Make Up Story Tag

Hi

and welcome back to my blog, Its been a while since I have last posted I know, But I am back with a Tag post for you all, its my makeup story tag,

I hope you enjoy


1. How old were you when you started wearing makeup?

Fresh Face Lauren. 2002 Germany

I was around 12 or 13 when I started wearing makeup here and there and then when I was 14 was when I started wearing makeup every day, I think this is around the age that most people start wearing make up

2. How did you get into makeup?
When I first started wearing makeup everyday I got started because my best friend at the time got me in to it, we went out for a night out and ever since then I have worn makeup everyday 

3. What are some of your favorite brands?
Rimmel London and Maybeline New York are some of my favorite brands, they are the ones that I have found work really well for me and I have used for years and years.

I do like other brands there have been very few that have worked well for me

4. What does makeup mean to you? 
Makeup has given me confidence with my appearance. I never have liked the way I looked but when I wear makeup I feel as if I can be me. It has given me highs and lows but the highs sure do out weigh the lows

5. If you could only wear 4 products on your face what would they be?

Foundation, Mascara, Setting Powder and Lipstick, each one gives me that little bit extra confidence and makes me feel complete

6. What is your favorite thing about makeup?
There are a few things, one is how it has changed and how I have changed using it, I went to just wearing foundation, mascara and lipgloss to adding liquid eyeliner, setting power and eye shaddows, using brushes and blending it in more and not having the foundation line. I also like how I can create different looks,

7. What do you think about drugstore makeup vs. high end makeup? 
I don't own a lot of high end makeup, only the urban decay naked 3 pallet and a setting powder, I have nothing against high end products, I just haven't felt the need to spend money I dont have. I am a total drugstore makeup person, and I tend to only go for things that I know work or that are on sale

8. What is one tip of advice you can give a beginner?

Buy brushes, the are a life saver, there are so many different kinds of brushes that you get out there and they really do work.
You need to remember what is good for you may not be right for you.
Don'y go right for the high end makeup brands, try out different drugstore makeup first. Its a lot cheaper ad sometimes a lot better then high brand

9. What is one makeup trend you never understood?
I don't know if everyone one did it but when I was at high school years ago people would have super thin eyebrows and use white eye shadow with white eye liner on the water line

10. What do you think of the beauty community on YouTube?

I think the beauty community is great on YouTube.  I like watching a wide variety of people on YouTube and each of them brings something different to the table. There are some products that I see them review and will go out and buy and sometimes I like it and other times I do not, but that's the whole beauty of YouTube and different people
