*25 Questions Tag! :]

Hey ladies!

So, I saw this post on the lovely "Jo Make Me Blush" blog and thought it would be fun to do! Thanks doll ;) Please feel free to join with us and post this tag too!

1. Do you apply your foundation with a brush, sponge, or fingers?
I used to use my mineral foundation as is and applied with a regular brush. I then discovered I loved using my mineral foundation wet and purchased red sponges from an online mineral site. Months later I discovered the fabulous Beauty Blender (through a swap) and have not tried anything else. I really want to try MAC brushes, as I have never used/owned any and I heard the 187/188 are wonderful for foundation.

2. Do you apply your eyeshadow from light to dark? or dark to light?
Typically, light to dark.

3. Do you prime your eyes?
Honestly, I never do unless it's a special occasion and sometimes even then I forget. I need to start doing it more! When I do, I use Urban Decays.

4. Concealer first, or after foundation?
I have always been told and have learned if you do concealer after foundation, it gives you more/longer lasting coverage. I used to apply before.

5. Go for manicures, or manicure yourself?
I used to get my nails done but due to not having any money, I do them myself. I am trying to grow my natural nails out now and just getting into polishes/what not.

6. Exfoliate lips, face or both?
I exfoliate both lips and face.

7. On average, how long does it take you to do your makeup?
I would say average is 25-30 minutes.

8. Do you wear makeup everyday and everywhere?
I usually wear makeup everyday and always go with a tinted moisturizer if I choose to wear no makeup.

9. What release are you most excited about? (Makeup)
I am excited for the new MAC Collection "In The Groove". Seems to obtain some pretty face and lip products!

10. What's your weakness? Shoes, purses, clothes, jewelry, eyeshadow, lipstick or other?
ALL, plus plus plus!

11. Do you whiten your teeth?
Very, very rarely. I haven't for a very long time and when I do, I use Crest Strips only. I usually forget to use them on a daily basis too...woops!

12. Wax eyebrows, or pluck?
I have always plucked my own, never waxed/shaved.

13. What do you use to contour?
I usually use MAC blush in "Blunt" or MAC blush in "Harmony" for contouring.

14. False lashes, or natural?
Natural, never tried falsies.

15. Favorite makeup brand?
MAC, of course and Illamasqua at the moment, but there are so many great products from all kinds of different brands!

16. Liquid eyeliner, pencil or gel?
I haven't practiced enough with liquid, usually go for pencil or a matte black eyeshadow for eyeliner purposes. I have used gel and it is great for a more intense look.

17. Lipstick, lipgloss or chapstick?
OooOoo, ALL!? If I had to pick one, I would say lipgloss.

18. Pigments, pressed or cream eyeshadow?
Pressed first, pigments second (messy but beautiful!), and cream last.

19. If you had to wear only one thing, excluding foundation; what would it be?
I would have to say mascara for me! I think lashes always add that special touch to a womans face! Bronzer or blush would be my second choice.

20. Favorite color?
PEACH!

21. Favorite color combination?
Color combination could mean all kinds of things! If we are just talking about in general, I would have to say white and darker neutrals- love the color contrasts and earthy feel of the two mixed.

22. Natural? or Dramatic? (Eye Makeup)

Natural but I love a good "dramatic" smokey eye!

23. Do you care more for quality or name brand?
Of course quality!

24. Do you enjoy using face masks? If so which ones
I do, however I haven't tried too many. When I do, it is usually a sample so I cannot answer this one accurately.

25. What is your current addiction? (example: lipsticks, eyeshadows, earrings..)
Everything! :] I would say I am trying to play around more with eyeshadows, as I don't have too many good ones. Will forever be a blush/bronzer/highlight junkie! I recently really got into lipsticks too but I have been on that addiction longer than the shadows. Also just getting into the "nail world" and adore everything Vintage!
