Hello, I have yet another tag for you today! (I promise I will be doing posts other than tags soon but I'm going on vacation soon so I don't really have time to take all the pictures I need to do a review or haul) So anyway here goes the new tag:
1. How old were you when you started wearing makeup? The first time I wore makeup was probably when I was around 6 or 7, because I had dance recitals where I had to wear stage makeup. When I started wearing some everyday makeup though was probably around 13, maybe earlier. It's hard to think of an exact time because I really eased into it slowly. At that time I really only wore concealer, some eyeshadow, maybe mascara, and little powder foundation. I started wearing a full face of make up on a regular basis during sophomore year of highschool so I guess when I was around 15.
2. How did you get into makeup? As I said previously, I was in dance recitals so I got to experience make up from a young age. My sister and her best friend would also let me play around with the make up when I was little, they would let me put it on them and they would put it on me. That's where I started getting interested with it. When I really started getting into makeup though was when I randomly discovered Kandee Johnson on YouTube and started watching her make tutorials and tips. She was really my biggest inspiration to start wearing everyday make up. My other inspirations to be more daring with my make up and start wearing foundation and more dramatic eyes have been Ingrid (missglamorazzi), Fleur (FleurDeForce), and Allison (amarixe). All four of them have inspired me so much and I am so thankful for their videos and credit them completely for me writing these blogs today. If it were not for them I would probably not be wearing make up (or at least not much) and wouldn't have discovered how much I enjoy it!
3. What are some of your favorite brands? Well I really only use drugstore brands so Maybelline, Revlon, Nyx, and Covergirl are pretty much my go to brands, though I like Loreal and Elf as well.
4. What does makeup mean to you? Makeup means so much to me. It gives me confidence and is a way for me to express what I'm feeling. It also fun and I love the creativity of it. It also something that makes me feel calm and in control. I give myself a lot of time to do my makeup because I don't like rushing it I like to enjoy every minute of putting my makeup on and allowing myself time to really execute what I want to well. At the camp I went to during the summer I put my make up every morning (not a full face but a descant portion of it) even though it was an outdoorsy camp and I knew that it didn't matter how I looked. It was a way for me to get my calm before the craziness of the day started and helped to fully wake me up before I had to help raise the flag. It also made me feel more at home to be doing something that I normally did at home.
5. If you could only wear 4 products on your face what would they be? This is pretty easy actually I would use Revlon 24 hr color stay foundation, Garnier anti dark circle roller, Covergirl Lashblast 24 hr mascara, and Nyx beige lip gloss.
6. What is your favorite thing about makeup? How you can do so much with it and really have fun with it! You can keep it really simple and natural or you can go all out and be bold and daring, whatever you feel like at the time.
7. What do you think about drugstore makeup vs high end makeup? I think at this point a lot of drug store make up is almost as good or equally as good as high end make up. There are still some things that high end companies still do better than drug store (like primers, highlighters, and maybe setting powders too) and the high end companies do usually have a lot better color selection and variety than the drug store though. I prefer using drug store makeup because it is cheaper and since I am still testing out what works for me and what doesn't it is a lot less expensive and I feel less guilty when I get a product that doesn't end up working out.
8. What is one tip of advice you can give to a beginner? Keep it fun. That may sound cliche but it's important. If you aren't having fun with your makeup then it's not worth the time. I would also suggest mixing things up, trying new things with makeup is part of the fun.
9. What is one makeup trend you never understood? Purple lips, I think it just looks really weird and unnatural. I know some people really love it but I just never have understood it... To each his own though. If you really love purple lips please leave me a comment tell me why because I'm curious what you guys think.
10. What do you think about the beauty community on YouTube? I think it is amazing, I really hope to someday be a part of it and it has become one of my dreams for the future. I would not be writing this blog right now if it weren't for the all those girls who made or are now part of the beauty community on YouTube. I owe almost all my knowledge about makeup to them and as I hope to someday help other young girls like the beauty girls helped me.
I hope you enjoyed reading this tag!
