30 Day Makeup Challenge - Day 3/30 & 4/30

I totally forgot to post the third day question for my 30 day makeup challenge yesterday, so I'm doing it today instead...

Day 3 : Favorite Brand

I've been using NYX products for the longest time ever. Since I started my love affair with makeup, NYX has always been one of those makeup brands that I've sworn by. I use it on myself and on my clients. They offer great quality products at affordable prices. I always find myself coming back to NYX products at the end of the day...

Day 4 : Do you like wearing foundation? If so, what's your color & favorite?

I like wearing foundation on special occasions. I also have a ton of favorites but this product is the one I use the most among my stash of "favorites". It's the Shu Uemura Face Architect Smoothing Fluid Foundation and I'm in the color Medium Beige 745 (warm undertone). On me, this leaves a semi-matte finish.

Question for today :

How did you learn to put on makeup?

My affair with makeup all started with YouTube videos. Everything that I know now is through YouTube. I learned how to take care of my skin, apply primer, apply different types of foundation, eyeshadows, blush, lip products and everything makeup related on YouTube. I even learned about which products would most likely fit my skin type, tone, personality & lifestyle on YouTube.
Some of my favorite YouTube Gurus are: Michelle Phan Promise Phan Andrea's Choice Shaaanxo Jessica Harlow Dulce Candy 87
And so many more...

30 Day Makeup Challenge - Day 1/30

The past few days have been a bit stagnant for my blog. I've been busy with so many things outside my "online life" that I'm finding it increasingly difficult to update often... So when I saw Katleya of Eyahnism posting this makeup challenge, I decided to do it as well... I'm starting today!

The question for the first day is : When did you start putting on makeup?

My introduction to makeup took place a couple of years ago when I was still in high school. During my sophomore year, I started using Johnson's pressed powder in natural and random lipglosses that my mum would give me. I never really cared about using more products back then. In my junior year, I discovered eyeliner and mascara. I went through that awkward stage in my makeup life where in I piled on the eyeliner and mascara and left the rest of my face so pale and bare. Some called it the "emo" look, but don't quote me. I hate branding people anyway...

In college I added a touch of blush to my routine but it was when I turned 18 that I really took a serious interest in makeup. After my debut, I decided to search more into makeup brands and makeup products suitable for my skin type, tone, personality and lifestyle and thus my romance with makeup started...

Now I'm totally in love with makeup! But take note, I don't wear makeup everyday... *lol*
