40 Beauty Questions

This tag was going around on YouTube a while back, but since I don’t have a Youtube Channel anymore, I decided to do the tag on my blog instead. I also decided to number off the questions, because for some reason no one on YouTube did. I wanted to see if there really were 40 questions. Turns out, there’s 42! Either somebody can’t count, or somewhere along the line they decided to throw in a few extra questions for the heck of it.

Anyways, here we go!

SKIN CARE

 1.How many times do you wash your face daily?
Usually twice, but if I feel like taking my makeup off in the afternoon then three times.

2.What skin type do you have? (dry,oily,combo)
Combination. I’m a level 2 in Clinique (dry in cheeks, oily to comfortable in T-zone)

3.What is your current facial wash?
Clinique Liquid Facial Soap (Mild)

4. Do you exfoliate?
Yes, usually every 3 or 4 days.

5.What brand do you use?
Biore Even Smoother Microderm Exfoliator

6.What moisturizer do you use?
Right now it's a mixture of Clinique Even Better Moisturizing Gel and the Body Shop’s Vitamin E moisturizer

7.Do you have freckles?
No, but I wish I did!

8. Do you use eye cream?
Yep! My favorite is Neutrogena Radiance Boost Eye Cream

9.Do you or did you have acne prone skin?
I guess my skin is acne-prone. I do get the occasional blemish, but it's not severe or anything.

10. Did you ever have to use Pro-activ?
 I used Pro-activ for a year in high school. It worked pretty well, but it was extremely harsh. It was expensive too, and it bleached all of my face clothes and towels!

MAKE-UP

11.What foundation do you use?
 Bare Minerals Matte Foundation or Clinique Even Better Liquid Foundation

12. How about concealer?
MAC – usually Studio Finish, but sometimes Studio Sculpt

13. Do you know your undertone color?
 I’m more of a neutral, but if I have to choose between cool or warm, I go with warm.

14. What do you think of fake eyelashes?
They’re super glam! Unfortunately, they don’t look that great with my small eyes and blonde lashes.

15. Did you know that you are supposed to change your mascara every 3 months?
 I think 4-6 months is more realistic, and since it’s still sanitary, that’s what I go by.

16.What brand of mascara do you use?
 Right now I’m loving Rimmel The Max Volume Flash (the one in the pink tube!) I also really like Maybelline Define-A-Lash Volume mascara

17. Sephora or MAC?
 I don’t shop at either on a regular basis, but I do have more products from MAC

18. Do you have a MAC Pro-card?
No, because I probably wouldn’t use it enough to truly benefit from it

19. What makeup tools do you use in make up application?
 Brushes, cotton pads, Q-tips, fingers!

20. Do you use a make-up base/primer for the eyes?
 Yep, I use Urban Decay Primer Potion. Sometimes I follow it up with MAC Painterly Paint Pot.

21. For the face?
 I haven’t always liked using face primers, but I recently found a combination that works well for me. I mixed together Revlon Beyond Natural Smoothing Primer and Dermaglow Radiance Anti-Aging Primer in an empty MAC concealer tub (yay Project Ten Pan) and I’m loving it!

22. What is your favorite eyeshadow (color or shade)?
I like light pinks, browns, and golds. They compliment my blue eyes :)

23. Do you use pencil or liquid eyeliner?
I normally use a chocolate brown pencil, but if I’m going out for the night (or I look especially blah one morning) I’ll add winged liquid liner.

24. How often do you poke your eyes with an eyeliner pencil?
Never with eyeliner pencils, but I’ve poked my eyes with mascara wands quite a few times!

25. What do you think of pigment eyeshadows?
 I think they’re fun once you master the application. My favorites are MAC Vanilla and Melon.

26. Do you use mineral makeup?
Yes! I like Bare Minerals Matte Foundation. I’ve never tried mineral eyeshadows though.

27. What is your favorite lipstick?
 Rimmel Lasting Finish Intense Wear Lipstick in Crush and Revlon Matte Lipstick in Nude Attitude.

28. How about lipgloss?
 I love Rimmel Vinyl Bross Mirror Shine Lipgloss in Sunset

29. What is your favorite blush to use?
 I’ll have to go with Nars Orgasm, only because I wear it more than any other. I also really like MAC’s cream blush in Lillicent.

30. Do you buy your makeup on ebay?
 No, I never have.

31. Do you like drugstore makeup?
 Love it! My collection is at least a 50/50 split between drugstore and high-end.

32. Do you go to CCO's? (cosmetic company outlets)
I would love to go to one, but I don’t think there are any close to where I live :(

33. Did you ever consider taking make-up classes?
I applied to a makeup and beauty school at the end of twelfth grade, but I didn’t end up pursuing it and wound up at university instead.

34. Are you clumsy in putting on makeup?
 Definitely clumsy in the mornings! I probably drop half of the products I’m using on the floor at least once!

35. Name a makeup crime that you hate?
I don’t like caked-on orange bronzer. Not flattering!!

36. Do you like colorful shades of makeup (lipstick,eyeshadow) or neutral ones?
 With lipsticks, neutral colors. On my eyes, I switch it up, but wear neutrals more regularly.

37. Which celebrity always has great make up?
 i like Hayden Panettiere’s makeup: usually a bronze smoky eye and tan, dewey skin.

38. If you could leave the house using just ONE make up item,what would you use?
I cannot LIVE without chapstick! (cherry, to be exact)

39. Could you ever leave the house without any makeup on?
 I could (like if I was going to the beach), but I’d rather not. A tad of mascara and lipgloss at the very least.

40. Do you think you look good even without any makeup on?
 I'd say so :)

41. In your opinion, what is the BEST makeup line?
 The first thing that comes to mind is MAC. It’s the most inexpensive high-end brand, and their selection of eyeshadows, blushes, and lipsticks is fantastic! I also hear a lot of good things about Nars, but haven’t had the opportunity to try many of their products yet.

42. What do you think of Makeup?? It’s brilliant! I think that a little bit of makeup (applied correctly) can do wonders for anyone!

xoxo
stay sunny!
