Introduction PT.2 - Question Time!


Hello all! 
I found this makeup & beauty survey within the depths of the internet & I thought it would give y'all a good idea of my style of makeup and fashion. So here we go...

SKINCARE
-How many times do you wash your face daily?
Once a day.
-What skin type do you have? (dry,oily,combo)
Very dry skin
-What is your current facial wash?
Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser in combination with a Clarisonic
-Do you exfoliate?
The Clarisonic kind of does that job.
-What moisturizer do you use?
A generic version of the Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream
-Do you have freckles?
Yep!
-Do you use eye cream?
Yes.
-Do you or did you have acne prone skin?
I deal with mainly hormonal & cystic acne on my chin. I get a few blemishes about once a month and they are a pain in the ass to deal with.
-Did you ever have to use Pro-activ?
Nope.
MAKE-UP
-What foundation do you use?
Right now I go between Mac Face & Body in C2 and the Revlon Colorstay Whipped Foundation

-How about concealer?
I use a bunch. Benefit Erase Paste, a Yaby concealer, Benefit Boiing, and the Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Dark Circle Eraser.
-Do you know your undertone color?
Cool

-What do you think of fake eyelashes?
-Do you use mineral makeup?


I just cannot get the hang of them. And with the mascara I use, they don't make a HUGE difference anyway.
-Did you know that you are suppose to change your mascara every 3 months?
Yeah, but for a college gal on a budget, it isn't really practical. 
-What brand of mascara do you use?
L'Oreal False Fiber Lash Mascara in Carbon Black in combo with the Tarte Gifted mascara or Urban Decay Supercurl.
Sephora or MAC?
Sephora
-Do you have a MAC Pro-card?
No.
-What makeup tools do you use in make up application?
Sigma F82 Round-Top Kabuki, Powder Brush, Blush Brush, Various eye brushes...
-Do you use make-up base/primer for the eyes?
Yep! It depends on what I have on hand. I don't really have a favorite
-For the face?
I really like Benefit Porefessional but I'm out of the sample & it is pricy.
-What is your favorite eyeshadow (color or shade)?
I can't answer this. I love a good champagne color for simple days but I have a pretty large collection of bright colors too.
-Do you use pencil or liquid eyeliner?
Liquid. I can't LIVE without my winged eyeliner. The only liquid that has worked for me so far is the Urban Decay 24/7 Liquid Liner in Perversion. I'm pretty sure I have oily eyelids, but super dry skin, confusing, I know.
-How often do you poke your eyes with an eyeliner pencil?
Rarely.
-What do you think of pigment eyeshadows?
They are alright. I don't find myself reaching for them as much as my eyeshadow palettes, but they are good for a special look.

No, but I'm curious about Bare Minerals.
-What is your favorite lipstick?
This is TOUGH. I really like MAC Rebel & Maybelline Vivid Lipstick in Vivid Rose.
-How about lipgloss?
I don't really use glosses.
-What is your favorite blush to use?
MAC Warm Soul is beautiful.
-Do you buy your makeup on ebay?
Nope
-Do you like drugstore makeup?
LOVE drugstore makeup.
-Do you go to CCO’s? (cosmetic company outlets)
I've been before but the closest one is an hour plus drive. 
-Did you ever consider taking make-up classes?
Yeah
-Are you clumsy in putting on makeup?
Only with mascara.
-Name a makeup crime that you hate?
Super washed out nude lips. yuck
-Do you like colorful shades of makeup (lipstick,eyeshadow) or neutral ones?
I love colorful shades, they are so much fun to work with.
-Which celebrity always has great make up?
I don't know...I think Dianna Agron has a beautiful natural style of makeup. 
-If you could leave the house using just ONE make up item,what would you use?
Mascara. duh
-Could you ever leave the house without any makeup on?
Yeah. I do that more often than not
-Do you think you look good even without any makeup on?
Eh. Sometimes
-In your opinion, what is the BEST makeup line?
Urban Decay is really stepping it up with their face products, they used to be all about eyeshadows but I think they are a force to be reckoned with.
-What do you think of Makeup?
Makeup is a super fun way to express your personal style and to add confidence. I don't care if you cake your face with makeup or don't wear any at all, it is such a personal thing.
That's all for this little post! I'm pretty sure the next one is going to be a review of a super fun collection from Sigma Beauty. So stay tuned!

Of course, if YOU want to see something specific on this blog, please comment on a post & I will try to see that it gets done. A blog is nothing without interaction and suggestions from the reader.
