Hello Friends!
So guess what? After posting “Battle of the Falsies” I’ve been nominated by a fellow blogger for the beauty blogger of the month award! If chosen, I get a free beauty giveaway and obviously bragging rights!!
So, in honor of my nomination, here are a few beauty questions I was asked to answer as a nominee:
1. Where does your makeup inspiration come from?
My makeup inspiration literally comes from everywhere. After receiving my makeup artistry diploma with honors two years ago, I still felt as though I had a lot to learn. I got inspiration from YouTube videos, makeupbee.com, and literally regular people walking around. Before makeup school, I was afraid of using colors and looking like a clown! Now, I rarely ever stick to neutral shades. In a nutshell, my makeup inspiration comes from other women!!
2. What are 3 of your makeup Holy Grail products you cannot live without?
Love this question! Here is #1:
MAC’s Engraved Eyeliner
I always wear eyeliner inside my waterline no matter what! This eyeliner is the best out there. It is waterproof, lasts the entire day with one application, and will not smudge and give you racoon eyes by the end of the night!!
Shu Uemura’s Eyelash Curler
I cannot live without this lash curler! Having lashes on the shorter side, this curler is my savior! It curls and lengthens my lashes in an instant and makes them stay long and curled the whole day!
Lise Waiters’ Corrector Wheel
I love this corrector wheel! It acts as an instant eye concealer and brightener, and gets rid of my redness with the green corrector. The lilac color brightens darker areas of the skin and also has correctors that hide veins on the face and dark circles instantly. Must have!
3. What is your makeup signature look which you have on most of the time?
I would say the signature look that I love to wear when going out is a smokey eye with falsies and a neutral lip! I love this look and love having fun with different versions of a smokey eye.
4. Let us know your favorite makeup brands?
My favorite makeup brands are makeup forever for their amazing foundations and primers. Mac for their amazing and highly pigmented eyeshadows. Urban Decay for their affordable brushes and amazing eyeshadow palettes. Last but not least, Chanel…because…well its Chanel!!
5. Your ultimate makeup pet peeve?
My ultimate makeup pet peeve is red sparkly lipstick on brides! I know every bride has their own taste but for me a wedding should have a natural lip or a simple color if the eyes are also natural.
6. You’ve heard about all the hype on this makeup item, bought it, tried it and don’t understand what all the fuss is about…Name that product!
I’d have to say the haughte & naughty lash mascara in blackest black by Mac. I feel like you really need to be careful when applying it because it can clump very easily. I love that it makes your lashes pierce through but it can get very messy very fast!
7. Concealer OR foundation ONLY for the rest of your life. Choose one and tell us the reason!
I definitely have to go with foundation just because it evens out your entire skin tone and allows for a full coverage. Makeup forever’s HD foundation is great at doing both. It hides my redness and occasional pimple with one application!
