Thank you doll, it was real fun.

So here it goes:

SKINCARE

times do you wash your face daily?
Twice - In the morning and evening.

What skin type do you have? (dry,oily,combo)

How about concealer?
I have a lot of concealers lol
And I enjoy using different ones each day.

Do you know your undertone color?
I have a cool undertone.

What do you think of fake eyelashes?
My lashes are really full and long
so I tend to use falsies on special occasions
for an extra oomph.

Did you know that you are supposed
to change your mascara every 3 months
?
Yes, I did. But I'm not really following that
rule. It depends- sometimes they're going bad real
fast and sometimes they can last forever.

Mascara (I looove it)

Sometimes I use MAC paint pots.

For the face?
MAC Prep & Prime

What is your favorite eyeshadow (color or shade)?
Are you kidding me?:)
I can't decide! lol

Do you use pencil or liquid eyeliner?
Both.

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

What do you think of pigment eyeshadows?
They might be messy but I like them.

Do you use mineral makeup?
I love bareMinerals foundation, one of the best
I've tried but £22 for a student's budget is too much lol


What is your favorite lipstick?
I know it's unpopular but
I'm an eyeshadow girl.
Lipstick playsa secondary role.
I'm big on lip conditioners though.

How about lipgloss?
MAC Dazzleglass in Baby Sparkles

What is your favorite blush to use?
Benefit Coralista

Do you buy your makeup on ebay?
No.

Do you like drugstore makeup?
Yes. I love finding great drugstore stuff.
I enjoy the hunt lol

Do you go to CCO's? (cosmetic company outlets)
No
Did you ever consider taking make-up classes?
Yes but I'm always out of time.

Are you clumsy in putting on m
akeup?
No, I don't think so.

Name a makeup crime that you hate?
Foundation looking like a mask
ending on the jaw line.

Do you like colourful shades of makeup
(lipstick,eyeshadow) or neutral ones?
I am a huge fan of both.
It depends on my mood.

Which celebrity always has great make up?
Jennifer Aniston

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

Could you ever leave the house
without any makeup on?
Yeah. I'm not going to bother if I'm going
to throw away the rubbish:)

Do you think you look good even without any makeup on?

Yep. Not too bad:)

In your opinion, what is the BEST makeup line?
I can't pick just one. There's some great and bad
stuff in every line.

What do you think of Make up?
It's a way of expressing myself.
It's also relaxing and creative.

Couldn't live without it:)




If anyone wishes to do this tag, go ahead.
It's real fun:)

I didn't want
to tag anyone as most of you
ladies already have done that:)
