Tag: Why do you wear make-up?

Hello everyone :)
Sorry I have been MIA for wow ages. I suppose you could say this year has been one of the toughest years I have faced in my life. Many ups and many downs. I could write a 10 page blog post about it, however, life is all about moving forward and what's in the past is in the past.

So to start of a new and fresh start I thought I would do a more personal post, the why I wear make-up tag. This was inspired by my friend, Laura :), check out her blog http://beautyoclock.blogspot.com.a she is amazing!

1.When did you begin loving make-up?

My love for make-up stemmed from a young age. I grew up with two younger sisters and an extremely girly girl Mum so basically I was as girly as they came. We would play barbies (including my mum) for hours on end, designing their bedrooms, boyfriends, schools, outfits and hair. I loved anything to do with being a girl. Make-up however really came into my life at around age 9-10. I always knew mum had a draw filled with products but I was never allowed to wear them until around this age. This was when i started experimenting with lipsticks and lipglosses, mascara and foundation, not that I had a clue about any of these names. Just before I started high school I started asking my Mum if she would buy me some make-up and throughout the years my collection accumulated. Mainly crappy 2 dollar shop stuff but then covergirl as this was my mums favorite make-up line so it was then became mine also( not for long though). My true and deepest love for make-up came when I started to earn my own money when I was 13. This was when I could truely explore all the different types, textures and products that the beauty world opened up to me.

2. How do you feel without make-up?
Hmm, this is quite a personal question I believe and a question that many girls may be hesitant to answer and or face. For me I am okay without wearing make-up, depending on the circumstance. If I am at home with my family I rarely have make-up on, however if I leave the house I do like to put something on just to give myself an extra boost of confidence. If I am going out for dinner or clubbing I love to wear a full face of makeup! Its all about making yourself feel good!I remember when I first started dating my boyfriend back when I was in year 10 I absolutely hated how I looked without make-up and would hate to been seen without it on near him and always use to get told of at school as we were not allowed it. Nowadays I dont care how he or others see me and I think this comes with maturing. You gradually begin to learn that this is who you are and you begin to love whats under the 'mask' and use make-up to enhance what you already have rather than cover it up.


3. What do you like about make-up?

I love so many things about make-up. I love how it makes me feel number one which is confident and I love how make-up makes me look. I love waking up in the morning and being able to look forward to playing around with colours and looks and transforming myself into how I want to look. I love how make-up is packaged and the varieties it offers! I love the way it makes other people feel good about themselves and how it allows for expression, individuality and openess. I LOVE MAKE-UP! :)


4. Three Holy Grail items?
Wow this is tough. If I had to chose three holy grail items they would be....
1. Mascara- I have terrible short stubby eyelashes and the only product that truly makes my eyes look decent and open is mascara!

Mascaras I love-
Bourjois- Volumizer
Revlon-Custom Eyes
Too faced- Lashgasm
Max Factor- False Lash Effect


2. BB Cream- I am a BB cream freak! Meaning I am obsessed with BB creams! I don't even use foundations anymore. They make my skin soft and smooth, dont really get oily and still give me the perfect coverage.

BB Creams I love-
Lioele- Beyond the Solution
Garnier- BB cream( the one for oily skin)
Skin 79( Super BB cream)

3. Concealer- I love concealer! I love how it makes my skin even all over, gets rid of my under eye circles and redness of blemishes.

Concealers I love-
Maybelline Age Rewind
Mac Studio Finish


Hope you all enjoyed :)

Speak very soon!
