinking and

driving. However, most French are prudent in their wine consumption. In large- and midsized French cities, robust public transportation makes it easy to live and work without operating a vehicle at all. The group at our apéro brought cheese and meat plates, olives, salad, finger foods and the sort of widely available, affordable French wines that so often provide a background to unwind and talk. For a quick glass with charcuterie, Jadot 2017 Beaujolais Villages, fruit-forward with juicy plum character, is perfect. Beaujolais gets knocked for not having the structure of big reds, but every red wine doesn’t need to be like cabernet. $13. ★★★★

In France, cabernet franc is used as Bordeaux blender and occasionally as the star of some of the red wines of Loire, such as Saumur or Chinon. The lesser-known southern France region of Gard is promoting the lesser-known variety cabernet franc. The grape, which ripens irregularly, can develop vegetative, weedy character that turns off people. But with all the heat in the south to ripen the grapes, lack of ripeness is a non-issue and makes Domaine Mas Barrau 2017 Gard Cabernet Franc interesting. A smooth-textured wine with floral, earthy smells and rich black raspberry character comes at a great price. $9. ★★★★ Chateau Bonnet Bordeaux Blanc is a great introduction to the style. A blend of most-

ly sauvignon blanc and semillon, the wine is floral with green apple, a touch of citrus and refreshing acidity. $15. ★★★★ Wine doesn’t need to be expensive, and it doesn’t need to be center of attention when looking for a quick glass at apéro. GRADE: Exceptional ★★★★★ Above average ★★★★, Good ★★★, Below average ★★, Poor ★. DAVID FALCHEK, executive director of the American Wine Society, reviews wines each week.

Liquid BY JAMES CRANE Brut IPA new competition for ‘Champagne of beers’

n the early 1900s, beer came in a bucket, not the fancy bottles you are used to today. If you wanted beer, you either drank it in a saloon or carried it out in a bucket called a growler. Factory and construction workers would send a boy to the saloon to bring the growlers back to them, and then they drank all they could get. America sure was nifty in some ways. Then, in 1903, Miller High Life came onto the scene and took the moniker that it still holds today. The “Champagne of beers” came in a glass bottle. It was bright and bubbly, unlike the cloudier brews one would find at the local saloon. Better yet, it was easy to take with you and drink wherever you wanted. High Life, of course, doesn’t really taste too much like Champagne. There are a bunch of other brands that seem like they’d fit that moniker better, but the name makes sense when you think about its origin. At the

time, there wasn’t really anything else like it. Fast forward more than 100 years, and High Life has some serious contenders. Current trends take a common beer style and stand it on its head. IPAs have long had a reputation for being a race to the bitter top, but recently brewers have explored the style in ways other than figuring out the most aggressive hop profile. Now, in 2019, we have the Brut IPA. The Brut IPA is dry, just like its namesake, and has some Champagne-like qualities that don’t seem intuitive, but they work. An enzyme added to the brew allows it to ferment without a lot of sugar. The style hasn’t been around for a full year yet, so there is sure to be some growth, but already it has captured people’s attentions. This week, I’m drinking Ommegang’s Brut IPA. The pour had more than two-anda-half fingers worth of white, foamy head that never fully went away. The sound was

that of carbonation. The liquid, meanwhile, I’d grab a bottle and get in on the ground looked bright and pretty clear. In appearance, floor. Sadly, they don’t sell it in buckets. I could confuse it with brut Champagne. It certainly wasn’t like an IPA. It had a slightly yeasty scent with maybe a little bit of grapefruit and hops in there, but it all was very subtle, not putting off too much of a smell at all. In that sense, it was very clean. I don’t know that I would have easily pegged this beer as an IPA by taste if I hadn’t read the bottle. It is so dry, and a floral quality hides in there amid the copious carbonation. The hops came across a little bit like lemon, and a biscuity malt backbone held it all together and set it apart from an actual Champagne. I kept expecting to taste a slightly sweet grape flavor, but it just wasn’t there. Truly, if there was to be a “Champagne of beers” today, this would be it. This brew is worth trying if only for its novelty. That said, this style is going to stick around for a while.

