Personally , I love reading and watching beauty related Q&As to find out tips, tricks and recommendations of products to try out in order to help me to look my best as we all want to find out ways to feel better about our appearance , so I thought I would answer some of your beauty related questions today.
But before I get started please remember that you don't need to wear makeup to be beautiful , we are all different and that in its self is a beautiful thing :) If you do wear makeup , make sure you are wearing it to make you happy and not to impress others .
• ' What's one makeup item that you couldn't live without ? '
I'd say my collection work the colour eyebrow kit - strong brows make any makeup look complete In my opinion ( as long as they look fairly natural .. Which mine don't ..). Strong brows also help you appear more youthful .
• ' If you could only use one drugstore makeup brand what would it be ?'
100% Collection - a very affordable brand for good quality products for the price . A lot of my everyday makeup is from collection !
• ' Who is your ultimate beauty icon ?'
I'd say either Tanya Burr or Lennon Stella , I often go and scroll through eithers Instagram feed if I ever need inspiration for what to wear or what colour to paint my nails or how to do my hair and makeup as they both always look flawless ,yet natural :)
• ' Would you rather go without mascara or without foundation / concealer ?'
I'd definitely choose to have mascara instead of concealer ! I am lucky in the sense that I have good skin and don't break out very often , and when I do it's never terrible - even though concealer does get rid of my undereye circles I think concealer without mascara looks odd so I'd choose to wear mascara instead .
• ' What mascara do you use ? '
I use the natural collection black lash length mascara which is the same one that I have always used , as I have never had any issues with it / felt the need to change to a new one !
• ' If you could buy any makeup item what would it be and why ?'
Hmm I'm not too sure .. Probably something from MAC as I have never owned any MAC products and would love to see what all the fuss is about !
• ' Any tips on getting lipstick to last a long time ?'
This is something I have an issue with too ! Please let me know In the comments if you have the answer to this question :)
• ' How do you personally get rid of spots ? '
I believe staying hydrated is a great way to avoid getting spots in the first place , so drink plenty of water ! I also like to use a face mask once a week and the ones I use are the ' Montagne Jeunesse' face masks . I'd say if you do get any spots , avoid picking them and just leave them alone to run their course or they will scar over and remember spots are perfectly normal and you shouldn't be embarrassed about them :) Keeping your skin well moisturized and having a good skin care routine helps as well - I use products from the brand ' simple ' .
• ' Top 3 beauty tips ?'
1) drink plenty of water , I suggest the app ' plant nanny' which helps you track how much water you should be drinking per day .
2) Get enough sleep as this can not only help you avoid getting eye bags but also helps your skin to look more healthy , and also your skin will look more glowing when you are feeling full of energy and awake :)
3) Face masks - there are a range of different face masks out there which can do different jobs suited to your skin type , so pick one that's right for you .
• ' If you could dye your hair any colour without damaging it , what colour would you choose ? '
I can't imagine any other colour really suiting me .. I'd maybe go for a lilac ( if I could pull it off of course, which I doubt I could ! )
• ' Do you watch any beauty vloggers? '
YES I watch ALOT - here are some of my favourites :
~Tanya Burr
~ Samantha Maria
~Gabriella Lindley
~Charlotte Rose
~Noo Stenning
~Saffron Barker
• ' How do you get the perfect winged eyeliner ? '
IF ONLY I knew the answer to this ! I purchased the super cat eyeliner by soap and glory a few months back after being told it was easy for beginners but NOPE . All I can say is practice makes perfect ! ( but I gave up after about 3 attempts )
• ' What is the best foundation ?'
I don't use foundation so I can't give a personal opinion on this , so I'd suggest just searching the Interent and reading / watching foundation reviews before investing in one .
• ' What is the best makeup brush brand ? '
I don't use makeup brushes apart from one eyeshadow brush that I got from morrisons , so again , I can't give a personal opinion on this but I have heard good reviews about real techniques brushes , MAC brushes and Zoeva .
• ' What is the best lipstick ?'
I presume this means my personal favorite lipstick which, at the moment , is
03 'come naturally' by the brand essence . I love essence lipsticks and they are very very affordable too .
• ' Fave eyeshadow palette ?'
I love MUA eyeshadow palettes , I find they are very pigmented and last all day , have large variety of colours and again, are very affordable .
• ' What was your motive to start wearing makeup ?'
Numerous reasons; lack of self esteem , inspired by beauty bloggers and vloggers/ wanting to try out tutorials , and also that I really enjoy doing my makeup as it helps me feel more confident and also allows me to be creative and try out different looks , it allows people to be more creative with their appearance and unique which I think is wonderful :)
• ' What is your opinion on makeup brands that test on animals ?'
If I'm honest I'm not really educated enough on the issue of animal testing so can't really say, let me know in the comments your opinions on animal testing if you wish to do so !
And that's the end of the Q&A ! I hope you found it interesting and helpful :)
Thankyou for reading , have a good day :)
