40 Beauty Questions
QUESTIONS:
SKINCARE
-How many times do you wash your face daily?
I wash my face once in the morning with my clairsonic mia and then I double cleanse at night time.
-What skin type do you have? (dry,oily,combo)
I'm a normal/oily/combination skin type. I mainly get oily around my T-zone but the rest of my face is normal.
-What is your current facial wash?
Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel. The one, the only, the greatest. I have used this for years and after trying a multitude of other brands, I always come back to this.
-Do you exfoliate?
Yes but not at much as I should. I usually exfoliate once a week using Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant or the Dermalogica Skin Prep Scrub.
-What brand do you use?
Dermalogica
-What moisturizer do you use?
I mainly use Dermalogica Active Moist during the day because its light and I don't get oily from it and Dermalogica Skin Smoothing Cream at night because you should always use a slightly heavier face cream at night because your face needs moisture most then. I use these two products over my Dermalogica Multi Active Toner and my Olay Total Effects Serum.
-Do you have freckles?
No.
-Do you use eye cream?
Not usually but I've been trying out the Clinique Even Better Eyes Dark Circle Corrector. It does work but I don't think it's fantastic. I've been using this day and night for over a month now.
-Do you or did you have acne prone skin?
Everyone gets breakouts. Especially when you're pregnant like me. All of those hormones. Don't get me wrong, I have had the "pregnancy glow" but I still get breakouts like normal people. We all have our good and bad skin days.
-Did you ever have to use Pro-activ?
Nope and never will. I've heard so many bad things about the products, I'm staying away from it.
MAKE-UP
-What foundation do you use?
Hahaha. Funny question. Well I have a range of foundations to choose from depending on the coverage I'm after. At the moment, I'm using Mac Prolongwear foundation in the shade NC40. Its a medium coverage foundation and its great for my skin type. If I want a light coverage, I use my Bourjois 10 Hour Sleep Effect foundation in shade 75. I think this has been discontinued but I think its amazing.
-How about concealer?
Yes, I use concealer and Yes, I have a range of them as well depending on coverage. I have expensive ones from Mac (Moisture Cover, Prolongwear and Mineralize) and I have cheaper ones from Collections (from ebay), Revlon, Bourjois and even my Garnier roll on Anti dark circles (which is the best for when I don't want to wear foundation but just to cover up my dark circles).
-Do you know your undertone color?
I have yellow undertones like most Asian women.
-What do you think of fake eyelashes?
I think they're pretty cool but not on an everyday basis. I think they're great for glaming up a makeup look when you're going out somewhere but not for everyday use. Who has time to put on fake eyelashes every morning? Not I!
-Did you know that you are suppose to change your mascara every 3 months?
Yes and I do it without fail. I have had bad eye infections in the past because of using old mascara so I always change my mascara (and my toothbrush) every 3 months.
-What brand of mascara do you use?
Maybelline The Falsies Black Drama in Waterproof. Mascara's are the hardest and most personal makeup product to find. I was using Loreal Lash Architect in Carbon Black but they changed the formula and now its crap.
-Sephora or MAC?
We don't have Sephora in Australia so its MAC all the way. I love MAC. My eyeshadow collection can vouch for that.
-Do you have a MAC Pro-card?
No because you have to be a qualified Makeup Artist. I'd love one though.
-What makeup tools do you use in make up application?
Various brushes. Ranging from Real Techniques ones, to MAC ones, to Sigma Brushes. Sigma Brushes are a great cheaper alternative to MAC ones and the Real Techniques ones are a great all rounder brush. The one thing I can't seem to love is the Beauty Blender... I think its just too much effort.
-Do you use make-up base/primer for the eyes?
I always use an eyeshadow primer for my eyes because I get the dreaded creasing. Silly oily Asian skin.
-For the face?
When I remember. I usually use primer for my face when I'm going out for a special occasion and not usually for day to day wear.
-What is your favourite eyeshadow (color or shade)?
