Has anyone come to you for makeup advice? What for? What did you tell them?
My "real life" friends have come to be for advice on long-wearing foundations, shade matching, and how to wear red lipstick. For long-wearing foundation, I say it's about layering and application as much as it is about the...
How has makeup affected how you see yourself? Share!
Initially, it made me feel pretty for the first time in probably ten years, but then at the same time, almost uglier if I wasn't wearing it. After a couple of years, it changed to makeup helped me look my best, but it was other things that made me...
Do you rely on SPF in foundation? If not, do you care if SPF is in your foundation?
I definitely don't rely on it, and I really don't care if it is in my foundation--I'd prefer it not to be, I suppose. I rely on my moisturizer with SPF in it!
Thanks to Amy for today's question! Do you have a question...
Have you ever attempted to create or "franken" cosmetics? If so, what? Will you give it a shot?
Closest I've ever come would be to add gloss over eyeshadow for a glossy eyeshadow or mixing two colors to get something else. Â I've never taken raw materials and tried to come up with something on my own,...
Has your age affected what kinds of makeup looks or products you wear? If so, how? If not, do you think it ever will?
I don't find neutrals boring, which I did when I just started getting into makeup (at 18), and I'm much more comfortable in my own skin, so I don't have to have a full face of makeup...

If beauty blogging counts as a career in beauty/cosmetics, then definitely! :)

How do you apply your mascara? What's your technique?
I wiggle at the base and then brush upwards, then go to the other eye and repeat, and then go back to the initial eye. Then I get another pull of mascara and go to the second eye, then I do the lower lashes for both!
Thanks to Stacey for today's...
What order do you apply your makeup in? Share!
If I'm priming the face, I prime first, then I work on the eyes. I like to do eyes first, so I can clean-up any fall out without worrying about foundation. After the eyes, then I apply foundation, concealer (if I use it), contour (if do it), blush,...
Do you ever notice the makeup strangers are wearing? Do you ever guess to yourself what products they might be?
All the time! 1.) I try to compliment someone every day, and if I can, a stranger. 2.) I always get excited if someone is visibly wearing makeup! I never see it in "real life."
Thanks to...
What was the hardest thing for you to learn how to do when you first started wearing makeup? Share!
False eyelashes, and I still suck at it, LOL. I suppose you could say that I've yet to learn!
