30 Questions Makeup Tag!!!

Hey everyone!

Firstly, I would like to say thank you to those who have motivated me to start blogging and share my thoughts with the world! None of this would’ve been possible without the support of my loved ones, thank you once again!

I’ve decided to start my blog with a question tag so you can get a glimpse of what I’m like especially with makeup! ;)

Questions from: http://thebeautysection.com/30-beauty-questions-tag/

♥.·:*¨¨*:·.♥.·:*:·.♥.·:*¨¨*:·.♥

1. Do you remember your first makeup item? YES! It was a foundation from Maybelline!

2. Describe your perfect mascara. Have you found one that fits your specifications? The perfect mascara is smudge-proof, water resistant, thickening and lengthening. As of now, I would have to go with Too Faced’s Better Than Sex waterproof mascara. Undoubtedly, the normal one is less drying imo however I prefer the waterproof one also because it holds my lashes up throughout the day (after curling it).

3. What kind of coverage do you prefer from foundation? I prefer full coverage because I tend to have prominent red skin which shows even under medium coverage.

4. Favourite high end brand? I absolutely love Tarte and Too Faced. Tate works well with my skin (I have hypersensitive skin so I’m prone to allergic reactions and acne) and most of their products are breathable so they’re comfortable to wear throughout the day. Too Faced has adorable packaging and I love the quality too! I’m obsessed with their eyeshadow palettes and gorgeous lip cosmetics.

5. What cosmetic brands have you always wanted to try but still haven’t? Wet N Wild, BH cosmetics, Lime Crime, Morphe, Juvia’s Place and Colourpop!

6. Favourite drugstore brand? ELF and Nyx. Hands down.

7. Do you wear fake eyelashes? Yes I do! I do not wear them often (yes, Instagram can be misleading) because I don’t have enough confidence to wear them out hah.

8. Is there any kind of makeup you can’t leave the house without? Several things to be completely honest! I hate leaving the house without BB cream on, mascara and slightly darkened brows (I’d use a brow mascara minimally).

9. What is your most cherished beauty product? Everything to be frank. I cherish my products equally being drugstore or high-end because these were bought with hard-earned money and even if they ever happened to be sent by a company or so, it would still be deeply cherished because it’s a privilege!!!

10. How often do you shop for makeup? Do you like to pick up an item here and there or get lots of goodies at once? *nervous laugh* It really depends on my budget because if I want to spoil myself, I go all out. If I have to replenish or buy an alternative, then I will.

11. Do you have a “beauty budget” or you spend freely? I do have a budget. I am still a student and live with my parents so I prefer using my own money otherwise I would ask my parents if I could get something haha (they’re normally there with me while I shop).

12. Do you utilise coupons, reward cards and sales when you shop for cosmetics? Yes, as much as possible.

13. What type of product do you buy the most of? ANYTHING FOR MY LIPS.

14. Is there a brand that you absolutely can’t stand? I do not think so…

15. Do you avoid certain ingredients in cosmetics like parabens or sulphites? As much as possible yes, however I do not wear makeup for long hours and take them off as soon as I am home (so it isn’t THAT BAD ) because I’m particular about my skin.

16. Do you have a favourite place to shop for makeup? It is Sephora as of now because I live in Asia and the choices aren’t that great per se (well, I am referring to products that work with my skin).

17. Do you like trying new skincare products or do you keep a certain routine? I prefer keeping to a fixed routine; a clay based cleanser and water based facial moisturiser. I have sworn by this ever since I found my cleanser because it cleared up my acne and my skin stopped flaking as well as burning.

18. Favourite bath and body brand? I won’t deny that I still wash myself with baby soap HAHAHA however I really like The Body Shop though I am not fussy a bath and body brand. Most of the products I use for my body are homemade or natural.

19. If you could only buy from one brand, which brand would you choose? If you’re referring to makeup… I would say Tarte because of the variety; they’ve got gorgeous falsies, amazing products in general and their cosmetics are cruelty free (plus point for anyone who is particular about animal testing)!!!

20. What brand do you think has the best packaging? This is such a hard question ugh. I love Kat Von D’s edgy and dark packaging. I love Tarte’s earthly packaging. I love Too Faced’s food-related packaging. UGH HELP ME!!!!

21. Which celebrity always has great makeup? I DON’T ACTUALLY PAY MUCH ATTENTION TO CELEBRITIES BUT I LOVE BRETMAN ROCK AND PRINCESS MAE’S MAKEUP ALWAYS (plus, they are insanely fashionable).

22. Do you belong to any online makeup communities? NO!! :( but I would love to!!!

23. 5 favourite beauty gurus There are too many to choose from however these are some from the top of my head: Amanda Ensing, Marzia Bisgonin, Nikkietutorials, Comethrumaya and Daisy Marquez

24. Do you like multifunctional products like lip and cheek stains? Hmmm I don’t because it really messes with my emotions like I’m super inflexible when it comes to products; if a product is used for several things, I would still find that SOLE PURPOSE FOR IT. However, I hope that my inner-neurotic-and-obsessive-behaviour would subside and allow me to give versatile products a go.

25. Are you clumsy in putting on makeup? YES. I would normally redo and reapply makeup at least 5 times. For instance, I can’t actually do a winged eyeliner without messing up 7 times (I’m serious).

26. Do you use makeup base/primer for the eyes? Yes, I use a primer.

27. How many hair products do you use on a typical day? Nothing besides shampoo and conditioner. On days that I swim, I would use a protein hair mask or use coconut oil.

28. What do you apply first, concealer or foundation? Foundation! :D

29. Do you ever consider taking makeup classes? I have not because I would say that I’ve learned a lot from Instagram and YouTube.

30. What do you love about makeup? DANG THIS IS A BIG QUESTION! I absolutely love how makeup is an art; you are free to express yourself through dramatic, sultry, simple and/or any type of makeup. It warms my heart when people break societal constructs such as gender norms and perceived forms of beauty through makeup. Everyone is liberal to customise their God-given beauty in whatever way that makes them most comfortable and confident. I love it when people are bold enough to try something new and improve from their mistakes or initial steps. We all start off somewhere and within this generation, many are often supportive of one another who choose to wear makeup (and even if they don’t). Makeup is not discriminative in any way so people of different backgrounds and personalities could express themselves through it! :D

That’s about it for the question tag, don’t forget to follow for more posts and feel free to give this a go! Thank you so much for reading!
