Question & Answer

Good evening!

Over time, people have been asking me some questions. I thought now would be a good time to answer some.

What make up item couldn't you live without?

It is a tough choice between my mascara and eyebrow pencil. Can I have both? pretty please.

Favourite brand of brushes.

I would would say Crown and Mac. Both have amazing brushes but they come at a cost. If you want something a little cheaper, then I would say No7. Some of there brushes are lovely.

What's your favourite glam item?

It would have to be my fake eye lashes without a doubt. I love them, the bigger the better. The other half thinks this is funny, but what does he know. x

Lipstick, tint or gloss?

It really depends on what im doing, but if I had to only have one then it would be ........ lipstick. Better choice of colours and well they can quickly change your look. I love brilliant colours, especially pink, purple and reds.

What is your cleansing routine?

Morning - eye make up remover, wipe off cleanser, toner, moisturiser and lip balm.

Evening - eye make up remover, wipe of cleanser, facial wash scrub, toner, night cream, dark circle under eye cream and lip balm.

How often do you wash your brushes?

If I am using them on other people, then every day as they collect dirt and bacteria. If it is on myself, then I am a bit bad and do them sometimes every other day but generally every day.

If you do it every day, it take hardly any time and they have that lovely clean feeling.

What do you use to clean you brushes?

Baby shampoo. Cheap, smells lovely and also as most brushes are made up of hair, I think that it works well. Just make sure to clean them fully.

Tips for great skin.

Cleanse, toner and moisturise and drink plenty of water.

Tips for making it more than a hobby?

Practice, practice, practice. Don't be afraid to try anything and don't give up.

Tips for looking after my make up?

• I store mine in professional make up boxes.
• Don't stick you finger in anything as bacteria grows and spreads quickly.
• Don't keep make up for years. It does go out of date.  After 5 months, chuck it out.

What is your favourite brand of make up?

Mac is one of my all time favourites but you have to use what works with your skin. For instance, my mum love bourjois foundation and they work really well on her skin but I fine them too heavy on mine as I have dry skin. There is not point going for the big brands if they don't work on your skin, or they feel uncomfortable as people won't be impressed by what your wearing if it looks wrong.

Shimmer or matte?

mmm depends on the product.

Foundations and blushers - Matte

Eye shadows and highlighters - shimmer ( but use carefully, you don't want to look like a kids cartoon).

Very late nights out, how I do hide this in the morning?

Well there are a couple of things that you can do for a couple of does however, too many while start to show no matter what you do.

I suggest cleanse, tone and moisturise, make sure that eye brows are always kept in shape as these frame the face and will certainly help of these days. Use a good coverage foundation to even out the skin tone and apply concealer under the eyes to reduce the shadows. If you eyes aren't bloodshot or a bit pink, then white or peach (even better) on the water line helps perk up the eyes. Also curl lashes to make the eyes pop.

And importantly, when you can relax, grab yourself a good long sleep. Nothing beats it.

I have spots. Help!

DO NOT SQUEEZE, PICK OR TOUCH.

Drink lots of water, and apply some spot cream of your choice. Make sure that your hands are clean when you do this to stop getting more dirt on the spots.

Ok well I hope this has answered some of your questions. I will answer more at a later date
