When I first started blogging, TAG blog posts were the in thing. Everyone used to do them, they used to be all over YouTube as well. I watch the very beautiful Allie Glines and am obsessed with her channel. She posts a really good mix of 'drugstore and high end' as well as other videos such as 'full face of nothing new' and recently the Vogue style 21 questions but a makeup edition. It seemed like fun so I thought I would have a go too!
1. What is the oldest makeup product in your collection?
Any of my MAC lipsticks, these things do not seem to be going down!
2. What is your most recent makeup purchase?
I splurged on a few bits recently: Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Setting Spray, NARS Soft Matte Concealer and Maybelline Sky High Mascara.
3. What is the first makeup product you ever used?
When I first got into makeup I only ever used to use things from Natural Collection. They were a brand in Boots - everything I owned was from them. As well as the Maybelline Great Lash Mascara - remember that one? Pink and green packaging!
4. What is a makeup trend that you used to love but now you hate?
BAKING! I was obsessed with it when it first became a thing but now it makes my skin feel so tight and dry.
5. What is a makeup trend that you used to hate but now you love?
I don't know if you would class it as a trend but lip gloss. I've hated it my whole life, sticky, unappealing and so boring. Fast forward to last year and I'm loving it. Always wearing one or on the look out for a new one.
6. What is your favorite step in your makeup routine?
I love applying foundation. As sad and boring as it sounds, I love the buffing with a brush or the bouncing with a sponge - its so satisfying!
7. What is a makeup product you can’t live without?
Setting Spray - it does not matter what base I have on or what product I am using. Me without setting spray is unheard of.
8. What sparked your love for makeup?
My mum has always loved her makeup. She's always worn a variety of lipsticks and can never leave the house without eyeliner. I think her love for it made me fall in love.
9. What is the worst makeup look you’ve ever done?
Any eye look I ever do is horrible .. I don't think I have any photographs but when I was younger for weddings and events, I would put eyeshadow (blue and purple) all the way up to my brow bone - not a fine moment.
10. What is your favorite makeup look you’ve ever done?
Such an old picture but anytime I come back from holiday I love doing my makeup. The fresh tan and glowy skin just makes me feel so much better.
11. What is your favorite drugstore makeup product?
This is such a hard question to think about as I love so many budget friendly brand. However, one product that I could not live without and have backs up of is the Maybelline Fit Me Powder but the Loose version. I first got this when I went to Hawaii over 3 years ago and haven't used anything since. You can actually buy this on Amazon now!
12. What is your favorite splurge makeup product?
I can't narrow this down to just one because I have a very little collection that is very well loved. I think any luxury foundation (YSL) or lipstick (NARS) has to be my favourite.
13. What is your most repurchased makeup product?
Either the Maybelline Powder as mentioned above or Double Wear - that is my ride or die.
14. What is your earliest makeup memory?
Dance shows! I used to go dancing when I was younger and from about the age of 7 we used to have to wear a small amount of makeup on stage so the lights didn't completely wash us out. It used to be very simple but very shimmering!
15. What is your favorite place to shop for makeup?
At the moment Cult Beauty or Boots. Cult Beauty stocks a lot of different brands and some great offers and Boots are killing the game at the moment.
16. What is the most underrated makeup product you own?
Wet n Wild highlighters, for less than £3 they are bloody beautiful!
17. What is the most overrated makeup product you own?
I don't usually fall for really overrated products, I do a lot of research before buying anything to avoid owning anything that I don't like.
18. What is a discontinued makeup product you wish would come back?
The Loreal Infallible Pro Matte foundation but the original formula. They've changed this over the years and I just hate it!
19. Where do you go for makeup inspiration?
Instagram! Its my one stop shop for everything.
20. What do you hope to see LESS OF in makeup’s future?
I hate how brands are launching things left right and center. Allie mentioned this in her video and I so agree. We need less launches from brands that are constantly bringing things out. Give products time to SHINE.
21. What do you hope to see MORE OF in makeup’s future?
We still need more representation of colour across brands. As a brown girl who loves her makeup, I want to see more people who look like me. I don't just mean online and on instagram but in stores, on adverts, on counters - we need some more diversity!
