Friend Makin’ Mondays: Makeup Favorites
1. Do you wear makeup everyday? I generally wear makeup every day, but I tend to give my skin a break on the weekends unless we have plans with friends or something else going on. If we’re just hanging out or running errands, no makeup.
2. Does your routine change if you’re going out with friends/on a date/to a party? Sometimes I try to me more playful with my makeup if we’re going to a special event or something fun, but I I often end up hating it and start over and use my normal routine. Yawn.
3. Are you loyal to one brand, or do you use different brands for different things? When I used to make a ton of money, I was a MAC purist, but now I settle for anything I can buy at Target. I tend to think that it’s more important to invetst in your skin care regimine instead of makeup.
4. Do you wear primer/concealer? If so, what’s your favorite kind? I don’t.
5. What’s your favorite brand of foundation? I love MAC, but I currently use Cover Girl crap.
6. Do you use blush and/or bronzer? I have ulta blush and some random bronzer from Target. Nothing exciting.
7. Do you wear eye shadow/eye liner? I still have a ton of eyeshadow from Mac, but it’s all bright party colors from when I used to bartend and go out all the time. Now I still with much more neutrals and either buy Loreal or Revlon.
8. What’s your favorite kind of mascara? I don’t have one. I’m always on the lookout for the best mascara, ever, but I have yet to find it. The closest I ever came was a Chanel mascara.
10. Lipstick? Lip gloss? Both? Favorite? Aquaphor. I can’t stand any kind of lipstick, lipgloss or lip stain. I like clear and natural.
11. Do you wear nail polish regularly? If so, share a few of your favorite brands/colors. Yes! I love nail polish! In the last few months, I’ve become obsessed with Butter London and Deborah Lippman! My sister-in-law got me hooked and now I can’t stop. I got “Marquee Moon” for my birthday and painted my nails last night. Silver with sequins?! Yes, please!
12. How do you remove your makeup at the end of the day? I use Ponds Evening Sooth with Chamomile. They’re super gentle and don’t dry my skin out at all.
13. Do you feel prettier when you’re wearing makeup? Not necessarily. I have a husband who prefers me with little to no makeup, so it doesn’t really make me feel better or worse about myself.
14. Do you have any beauty tips that you could pass along? Invest in your skin care line! I started using Kiehls a few years ago and recommend it to anyone I come in contact with! I’m obsessed with their Rare Earth Deep Pore Clay Foaming Cleanser, Ultra Facial SPF15 Moisturizer, and their Line-Reducing Eye-Brightening Concentrate (filled with tons of vitamin C which helps with fine lines, dark circles and puffiness!).
Another tip I have is to use Aquaphor for everything! Dry lips? Dry elbows? Forget your eye cream? Aquaphor!