SOUNDS / CALENDAR

Sounds BY MIKE EVANS These ladies have it all on new releases Robyn — ‘Honey’ THE GOOD: Swedish singer-songwriter and electronic chameleon Robyn comes back with her sixth album (the first in a LONG eight years). THE BAD: Nope. THE NITTY GRITTY: She was strictly pop in the ’90s and early 2000s. However, Robyn discovered just being herself was better sometime around 2004. Since then, the singer’s music has transcended genres and smashed all expectations. If “Body Talk” brought us all to the party, “Honey” is a more intimate look at its flamboyant host. The beats are softer (but not weak), and the basslines and keyboard melodies dreamier. Robyn went through some personal turmoil over the past several years (a close friend died, and a long-term relationship ended before eventual reconciliation), and she threw all that pain into the music. So while “Honey” can set any late-night dance floor ablaze, it has plenty of substance as well. Whether it’s the slow build and burn of “Missing U,” the liquid rhythms carrying the day-glo title cut or Deee-Liteful ’90s throwback “Between the Lines,” “Honey” was worth the wait. BUY IT?: Yes.

Elle King — ‘Shake the Spirit’ THE GOOD: Singer Elle King dodges the sophomore slump on “Shake the Spirit.” THE BAD: There are some lesser moments but no outright disasters. The record seems a little scattershot, but King’s voice and style shine in most settings. THE NITTY GRITTY: Since King broke big with “Ex’s & Oh’s” four years ago, she’s experienced more than a few emotional ups and downs (sudden fame, marriage, divorce, etc.). “Spirit” finds the singer tossing all those emotions into the work. There are breakup songs, moments of both genuine depression and pure elation, and times when the singer simply is getting drunk. King always has melded different sounds and genres together, and that’s certainly the case on “Spirit,” another indie, R&B, country and rock mish-mash. The brash “Baby Outlaw” echoes old spaghetti western soundtracks. “Runaway” glides on cool, pre-Beatles vibes. The super-infectious “It Girl” wallows in naughty high school drama. The gospeltinged “Little Bit of Lovin’” brings it all to an inspirational close. BUY IT?: Yes.

Lydmor — ‘I Told You I’d Tell Them Our Story’ THE GOOD: Danish electronic singer/songwriter/producer Lydmor (born Jenny Rossander) returns with an otherworldly epic. THE BAD: No gripes. THE NITTY GRITTY: Inspired by time spent in Shanghai with friends a couple of years back, “Our Story” finds the singer embracing club culture and experiences beyond her Copenhagen home. In press materials, Lydmor explained, “Considering I make electronic music, it’s quite a paradox that I have never been clubbing before I went to Shanghai.” Those nights spent dancing definitely affected the sound of “Our Story,” a much more direct and fierce collection than past efforts. However, the album isn’t just a night at a rave. It also works amazingly well as an electronic pop collection, echoing recent works by Chvrches, Purity Ring, Grimes and even some semi-vintage Imogen Heap. Sure, multi-layered rhythms carry the banging tracks, but at their core, songs such as “Money Towers” and “Nostalgia” are pop tunes, and damn fine ones, too. Lydmor’s merging of these two aesthetics simply clicks. BUY IT?: Definitely. Contact the writer: mevans@shamrocknepa.com

Free Will Astrology BY ROB BREZSNY ARIES (March 21-April 19): South Koreans work too hard. Many are on the job for 14 hours a day, six days a week. That’s why a new concept in vacations has emerged there. People take sabbaticals by checking into Prison Inside Me, a facility designed like a jail. For a while, they do without cell phones, internet and important appointments. Freed of nor mal stresses and stripped of obsessive concerns, they turn inward and recharge their spiritual batteries. I’d love to see you treat yourself to a getaway like this — minus the incarceration theme, of course. You’d benefit from a quiet, spacious, low-pressure escape.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): This astrology column is published in periodicals in four countries: the United States, Canada, Italy and France. In all of these places, women have had a hard time acquiring political power. Neither the United States nor Italy has ever had a female head of government. France has had one, Édith Cresson, who served less than a year as prime minister. Canada has had one, Kim Campbell, who was in office for 132 days. That’s the bad news. The good news is that the coming months will be a more favorable time than usual to boost feminine authority and enhance women’s ability to shape our shared reality. And you Tauruses of all genders will be in prime position to foster that outcome. Homework: Meditate on specific ways you could contribute, even if just through your personal interactions. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): A 19-year-old guy named Anson Lemmer started a job as a pizza delivery man in Glenwood, Colorado. On his second night, he arrived with a hot pizza at a house where an emergency was in progress. A man was lying on the ground in distress.