Aw man... This is a tough question considering I have over 40 MAC eyeshadows. Seeing I can't just pin point 1 favourite eyeshadow, I will give you my top 5. They are: Woodwinked, Satin Taupe, Soba, Bronze and Antiqued. (Yes, they are all shades of brown.)
-Do you use pencil or liquid eyeliner?
Pencil during the day and Liquid for going out. Pencil can be smudged and made to look softer but Liquid is good for making a statement and being defined.
-How often do you poke your eyes with an eyeliner pencil?
Yes, especially when I'm lining my tightline. I also hate getting makeup on my contact lenses. I'm not sure if other girls have this problem but argh!!!
-What do you think of pigment eyeshadows?
Not really my thing.
-Do you use mineral makeup?
I guess the only "mineral" makeup I have is my MAC Mineralize Skin Finish Powder in Medium Dark.
-What is your favorite lipstick?
This is like the eyeshadow question. Hahaha. I guess for day to day wear, I love my Revlon Lipbutters. For outings, I either go for my Nyx lipsticks or my MAC ones.
-How about lipgloss?
I love the Nyx ones. I have a few I bought off ebay in various colours. I also love the Bourjois Color Boost Lip Crayons.
-What is your favorite blush to use?
My most used blush would be my MAC limited edition Launch Away. Its a soft pink and I'm not usually a pink kind of person but its so soft, it looks amazing.
-Do you buy your makeup on ebay?
Yes because there are a lot of brands we can't get here in Australia which annoys the crap out of me so I have to result to ebay or other online stores.
-Do you like drugstore makeup?
Yes but there's no substitute for quality AKA MAC.
-Do you go to CCO's? (cosmetic company outlets)
I don't know if Australia has any of these but if there is, I'd like to know about them.
-Did you ever consider taking make-up classes?
Yes, I have. I have done a private makeup lesson with a MAC makeup artist and that was fantastic but I'd love to get a formal qualification in Makeup Artistry. One day...
-Are you clumsy in putting on makeup?
I wouldn't say I'm clumsy but I have my routine.
-Name a makeup crime that you hate?
Overdrawn eyebrows, too much foundation or over powdering. You ain't fooling anyone girlfriend.
-Do you like colorful shades of makeup (lipstick,eyeshadow) or neutral ones?
I guess that's the wonderful thing about makeup. You can express yourself with colour or just have a simple makeup look. I like both. Nothing beats a red lip.
-Which celebrity always has great make up?
There are many celebrities that have great makeup looks so you just can't pin point just one. But I'd have to say that Kate Winslet always looks amazing. She seems to always get her makeup done by Lisa Eldridge so I always watch her videos on youtube.
-If you could leave the house using just ONE make up item,what would you use?
Mascara. Always mascara. Silly flat, thin lashes.
-Could you ever leave the house without any makeup on?
Yes and on weekends I usually do. You should always have a makeup free day.
-Do you think you look good even without any makeup on?
I think I look alright. We all have our good and bad skin days. Makeup just helps sometimes.
-In your opinion, what is the BEST makeup line?
It depends on the product. I think that some companies do certain products better than others. For instance, MAC does the best eyeshadows. Hands down! Bourjois do amazing foundations. Revlon do amazing lip products. Rimmel do awesome nail polishes. You can't just say there's one great makeup line.
-What do you think of Makeup??
I think that makeup is a great way to express yourself. You can do so many things with makeup and use different colours or techniques depending on how you feel. You should never be scared to try something new with makeup, whether its trying a new product or wearing that bright coloured eyeliner. You might be surprised but how it looks. If you're unsure about something, research it. I done that with all the products I own. I've researched the crap out of them. Some of them are hit and miss but you just never know unless you try. (I say this mainly in regards to mascaras. Oh boy do I hate trying to find a decent mascara. I hope Maybelline don't change the formula to the current one I use otherwise I'll be very angry).
Have fun with makeup. If you don't like it, just wipe it off and start again! Its that easy.
