Tag: 40 Beauty Questions

So out of pure boredom and lack of blog posts I went on a hunt to find a new tag to do. I stumbled across this quite lengthy tag from the wonderful Elle Fowler. Although she posted this a few years back I thought I would give it a go myself today, so here goes :)

SKINCARE -

How many times do you wash your face daily?

Twice once in the morning and again at night to take all my make up off.

Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish.

Do you exfoliate?

Not at the moment no.

What brand do you use?

I'm looking into buying the Liz Earle Gentle Face Exfoliator.

What moisturiser do you use?

At the minute I'm using Simple Spotless Skin Anti-Blemish moisturiser, to get my skin back to normal after break outs from testing a lot of foundations and primers recently. Once I'm satisfied I'm going to try and get 2 decent moisturisers, one for morning and one for night time.

Do you have freckles?

Yes. I used to have a lot more when I was younger though.

Do you use eye cream?

No. I know how important they are though, so I'm looking for a good one (suggestions welcome!).

Do you or did you have acne prone skin?

I get quite a few spots now and again, and as a teenager I broke out a lot, but I wouldn't class it as acne.

No.

MAKE-UP

Currently Revlon Photoready, I change foundation A LOT trying to find the perfect one.

Yes all make up has a shelf life. 

What brand of mascara do you use?

Do you have a MAC Pro-card?

Unfortunately not!

What makeup tools do you use in make up application?

Brushes.

Do you use make-up base/primer for the eyes?

I used my friends Urban Decay Primer Potion once and I loved it. Think I’ll have to buy one for myself.

For the face?

I tried out the MUA one after reading so many good reviews on it but it broke me out! And I used the new Nivea Express Hydration Primer a few days back and that seemed ok, (going to try it out a bit more, before I say anything else about it) Other than that I haven't used any others.

What is your favorite eyeshadow (color or shade)?

I literally have no idea.

Do you use pencil or liquid eyeliner?

I use a pencil everyday on the waterline. And when I put eyeliner on my lid I use a Gel liner, very rarely use liquid anymore.

How often do you poke your eyes with an eyeliner pencil?

Very rarely.

What do you think of pigment eyeshadows?

Amazing colours, but very messy application. I use pressed shadows all the time.

Do you use mineral makeup?

I've never used a mineral make up.

What is your favorite lipstick?

Right now I'm loving the Rimmel Lasting Finish Matte Lipstick by Kate Moss in shade 107

How about lipgloss?

I don’t tend to wear lipgloss very much.

What is your favorite blush to use?

I don’t actually have a favourite blush.

Do you buy your makeup on ebay?

I bought a 72 eyeshadow palette a few years backs but other than that Ive never bought any makeup off ebay.

Yes I use a lot of drugstore makeup, because I don't have a lot of money. I do love and have quite a lot of high end makeup though and I try and buy it whenever I can.

Name a makeup crime that you hate?

Orange Face, White Neck, need I say more?!

Do you like colorful shades of makeup (lipstick,eyeshadow) or neutral ones?

I love colours put usually stick to neutral eyeshadow or a dark smoky eye. And with lipstick it depends on what shade I fancy wearing and weather it will go with my clothes.

Which celebrity always has great make up?

I love Kim Kardashians make up, shes beautiful

If you could leave the house using just ONE make up item, what would you use?

I literally have no idea!
