SKINCARE
1. How many times do you wash your face?
- I wash my face twice, once in the morning and once in the night. But I may wash my face a few times throughout the day with just water and a light face wash if I feel like I need a "freshen up".
2. What skin type are you?
- I have dry to combination skin. My skin can get pretty dry if I don't cleanse and moisturise. But it can even get oily and sensitive around parts of my cheeks and chin.
3. What is your current facial wash?
- I did have a long skin care routine but i've cut it down because i've broken out a bit and I decided it'd be best if I used less products, so now I just either use Glossier Milky Jelly Cleanser or Simple Skin Refreshing Facial Wash Gel.
4. Do you exfoliate?
- Yes I try to do it 2-3 x a week. It can be irritating for my skin so I try not to go overboard.
5. What brand is it?
- I'm currently using Origins - Never A Dull Moment. It's not a proper exfoliant but a gentle version of one. If I feel like i need something a bit more harsh, i reach for Nip and Fab Glycolic Fix.
6. What moisturiser do you use?
- At the moment I'm using Embroylisse Lait-Creme or Glossier Priming Moisturiser. But when my skin is feeling really try, I would use oils such as Kiehl's Midnight Recovery or Rosehip Oil.
7. Do you have freckles?
- Nope. I wish.
8. Do you use an eye cream?
- Yes religiously. I use Kielh's avocado eye cream for the morning then the midnight recovery eye cream for the evening.
9. Do you or did you have acne prone skin?
- I never really use to think that I could ever get acne, I use to use whatever I fancied on my skin, but quite recently i've broken out with a few blemishes that kind of look like acne, which makes me think that I may have blemish/acne prone skin.
10. Did you ever have to use pro-active
- Nope
11. What foundation do you use?
- I tend to use lightweight sheer foundations. But for everyday I like using NARS Tinted Moisturiser (that sort of stuff ) then concealer for areas that need it.
12. Do you know your undertone?
- Yes i'm definitely more warm tone. I'd say i'm medium dark\yellow
13. What about concealer?
- Concealer over foundation any day!
If i'm going for a no makeup kind of look, concealer really helps with getting rid of tiredness and blemishes that tinted moisturisers and bb creams can't do.
14. What do you think of fake eyelashes?
- I think they're great in terms of making your eyes look bigger and more defined. But when it comes to putting them on i'm useless at it, I hardly ever wear fake eyelashes, pain is beauty, but I don't like the feel of them, they are definitely one thing I don't mind living without. They can also pull your eyelashes out and mine is already thin so i'd like to hold onto the ones I already have.
15. Do you know you are suppose to change your mascara every 3 months.
- Yes, but i'm guilty with not doing that. I do try to change my mascara frequently but unfortunately it's not that frequent.
16. What brand of mascara do you use?
- Drugstore - Loreal Telescopic
High end - NARS Audacious
17. Sephora or MAC?
- I haven't tried any Sephora makeup so I can't really say, so i'll have to go with MAC.
18. What makeup tools do you use for makeup application?
- Undoubtedly Real Techniques Makeup Brushes have become a must for me. But I quite recently got my hands on some brushes from Spectrum Collection, which I have been loving and do a great job at makeup application.
I like using my fingers a lot as well, if you consider them as a tool. But they really can be the best thing for when applying makeup.
19. Do you use makeup base/primer for your eyes?
- Hmm i've tried a sample of the Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer but I haven't really gone back to purchase one. I never really think about priming my eyelids with an actual primer I just usually use a natural coloured cream eyeshadow.
20. For the face?
- I have the Benefit Poreless Face Primer and Vitamin Skin Reviver by The Body Shop that works really well for a face primer. But I don't really prime my face everyday not unless I'm going to be wearing foundation then I do.
21. What is your favourite eyeshadow (colour or shade)?
- I don't really have a specific branded eyeshadow colour that is my absolute fave. But I tend to go for natural colours, like browns, pinks and whites for highlight. I really like Urban Decay's Naked Palettes. But if I had to choose I would say my fave is the Basics one as I like that it's all matte and perfect for everyday.
22. Do you use Pencil or Liquid eyeliner?
- Pencil is something that I hardly use, unless i'm going for a more dramatic look, which is almost rare. Liquid and gel are the ones I tend to use. And it's 50/50 with the two, as I use them both equally the same amount.
23. How often do you poke your eyes with eyeliner pencil?
- Not often as I don't really use it, but when I do i'd say it'd only happen if i'm rushing.
24. What do you think of pigment eyeshadow?
- They can be a lot of fun as they allow you to pack on a great amount of glitter to the eyes and the colour is so much more pigmented as well, of course. It can be messy, but a little can go a long way with it.
25. Do you use mineral makeup?
- Yes, I do enjoy using Bare Minerals.
26. What is your favourite lipstick?
- They change from time to time. But at the moment i'm using Taupe - Mac a lot.
27. How about lipgloss?
- I use to be obsessed with lipgloss when I was little. At one point I was all about matte lips, although I do occasionally go for some shine, as matte lipsticks can become drying for the lips.
28. What is your favourite blush to use?
- My go to favourite at the mo has got to be Milani - Berry A'more.
29. Do you buy makeup on Ebay?
- Nope, but I have been wanting to try out Jessup Makeup Brushes. I know its not actual makeup but its makeup related and its something I wanted to get get from Ebay for a while.
30. Do you like drugstore makeup?
- Yes, of course, I don't know anyone who wouldn't like at least one drugstore makeup product?
31. Do you go to CCO's (Cosmetic Company Outlets)?
- Yes I do, I recently went to one where they sold high end products such as MAC and Estee Lauder for a cheap price.
32. Did you ever consider taking makeup classes?
- Yes I have, I would love to, but I haven't come across any classes that I would like to attend where I live. But there is always youtube!
33. Name a makeup crime?
- Not taking your makeup off properly or completely and sleeping with your makeup on. It's not healthy for the skin at all, I refuse to go to bed with makeup still on!
34. Do you like colourful shades of makeup or neutrals?
- Definitely neutral for most times and parts, but I do like wearing colourful lipsticks from time to time, such as reds and purples.
35. Which celebrity always has great makeup?
- It's fair to say Kim Kardashian even though i'm not a massive fan of her, her makeup is always flawless and so is Kylie Jenner's. I think they've played a huge part to how girls put their makeup on now.
36. Could you ever leave the house without any makeup on?
- I was able to before but now I feel like I need to.
37. If you could leave the house just wearing ONE sort of makeup, what would it be?
- Hmmm it use to be lipstick, but now I think I need concealer more! ^insert emoji crying face!
38. Do you think you look good without any makeup on?
- Hmm not completely but I did use to think I looked okay before, as my skin was a lot better and I could get away with wearing little as possible. But because of recent breakouts it's kinda left me feeling like I need to put makeup on, without it I kinda feel like a mess, which sucks! It's nice to wear makeup because you feel like it not because you have to.
39. Are clumsy with makeup?
- Yes, esp with my eyes.
40. What do you think of makeup?
- I'm not amazing at applying makeup but I do love it. I love hearing the history of makeup and how its changed over the years, I love learning new ways to apply it, I love collecting it and finding out what suits me and what doesn't. Cheesy as this may sound, makeup is fun!
