Make-Up Tag

I found this makeup tag while browsing some of my favorite blogs and I love answering questions! Disclaimer: I am not fond of make-up because I don’t know how to use it. I’m more on the skin care area and DIYs… I really enjoy watching youtube videos and if monetary restraints weren't a problem, then I would probably spend more on makeup but for me skin care comes first because if you have good skin, you can get away with minimal make up. 

Here we go…

1. How many times do you wash your face daily? ——-> Twice a day: upon waking/during bath and upon arriving home/before going to bed.
2. What skin type do you have? Dry, oily, or combi skin? ——-> I have Normal Skin. 
3. What is your current facial wash? ——-> Etude House Green Tea. I bought this yesterday and the results are great. Its my new favorite facial wash. :)
4. Do you exfoliate? How often? ——-> I exfoliate once week.
5. What product do you use to exfoliate? ——-> St. Ives Apricot Scrub
6. What moisturizer do you use? ——-> I use Pond's White Beauty Daily Spotless Lightening during the day and I love that it has SPF. Olay Complete Night Cream before going to bed.
7. Do you have freckles/sun spots? ——-> Nope. I find freckles cute though. :)
8. Do you use eye cream? ——-> Not yet.
9. Do you or did you have acne prone skin? ——-> I used to have plenty of acne during my teens but I'm sure glad I'm over that phase, my self-esteem plummeted downwards during that time! Now I only have 2-3 pimples during my cycle.
10. Did you ever have to use pro-activ? ——-> Nope, maybe my teenage self would've as I literally bought tons of anti-acne solutions back then just to rid myself of pimples but now I'm all good.
11. What foundation do you use? ——-> I really like using powder foundations, the one with the pink compact from In2it.

14. What do you think of fake eyelashes? ——-> I was only able to use them once during my sister's wedding but its not my thing when it come to everyday wear. I'm good with mascara and curler.

16. What brand of mascara do you use? ——-> I use Clinique.
17. Sephora or Mac? ——-> I've heard a lot of raves from Mac, so I'd go for that one but since its kinda expensive(I'm stingy when it comes to make up as I prefer skin care products) I think I'll try it once I have my own job.
18. Do you have a Mac pro card? ——-> Nope.
19. What makeup tools do you use in makeup application? ——-> I don't have one...

24. How often do you poke your eyes with an eyeliner pencil? ——-> I used to but not anymore! Practice makes perfect. :)
25. What do you think of pigment eyeshadows? ——-> I'm not so sure as I prefer to stick to my neutral colored ones.
26. Do you use mineral makeup? ——-> Nope but I will try someday.
27. What is your favorite “go-to” lipstick? Why? ——-> Maybelline Mocha! Its my MLBB shade and I love it to bits! I'm not a lipstick person but I'm glad my mom bought it for me because its the perfect shade for my natural look that I always go for.

40. In your opinion, what is the best makeup line? ——-> MAC, Shu Uemura, Maybelline and NYX
41. What do you think of makeup? ——-> Make-up should only be used to improve one’s appearance and not hide imperfections - there’s proper skin care to fight it. But one should never rely too much on make-up. You have to be confident in your own skin.
42. What is your favorite “quote” related to makeup? ——-> Less is more.
43. If you were a makeup tool/product, what would you be and why? ——-> I’d be a lip and cheek tint! I'm so into multi-tasking and it makes life more interesting. :)
