What’s the worst beauty mistake you’ve made?
In high school I over-plucked my eyebrows and I would put black eyeliner on my waterline and then apply black eyeshadow over that to make it super think and dark. Thankfully my eyebrows have grown back and I don't even wear eyeliner anymore and if I do it's NOT black.

First, I will remove any makeup I've put on that day with my Neutrogena Make Up Remover Wipes and then in the shower I use my Clairsonic with a gel cleanser, the gel cleanser I'm using at the moment is the Clinique Liquid Facial Soap. When I get out of the shower I pat my face dry, tone my face with a Clinique Toner and then put on my Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion.

40 Beauty Questions!
SKINCARE
How many times do you wash your face daily?
I wash my face once a day using my Clarisonic.
What skin type do you have? (dry,oily,combo)
I have combination skin but more on the dry side.
What is your current facial wash?
I've been using the Clinique Liquid Facial Soap for about two years now.

What brand do you use?
See above question.
What moisturizer do you use?
Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion.
Do you have freckles?
No, but I wish I had more because I LOVE freckles!
Do you use eye cream?
Not at the moment.
Do you or did you have acne prone skin?
I've actually been super fortunate to never have had really terrible skin.
Did you ever have to use Pro-activ?
I've never used it.
MAKE-UP
What foundation do you use?
This is a tough question for me because I've tried out a number of different tinted moisturizers and foundations these past few months looking for something that works well with my skin and I've yet to find that so I'm up in the air with this question but I'll let you know when I find a good one :)
How about concealer?
I'm using the Christian Dior DiorSkin Skulpt Lifting Smoothing Concealer and I'm really enjoying it!
Do you know your undertone color?
I have yellow undertones.
What do you think of fake eyelashes?
I think they can look really beautiful if they're applied properly but I personally hate wearing them because I find them so uncomfortable.
Did you know that you are supposed to change your mascara every 3 months?
I do!
What brand of mascara do you use?
At the moment I'm using Lancome's Definicils and I'm loving it!
Sephora or MAC?
That's a tough question because Sephora carries a huge variety of makeup brands but MAC has a lot of really great makeup. If I had to choose I guess it would be MAC because the majority of my makeup is from MAC.
Do you have a MAC Pro-card?
I do not.
What makeup tools do you use in make up application?
I love to use my fingers but I also use brushes, eyelash curler, and a eyelash comb to remove any clumps my mascara may have left behind.
Do you use make-up base/primer for the eyes?
I don't always use a primer but if I do it's usually just a paint pot from MAC.
For the face?
I always use a face primer. Right now I'm currently using a Sephora brand primer.
What is your favorite eyeshadow (color or shade)?
I love MAC eyeshadows. I really love Wedge and Ricepaper.
Do you use pencil or liquid eyeliner?
Pencil. I love MAC's Eye Kohl in I Get No Kick.
How often do you poke your eyes with an eyeliner pencil?
Never. I don't usually line my eyes and when I do I'm not stabbing my eyes out.
What do you think of pigment eyeshadows?
I'm not a fan of pigments. I'm all about the natural look and pigments are a little too obvious for me.
Do you use mineral makeup?
I do like mineral makeup, I think everyone needs to have a few pieces of mineral makeup in their collection.
What is your favorite lipstick?
I really like Smashbox's, Delightful for a lipstick that has a pop of color and I like MAC's, Hue as well.
How about lipgloss?
I love e.l.f.'s mineral lipglosses - they're not sticky at all and they're super affordable!
What is your favorite blush to use?
I actually don't use blush that often. I'm more of a bronzer girl but if I had to choose a blush I would choose Bare Essential's Mineral Blush is Pretty; it gives you the most gorgeous and subtle flush to your cheeks.
Do you buy your makeup on ebay?
I've never bought makeup on ebay but I was pondering buying MAC'S Warming Trend eyeshadow on ebay earlier this afternoon.
Do you like drugstore makeup?
I think there are a lot of really great drugstore brands out there and people shouldn't just believe they're only going to get the best application and coverage with higher end makeup brands. I'm a fan of drugstore makeup!
Do you go to CCO's? (cosmetic company outlets)
I don't have a CCO in my state and I'm not even sure where the closest CCO is but I would love to visit one!
Did you ever consider taking make-up classes?
I've never considered it but that would definitely be a lot of fun for me.
Are you clumsy in putting on makeup?
If I'm in a rush I can get a little clumsy but I usually take my time.
Name a makeup crime that you hate?
Over-plucked eyebrows! Eyebrows are such an important feature on your face and it's so important to keep them in perfect shape!
Do you like colorful shades of makeup (lipstick,eyeshadow) or neutral ones?
I prefer neutral shades but I enjoy a pop of color on the lips every once in a while.

If you could leave the house using just ONE make up item, what would you use?
Definitely foundation, flawless skin is something I really try hard to achieve.

Do you think you look good even without any makeup on?
I'm pretty comfortable with my fresh face look.
In your opinion, what is the BEST makeup line?

Beautiful New Year Eyes!
Eyes: I used MAC's Groundwork Paint Pot as a base, then I used MAC's Retrospec all over the lid, I used MAC's Brule as a highlight, and I lightly dusted MAC's Wedge in the crease. For mascara I applied Lancome's Definicil's Mascara in Brown.
Lips: I have MAC's lipstick in Hue all over my lips and I topped that off with MAC's lipglass in the color C-Thru.
Face: On the apples of my cheeks I used MAC's Dame Blush. For a bronzer I have on NARS Laguna Bronzer and as a highlight I applied MAC's Mineralized Skinfinish in Soft and Gentle.
Revlon's Nail Polish in Minted
Hi guys! I just wanted to share this nail polish color with you all. I'm currently wearing Revlon's Minted and I'm loving it. It's a beautiful pastel toned green, very much like a light mint color (hence the name). Some of you may be able to notice the slight sparkle on my ring finger. I added a silver sparkle polish to my ringer finger only just to give my nails a unique touch. I believe the silver nail polish I used is from Wet n' Wild. Hope you guys enjoy and I'm wishing everyone a happy and healthy new year!
