 My Makeup Story Tag

1. How old were you when you started wearing makeup?
I started wearing foundation/concealer when I started middle school because I had really bad acne and I wanted to cover it up.  ):  I didn't start wearing eyeliner and other things until I started high school.

 2. How did you get into makeup?
Once I started wearing eye makeup is when I really got into makeup.  I just loved playing in the colors and lining my eyes dramatically!

 

 3. What are some of your favorite brands?
I love Stila, Urban Decay, The Balm and MAC for higher-end brands.  

NYX and Wet n' Wild (color icon!!) for drugstore brands.

4. What does makeup mean to you?
I see makeup as an outlet for creativity.  There are so many different products, colors, etc.  The possibilities are endless!

5. If you could only wear 4 products on your face what would they be?
Unless I'm feeling fancy, I usually only wear 4 products a day!

My foundation (mixed with Fix+ Rose), eyeliner, and mascara.

 
6. What is your favorite thing about makeup?
My favorite thing about makeup would be again, the creativity.  I just love playing around with new looks! 

 

 7. What do you think about drugstore makeup vs high end makeup?
There's definitely good and bad to both.  Just because something is from a drugstore brand doesn't mean it's going to suck, and vice versa - just because something is higher end doesn't mean it's going to be amazing.

8. What is one tip of advice you can give a beginner? 

Definitely start out with a little bit and work your way up to wearing more.  Practice makes perfect! (;

 
9. What is one makeup trend you never understood?
I'm not sure if this counts as a 'makeup' trend, but I really, really do not understand those 'caviar manicures'.  I've only seen one or two that I'd ever even consider wearing...

10. What do you think about the beauty community on youtube?
I love it.  Watching makeup gurus on YouTube is more-or-less what inspired me to make my blog.  Maybe one day I'll have the courage to make videos too!!
 

 

I love tags!  They're so much fun to do!  (:
