S K I N C A R E
How many times do you wash your face a day?
It depends. Always ONCE in the morning with Dermalogica’s Essential Cleansing Solution.
At night ONCE, if I haven’t got makeup on.
And anywhere up to THREE ‘cleanses’ if I am wearing makeup. One to break down the makeup using a oil to cleanse (I use Pre Cleanse Dermalogica). Two to remove makeup ( I use Special Cleansing Gel Dermalogica) And three to ensure nothing is left behind and to replenish dry skin and maintain moisture levels (I use Essential Cleansing Solution Dermalogica) !
What skin type do you have?
Typically it’s dry, I sometimes get eczema when I’m stressed. And at that time of the month I do get a bit of an oily T-Zone. .
What is your current facial wash?
My cleanser is Dermalogica’s Pre Cleanse which breaks down makeup and Essential Cleansing Solution. (Click here to read about my current skincare routine!!!)
Do you exfoliate ?
Yes, once a week.
What brand do you use?
Dermalogica Skin Prep Scrub.
What moisturiser do you use?
Dermalogica Skin Smoothing Cream
Do you have freckles?
Nope
Do you use eye cream?
Yes Dermalogica Intensive Eye Repair
Do you or did you have acne prone skin?
As a teen I had regular teenage spots nothing as bad as diagnosed acne though, and now I get regular outbreaks around the time of my monthly cycle.
Did you ever have to use Pro-activ?
No but I used clearasil which is like the UK version. It doesn’t work, just dries your skin out more.
M A K E U P
What foundation do you use?
Clinique Beyond Perfecting Foundation and Concealer. In shade 0.5 Breeze.
How about concealer?
It’ll depend either No7 Match Made Concealer in shade Calico or Clinique Airbrush Concealer in shade Fair.
Do you know your undertone color?
Cool !!! I’m basically transparent!
What do you think of fake eyelashes?
Look great but I haven’t got a good level of patience to apply them.
Did you know that you are supposed to change your mascara every 3 months?
Yes! But who is going to spend £10+ on a mascara and throw it away after 3 months? We aren’t made of money! As long as you don’t share it, pump the bottle or use it after an eye infection your all good by my books. You’ll know if it’s off. If it goes really clumpy and it’s smell changes!
What brand of mascara do you use?
No 7 Exceptional Definition
Sephora or MAC?
Neither we don’t have Sephora in the uk. And I cannot stand the service you get in MAC !
Do you have a MAC Pro-card?
No
What makeup tools do you use in make up application?
Not that many actually. A foundation brush (I love the Ciara Daly Hero Brush), multiple eye brushes, eyebrow comb, contour and cheek brushes.
Do you use makeup base/primer for the eyes?
Only if I wear eyeshadow
For the face?
Yes ! Either Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer or Avon MagiX Prime and Set Spray !
What is your favourite eyeshadow (colour or shade)?
Any from the Urban Decay Naked Palette
Do you use pencil or liquid eyeliner?
Neither. Again I haven’t got the patience to master it. Plus I’m to much of a perfectionist to ever have it right!
How often do you poke your eyes with an eyeliner pencil?
Never, but a mascara wand is a whole other story.
What do you think of pigment eyeshadows?
I prefer set powders, pigment is just too messy.
Do you use mineral makeup?
No but I used to!
What is your favourite lipstick?
Don’t particularly use lipstick that often.
How about lipgloss?
It’s Rimmel Stay Glossy Lip Gloss in shade Orange Your Life !
What is your favourite blush to use?
It’s in a Sculpting Palette by Tropic Skincare in shade option Coral Blush.
Do you buy your makeup on eBay?
No!!! (You don’t know how long they’ve had it !! )
Do you like drugstore makeup?
Yes.
Do you go to CCO’s? (Cosmetic Company Outlets)
No
Did you ever consider taking makeup classes?
I’m a beauty therapist but we only did a make up unit, nothing fancy. It consisted of applying green/ blue eyeshadow, applying mascara without poking your classmates eye out and wearing foundation two shades to dark. I’m naturally really pale so just imagine that !
Are you clumsy in putting on makeup?
I’ve got it down to a fine art, but eyeliner and lipstick is a big no no for me !
Name a makeup crime that you hate.
It’s got to be Oompa Loompa foundation!!! When your face doesn’t match the shade of your neck!
Do you like colourful shades of makeup (lipstick, eyeshadow) or neutral ones?
Neutrals are just right for me, the boldest I go for is gold (and that’s blended with the browns !) On other people though it looks great! I like to keep my make up ‘safe’.
Which celebrity always has great makeup?
Adele, Jennifer Lawrence or Beyoncé !
If you could leave the house using just ONE makeup item, what would you use?
Foundation
Could you ever leave the house without makeup on?
I do it all the time and then regret it instantly when I see someone I know!! I’m not ashamed of my skin but makeup gives you confidence and a good skin day makes you shine!
Do you think you look good even without any makeup on?
From above the bridge of my nose yes, anything south of that is hit and miss!
In your opinion, what is the BEST makeup line?
Budget – Barry M / No7
Splurge – Clinique/ Urban Decay
What do you think of makeup?
It’s something that I could live without if my skin was amazing, but I know it gives confidence to so many people and myself so I’ll keep buying it !