Advice Goddess BY AMY ALKON Man’s sexual overtures turn off friend What’s not to lick I’m friends with this guy. Only friends, and he knows it. But lately, we’ll be on the phone, talking about our businesses, and he’ll suddenly start talking dirty (saying sex things he wants to do with me). I just make a joke and get off the phone, but then he’ll do it again the next time. How do I get him to stop? — Uncomfortable You get a lot out of your friendship — but last you checked your Venmo, not $2.99 a minute. There you are, talking about your plans for the third quarter, and there are the guy’s sex thoughts — kind of like a goat ambling into your living room. As annoying as this must be, his being motivated to do it isn’t inexplicable. In surveying the scientific literature on sexual desire, Roy Baumeister and his colleagues found evidence for what many of us probably suspect or believe: Men, in general, have a far stronger sex drive than women. This is reflected in how, among other things, men “experience more frequent sexual arousal, have more frequent and varied fantasies, desire sex more often, desire more partners, masturbate more, want sex sooner, are less able or willing to live without sexual gratification” and are often interested in freakier stuff. (It isn’t women who show up at the emergency room all “TOTAL MYSTERY TO ME, DUDE!” about how that reading lamp or Butterscotch the hamster got up there.) You can most likely get him to stop — but not through hinting or hanging up when the conversation

goes “what I’d like to do to you with my tongue”-ward. Tell him straight out: “Hey, from now on, we need to keep the raunchy talk out of our phone conversations. Makes me seriously uncomfortable.” There’s a time and place for everything, and sex talk suddenly flying into your casual conversations is like placing your order at a drive-thru speaker — “Hi, I’d like the cheeseburger with fries” — and hearing heavy breathing and then a low male voice: “That’ll be $8.97 ... and a picture of your feet.”

No girls aloud I’m a female comic, so being smart and funny and having a strong personality is basically my job, as well as who I am. A friend had me stop by his business meeting at a cafe so he could introduce me to his client he was hoping to set me up with. I tend to show off when I’m nervous (going big, loud and funny), and I apparently terrified the guy. My friend scolded me, telling me it’s a turnoff for men to have to compete with a woman. Come on! I’d be thrilled to have a partner who is smarter and funnier. Shouldn’t men be like that, too? — Bummed As a powerful, confident woman, you can make a man feel like a real animal: a Chihuahua in a bee suit nervously peeking out of a little old lady’s purse. Social science research found that there’s a bit of a chasm between what men think they want in a female partner and what they actually end up being comfortable with. For example, when social psychologist Lora E. Park surveyed male research

participants, 86 percent said they’d feel comfortable dating female partners smarter than they are. They likewise said they’d go for a (hypothetical) woman who beat their scores in every category on an exam. However, when they were in a room with a woman who supposedly did, the men not only expressed less interest in her but moved their chairs away from her (as if they might catch something from her if they sat too close!). This seems pretty silly, until you look at some sex differences in the importance of social status. Sure, it’s better for a woman to be the head cheerleader (as that plays out in junior high and beyond), but a woman isn’t less of a woman if she isn’t the alpha pompom-ette. Manhood, on the other hand, is “precarious,” explained psychologists Jennifer Bosson and Joseph Vandello. It’s achieved through men’s actions but easily lost or yanked away — like by being shown up publicly by a chick. The answer isn’t to be someone else on a date (somebody dumber, with less personality). But maybe, seeing as some of the big-personality stuff comes out of fear, you could try something: Challenge yourself to be vulnerable. To listen. To connect with people instead of impress them. You also should seek out men who are big enough to not feel small around you — men who are accomplished, as well as psychologically accomplished. These are men who’ve fixed whatever was broken in them or was just less than ideal. When a guy says, “She took my breath away,” it should be a good thing, not a complaint about how he was nearly asphyxiated by your personality.
