This TAG is almost a year old, but I just start writing TAG posts. I’m sorry I’m late! :P
I found this tag on Bella Glam Brunette.
Let’s get started!
- How old were you when you started wearing makeup?
I’ve definitely shared this embarrassing moment with you for THIS poll. So to reiterate, I started wearing makeup in & around the 7th and 8th grade. I used to wear foundation that was way too light, with no bronzer or blush. I just looked really pale. I also wore heavy black eyeliner, on my upper and lower waterline. It was a disaster. - How did you get into makeup?
I’ve always worn makeup. Throughout the years, it evolved into a talent. I really started getting into makeup a couple years ago when my BFF introduced me to the Make Up Geek website. That’s when I decided to turn this into a career. - What are some of your favourite brands?
I used a variety of brands for different things. I like Urban Decay and Sleek Make Up for their eyeshadows, I like MAC for their lipsticks, I like Benefit for their blushes, I like Lancome for their liquid foundation, I like NYX for their lip gloss… Just to name a few.
- What does makeup mean to you?
Without getting too deep and lengthy, makeup is an art that enhances every woman’s natural and beautiful features. It’s a creative outlet. It’s a form of confidence. It can make or break your brides day. It can make a mother of young children feel great about herself, even for just one night. - If you could only wear 4 products on your face, what would they be?
a BB cream, a blush, mascara, and a lip product such as a lipstick, lip gloss, or balm. - What is your favourite thing about makeup?
I love anything that is highly pigmented. Eyeshadow, lip stick, blush, etc. It just makes one look so much more vibrant and alive, rather than dull and washed out. - What do you think about drugstore makeup vs. high end makeup?
I think if you can afford the higher end products, go for it. If not, there are a lot of cheaper alternatives/dupes for the higher end makeup. One thing I will not buy at a drugstore is foundation because they do not offer testers.
- What is one tip of advice you can give to a beginner?
Wear the right shade of foundation for your skin tone. You can use this post as a guide to determine your undertone and skin tone. As long as your foundation looks natural, the rest of your face will come together nicely. - What do you think about the beauty community on Youtube?
I can’t say much about the “community” aspect of it because while I do watch videos, I don’t usually participate in the comment conversations. Although, some people are just down right RUDE. I do actively watch a few different channels that I find helpful and because of their creativity. For example, QueenOfBlending is insanely talented. Her videos are basic but her looks are incredible. I watch MakeUpGeek because Marlena and her staff are very helpful, friendly, down to earth, and just fun to watch. Their videos are very professional. - What is one makeup trend you’ve never understood?
Spider lashes. Why anyone want their eyelashes to look thick and clumpy is beyond me.
