Q&A
Welcome!
I decided to start this blog with a little Q&A so you guys can get to know me a lil’ bit. I’ll also be taking suggestions from y'all about what future posts you want to see! I figured this blog would be a good way to start, before I just jump into YouTube tutorials. For now, you guys will have to deal with picture tutorials and probably horribly worded explanations. hair flip
Let’s gooooo!
Q: What are 5 daily beauty/makeup products you MUST have?
A: This is hard because I feel like I use over 10 everyday. I would have to say a moisterizer is a necessity, I just use Aveeno Ultra-Calming Daily Moisterizer.
Then I would have to say primer…who wants their face melting? Na. I go back and fourth between Smashbox Photo Finish and Becca Ever-Matte Poreless Priming Prefector. FAVORITE!
Next, foundation, of course. Lately I’ve been hooked on Nars All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation. It’s soooo silky and literally, weightless.
I don’t know how this wasn’t the first one I thought of, because it’s like, my thing. EYE MOTHER F****** BROWS, LADIES. Y'all already know my go-to…Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade. It was so hard to choose between that and ABH Brow Definer…I hate this question. Next.
Lastly, I’m gonna have to go with mascara. No matter how “naked” I leave my face, I can never seem to leave my lashes completely bare. Mascara is hard for me because nothing I use amazes me, my lashes are short AF and for the most part, non existent. Right now I’m using Stila Huge Extreme Lash Mascara, it gets the job done,
Q: Where do you like to shop/buy your clothes?
A: Ugh…clothes. A love-hate relationship. I’m the girl that could find something literally anywhere. I really love Ross and TJ Maxx because I can get more for less, and I never wear any one item long enough to spend a lot of money on it. I also shop a lot at Buckle, American Eagle, and this adorable little boutique in my town called Fashion Below 15.
Q: What keeps you inspired?
A: Everything, honestly. The music I listen to, the movies I watch, nature. Of course several makeup artists keep me inspired as well. Here’s a few of my favvvves:
Sonjdra Deluxe
Jeffree Star
Deysi Danger
Ourfa Zinali
Stef Lova
Q: How long does it take you to do your makeup?
A: Anywhere from an hour to 2 hours, but I procrastinate a majority of the time singing and dancing to 90’s and 2000’s R&B.
(Where my Usher fans at? #letitburn)
Q: How many pets do you have?
A: Hahaha. We have 3 cats and 3 dogs. Excessive? Probably. But I just love them, okay?
Q: Why did you decide to start a blog?
A: Well, several people have asked me for makeup advice so I must be doing SOMETHING right. A few people have brought up the idea before, but I was set on starting a YouTube channel. I’ve realized that blogging might be a good first step. If people enjoy this, I’ll be more likely to start videos and spend money on proper equipment. Everybody starts somewhere! Also, I just really enjoy writing. Might as well write about something I’m passionate about. Win-win if people enjoy and get something useful out of it.
Q: Do you wear makeup even if you’re at home alone?
A: Yes, most of the time. Being such a beauty lover, I always tell people it’s nothing to hide behind and you should love your natural skin just as much. I’m getting more and more comfortable in my natural skin, I just prefer myself with makeup. eyeroll
Q: What’s your favorite color?
A: Uh, pink. Absolutely. Baby pink EVERYTHING. B.P.R.E.A.M.?
(Shout out to the Wu-Tang fans that got that horrible…joke? Pun?) Next.
Q: What is your favorite lipstick brand?
A: As far as liquid lipsticks, Jeffree Star Cosmetics Velour Liquid Lipsticks are hands down the best ones I have ever tried. They are so hydrating, long lasting, opaque, beautiful, perfect, everything we could ever want in a liquid lipstick. I just don’t understand them. Most long lasting are drying or stain your lips. His just, ugh. I love them.
As for regular lipsticks, I’ve always loved Mac. Their matte formula is personally my favorite. Always pretty colors and the formula is consistent.
Q: How often do wear false lashes?
A: Almost daily. I’ve been trying to take a break however, because when I wear them alllll day they start to irritate my eyes. Maybe I’m allergic to makeup but refuse to stop wearing it. (Just kidding, I would cry if I were allergic.)
That’s it for Q&A, thank you guys all for the support. If you have any additional questions I didn’t answer, or if you have any suggestions for future blog posts, there’s a little button under my bio that says “say hi”, I would love to connect with you lovelies.
