Beauty Diary

Eliza of Makeup Junkie just posted this tag, and I thought it was really fun. Here are my answers!

1. What time did you do your makeup today? 1 p.m. I didn't decide to go out until late in the day. It is raining here!

2. What’s the least expensive beauty item you used? Rimmel mascara. It is in the purple tube. Not sure what the name of it is. It was about $7.49 and came with free eyeliner.

3. What was the biggest problem you needed to correct? Dark circles under my eyes. This is a pretty common problem for me, so I have it down to an art.

4. Did you apply false eyelashes? No. I rarely do this for everyday wear.

5. Did you do anything while applying make-up? Took photos of some new makeup for a review post.

6. Biggest make-up mishap today? Discovering that my new mascara doesn't have a lot of staying power.

7. Did you have a makeup inspiration in mind? I wanted something pretty neutral and light.

8. What was the most time-consuming part of your makeup routine? Eyes. I usually have to stop and fix mistakes or add more.

9. What part of your routine is the most fun? Lipstick and mascara. It really wakes my face up!

10. What part of your make-up makes the biggest difference in the way you look? Concealer under my eyes and around my nose and mascara.

11. Neutral or colorful eyeshadow? More often than not, it is neutral.

12. Liquid or mineral foundation? If I use foundation, I use mineral. I feel like I get a more natural look with it, and it is better for my skin. I've used BE and Maybelline. 

13. Do you do your hair or make-up first? Hair. I like to get it out of the way, since it takes more time.

14. Did you pack a make-up bag to take with you for the day? Yes. I took powder, eye drops, lipstick, and my teeny tiny makeup kit.

15. When did you finish your make-up? 1:15 p.m. Low maintenance, baby!
