SKINCARE:
How many times do you wash your face daily?
Twice a day (in the morning and before I go to bed).
What skin type do you have?
I have combo skin, but my skin gets pretty dry in the winter.
What is your current facial wash?
Neutrogena.
Do you exfoliate? (What brand do you use?)
I use Clarisonic Sonic Cleansing System, so I feel like an exfoliator in addition would be too harsh for my skin.
What moisturizer do you use?
I'm currently using Tarte Pure Maracuja Oil.
Do you use eye cream?
I'm trying a few different products right now.
Do you or did you have acne prone skin?
Yes.

I have golden olive undertones.
What do you think of fake eyelashes?
I wear them from time to time... usually for photos.
Did you know that you are supposed to change your mascara every 3 months?
Yes, but I don't follow the 3-month rule. When it becomes dry or clumpy and doesn't apply to my eyelashes well, then I throw it out.
What brand of mascara do you use?
I'm currently using Lashem Double Trouble Mascara.
Sephora or MAC?
Hmmm. Tough one! I have spent more money in MAC, but I like the variety of brands, gifts, sales, and promos that Sephora offers.
Do you have a MAC Pro-card?
I wish!
What makeup tools do you use in make up application?
I use a few MAC brushes, Tarte brushes, and some 100% synthetic/vegan brushes (Ultimate, Lumiere, and EDM).
Do you use make-up base/primer for the eyes?
Yes, I normally use UDPP, TFSI, or Tarte Lifted Natural Eye Primer. Sometimes, I'd use MAC Paint Pots, MUFE Aqua Creams, Benefit Creaseless Creams, Tarte Amazonian Clay Waterproof Cream Shadow, Tarte Amazonian Clay Shadow Sticks, Mally Evercolor Cream Shadow Sticks, Maybelline Color Tattoo Shadows, etc.
For the face?
I use Korres Vitamin E Face Primer (Silicone Free/Skin Perfecting/Moisturizing).
What is your favorite eyeshadow (color or shade)?
I love duochromes. As far as formula goes, MAC Mega Metals and MAC Extra Dimension Eyeshadows are my favorites.

Both, but I find myself using pencils more often. I like MAC Pearlglides, MUFE Aqua Eyes, Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencils, etc.
What do you think of pigment eyeshadows?
I love MAC's pigments and Fyrinnae's loose eyeshadows.

Yes.

Benefit Bella Bamba.

Do you go to Cosmetic Company Outlets?
Yes! The nearest CCO/CCS is about an hour away though, so I only go once or twice a year.
Did you ever consider taking make-up classes?
Pro? Yes, but I just don't have time right now.
Do you like colorful shades of makeup (lipstick, eyeshadow) or neutral ones?
It depends on the occasion and my mood, but I usually wear neutral ones for work and a bit of color out of work.

Kim Kardashian.

A lipstick.

Sure, I have.

I can't really name just one. I spend a lot of money on MAC, but I really like Benefit, Inglot, MUFE, Tarte, and Urban Decay too.
