So I was browsing through some beauty blogs and came across this little Q&A tag that I thought would be fun to do. It’s a fun way to learn other people’s makeup and skin care routines as well as discovering other beauty blogs that I can follow!
I tag the following to give this Q&A tag a go

SKINCARE
–How many times do you wash your face daily?
Twice, when I wake up and before I go to bed. Obviously I’m not perfect and sometimes I get lazy at night but marjority of the time I do.
-What skin type do you have? (dry,oily,combo)
I have normal to cominiation skin, but the late afternoon/evening I do get a little oily on my nose and forehead.
-What is your current facial wash?
At the moment I use Biore blemish cleanser as well as the Biore triple action toner.
-Do you exfoliate?
Yes. I love using a facial scrub on my face! It feels like it gets all the dirt off my face and pores.
-What brand do you use?
I’ve been using St. Ives Apricot Scrub ever since I was 17! I’ve tried other face scrubs but I always go back to my St. Ives.
-What moisturizer do you use?
I change between Aveeno, Sukin and L’Oreal day and night cream. Depending on what’s at arms reach.
-Do you have freckles?
Unfortunately not, I think they’re so cute on faces!
-Do you use eye cream?
I know I should but I don’t
-Do you or did you have acne prone skin?
I’m thankful to say that I never went through any bad acne throughout my teen years. Now I get the odd pimple on my chin when it’s that time of the month. I break out when I eat fatty and sugary foods but apart from that, I have pretty acne free skin.
-Did you ever have to use Pro-activ?
I’ve heard too many bad reviews about it that I was never interested to try it.
MAKE-UP
-What foundation do you use?
I have my current favourites. At the moment I’ve been loving Rimmel’s Lasting Finish 25hrs foundation. I use it every day for work and on day’s I want a light coverage I always to go my Chi Chi BB cream. Nars Sheer Glow foundation will always be my holy grail foundation though!
-How about concealer?
Rimmel’s Wake Me Up concealer is my favourite at the moment.
-Do you know your undertone color?
I have the typical asian yellow undertone but I do have an olive tan skin tone
-What do you think of fake eyelashes?
I love them! However I only ever wear them on big nights and special occasions. I think they complete a makeup look and they make you look wide awake. I have friends who have naturally long lashes and it urgh just kills me with jealousy
-Did you know that you are supposed to change your mascara every 3 months?
Yes but like everyone else I keep my mascaras past the 3 months. I have a wide mascara collection that I change mascaras every month, anyway.
-What brand of mascara do you use?
At the moment it’s a mixture of Benefit They’re Real and L’Oreal Miss Manga mascara. I tend to wear two mascaras at the same time. Benefit to separate my lashes and Miss Manga to add volume are a match made in heaven
-Sephora or MAC?
Sephora just reached our shores in Australia late last year in Sydney and I live in Melbourne so unfortunately I haven’t had the chance to experience Sephora. MAC cosmetics are always a winner, but I’ve been able to find dupes without breaking the bank.
-Do you have a MAC Pro-card?
No, I don’t think I buy enough MAC to make it worth my wild.
-What makeup tools do you use in make up application?
A damp sponge for liquid foundation and concealers. Brushes for everything else.
-Do you use make-up base/primer for the eyes?
Yes. Essence I Love Stage eye shadow primer works a treat! It doesn’t crease my eye shadow but it’s a hit or miss for other people as it has a yellow-tone shade, which doesn’t work for different skin tones.
-For the face?
Of course. I never not prime my face before foundation. At the moment I’m loving the Australis CYA Later Pores primer for my Tzone and the Models Prefer Lift Revitalizing primer for around my face.
-What is your favorite eyeshadow (color or shade)?
I don’t have a current favourite but I like my nude and smokey shadows, with hints of berry and pink shades
-Do you use pencil or liquid eyeliner?
I use pencil and gel liners. I find liquids are harder to use. I don’t have much of a steady hand.
-How often do you poke your eyes with an eyeliner pencil?
I’m pleased to say that I don’t think I’ve ever done that before!
-What do you think of pigment eyeshadows?
They’re amazing when you know how to use them. I on the other hand dont know how to use them myself.
-Do you use mineral makeup?
I’m using the Models Prefer Soft Touch mineral power at the moment. It leaves your skin with a nice dewy glow.
-What is your favorite lipstick?
It changes all the time! Though I prefer matte creams over lipsticks and my favourites are the NYX soft matte lip creams
-How about lipgloss?
I don’t wear lipgloss all that often, if ever. The closest gloss that I wear are the NYX Butter glosses, which I’m obsessed with.
-What is your favorite blush to use?
Either the NYX cream blushes or Maybelline’s Master Hi-Light blush
-Do you buy your makeup on ebay?
No and I don’t think I ever will. When it comes to makeup I like to know where they came from and where it was made.
-Do you like drugstore makeup?
I love drugstore makeup. I believe that you don’t have to spend so much on good quality makeup. I do own some high end makeup but I mostly buy from the drugstore.
-Do you go to CCO’s? (cosmetic company outlets)
I go to anywhere where there’s a sale
-Did you ever consider taking make-up classes?
Not for glamour makeup but I’d love to take special effects makeup classes.
-Are you clumsy in putting on makeup?
Only when I’m in a rush. I try to give myself plenty of makeup time before I have to be anywhere
-Name a makeup crime that you hate?
Not blending your foundation down to your neck! Urgh! Not blending in general is a makeup crime in itself.
-Do you like colorful shades of makeup (lipstick,eyeshadow) or neutral ones?
I like neutrals and nudes. I sometimes go wild with a bright lippie and keep everything else simple.
-Which celebrity always has great make up?
Every one of them. Why? Because they have their very own glam squad! Dont be fooled!
-If you could leave the house using just ONE make up item,what would you use?
Mascara. Bright wide eyes are always a must.
-Could you ever leave the house without any makeup on?
I do most of the time. I only ever wear makeup for work or if I’m going out for the night. I like to let my skin breath.
-Do you think you look good even without any makeup on?
I have no issues with not wearing any makeup. Sometimes, less is more.
-In your opinion, what is the BEST makeup line?
Nars. I have so many favourites from that line, unfortunately I can’t afford them all!
-What do you think of Makeup?
It shouldn’t be the most important thing to anyone, male or female. It should be used to enhance features and not change them to make you look like someone completely different. I love makeup (obviously) and I love wearing makeup but it’s not an essential thing in my life.
Until next time,
