40 Beauty Questions

Just thought I would do this for fun this morning! I'm freezing right now... brr

SKINCARE -
How many times do you wash your face daily?
Usually just at night time to remove my makeup. I've found that when i wash twice a day, especially with a cleanser that contains salicylic acid, my face gets sooo dry. So I just rinse my natural oils off with plain water during my shower in the morning.

What skin type do you have? (dry,oily,combo)
Combination... kinda oily t-zone, therefore I get breakouts, but also very dry cheeks.

What is your current facial wash?
Avon Solutions Maximum Moisture AM/PM

Do you exfoliate?
Yes, about twice a week or whenever I feel I need to.

What brand do you use?
CVS brand apricot scrub

What moisturizer do you use?
Avon Solutions Maximum Moisture at night, Neutrogena Rapid Clear Acne Defense on breakout areas, and Aveeno Positively Radiant spf 15 for daytime

Do you have freckles?
Yes! But honestly I hardly notice them on my face, they really don't bother me,

Do you use eye cream?
I don't use actual eye cream, although I probably should start. I just use my thickest moisturizer under my eyes after I wash my face and before I go to bed.

Do you or did you have acne prone skin?
Yes! It's not terrible but I usually have a couple of blemishes somewhere on my face, no matter what I do.

Did you ever have to use Pro-activ?
Yes, but it was very irritating. Even the oily parts of my face turned red and started flaking! It was way too strong for my skin. I probably shouldn't have used it, as I just had a few pimples, not full-out acne.


MAKE-UP
What foundation do you use?
Right now I switch between Neutrogena Healthy Skin in Buff, Revlon Colorstay in Nude, and Bare Escentuals in Fairly Light. I would love to try Make Up ForEver HD, but it's reallly expensive for foundation. I'd also like to try some MAC foundations.

How about concealer?
MAC Select Cover-Up in NW20

Do you know your undertone color?
I feel like my skin tone is more warm, since I have trouble with a lot of foundations looking too yellow on me, but I really have no clue!

What do you think of fake eyelashes?
I really like them, they just make your eyes pop so beautifully. They are a little tricky to apply, though-- I hope I can get it right so that I might be able to wear them for the wedding.

Did you know that you are supposed to change your mascara every 3 months?
I don't think you really have to, as long as your mascara is still working for you. I would say you shouldn't keep using it after 6 months though. I usually have two mascaras open at a time, though, so I feel like I shouldn't throw them out at 3 months.

What brand of mascara do you use?
I don't know if I'm in love with them, but currently I'm using Rimmel Lash Maxxx and Avon Wash-off Waterproof. I also sometimes layer the Avon over the Rimmel if I want darker lashes. The next mascara I want to try is L'Oreal Voluminous.

Sephora or MAC?
I don't really think you can choose between the two. Sephora has so many different brands and products, and MAC is only one brand, but they have a lot of cool products, too. Apples and Oranges.

Do you have a MAC Pro-card?
No

What makeup tools do you use in make up application?
Brushes, q-tips, and kleenex

Do you use make-up base/primer for the eyes?
Right now I am using NYX eyeshadow base, and honestly I can't tell if there is a difference! I wanted to try Urban Decay Primer Potion but I decided to try something less expensive before shelling out the $18 or so.

For the face?
I've tried Smashbox Photo Finish and Laura Geller Spackle... but I don't see much of a difference in the smoothness or lasting power of my makeup with either of them on.

What is your favorite eyeshadow (color or shade)?
I really love the Bare Escentuals shadows... I used up an entire pot of City Lights, and another current favorite is Cocoa Diamond, it's a really pretty brown with barely any shimmer. If you know BE shadows, you know they are *super* shimmery sometimes lol

Do you use pencil or liquid eyeliner?
I use pencil mostly, I'm still practicing with the liquid liner on my lid... I'm getting better, though!

How often do you poke your eyes with an eyeliner pencil?
Not too often...

What do you think of pigment eyeshadows?
Ok, like I said most of my eyeshadow collection is BE, so they are allll loose and in "pigment" form. They are really messy unless you are careful with them. I've gotten used to it for the most part, though... but sometimes I do end up with a colorful sink from tapping all the excess shadow from my brushes.

Do you use mineral makeup?
Yes.

What is your favorite lipstick?
I really don't wear any! I would like to, but I feel that glosses are holding me over quite well for now.

How about lipgloss?
I love the Victoria's Secret Beauty Rush glosses. They are pretty sticky but they all smell really good. I also like the BE glosses... they're not sticky at all and they have some really pretty shades.

What is your favorite blush to use?
I wouldn't say it's my all-time favorite, but for some reason it stays in my daily makeup container: BE Frisky

Do you buy your makeup on ebay?
No.

Do you like drugstore makeup?
Yes! Some products are actually great quality, sometimes even better than more expensive stuff. Especially mascara.

Do you go to CCO's? (cosmetic company outlets)
I've been to at least one or two, but I haven't purchased anything there.

Did you ever consider taking make-up classes?
It would be really fun, I just haven't had the opportunity.

Are you clumsy in putting on makeup?
I can be... but luckily I only dropped a BE shadow once. COMPLETE MESS!

Name a makeup crime that you hate?
Overplucked eyebrows! eww. And bright blue eyeshadow.

Do you like colorful shades of makeup (lipstick,eyeshadow) or neutral ones?
Neutral for day, although a small pop of color can be a nice change. But full on bright colors are best saved for the nightclub or... Halloween I guess lol.

Which celebrity always has great make up?
Hmm... I'm not sure? I don't actively check out celebrity makeup.

If you could leave the house using just ONE make up item, what would you use?
At least some tinted moisturizer or concealer for blemishes.

Could you ever leave the house without any makeup on?
I could... not that I would enjoy it.

Do you think you look good even without any makeup on?
I think I look ok without, but I feel best when I put a little effort into how I look.

In your opinion, what is the BEST makeup line?
I don't think there is one!

What do you think of Makeup??
I like it! It's fun to experiment with it and it can really be uplifting at times. :-)
