Why do cosmetic companies make more shades of white than black?

March 11th, 2010

Regardless of what company makes the make-up, there’s AT LEAST 15 shades of white. There’s porcelin ivory, classic ivory, ivory, milk, vanilla, peach, beige, tan, olive, sierra, golden, bronze, toast and the list goes on. But when it comes to dark foundations, it’s just Caramel or Cocoa. What’s up with this? My skin color isn’t cocoa, it’s ebony and I have a HARD time finding my shade. Do the companies not realize that blacks come in other shades than caramel and cocoa? Why is this?

What's causing my window shades to be uneven at the bottom when raised or lowered?

March 8th, 2010

My Hunter Douglas window shades don’t raise or lower evenly. The cords used to lift and lower have become twisted. What is the cause and what is the fix?
They operate like mini-blinds (bunch up at the top when open). If I tie a knot as one answer suggested, what will keep the cord from becomming twisted again? Could my HD blinds be defective?
