FMM: Makeup Favorites

Here's how this works.  The fabulous Kenlie blogs at www.alltheweigh.com and posts weekly questions for participating bloggers to answer.  The idea is to connect with other bloggers and share answers to a series of questions. If you've never done FMM, and today's the day to try, be sure to link back up to Kenlie's page to meet the other bloggers participating.  Here's this week's topic!

FMM: Makeup Favorites

1.  Do you wear makeup everyday? 

I wear it every day when I get ready for the day.  If I am just going to the gym, I slick on a little gloss and that's it.  And, the folks at Target have seen me without makeup WAY TOO MANY a few times as well when I'm just running a fast errand. 

2.  Does your routine change if you’re going out with friends/on a date/to a party? 

I definitely kick it up a little bit more if I'm going out for fun than I would on an average work day. 

3.  Are you loyal to one brand, or do you use different brands for different things? 

I definitely mix it up.  Lancome for mascara and eyeliner, Bare Escentuals for foundation/shadow/blush/gloss, L'Oreal for lipstick. 

4.  Do you wear primer/concealer? If so, what’s your favorite kind?  

Not consistently.  I have Well Rested from Bare Escentuals that I've used a few times, but sometimes it makes me ghostly white underneath.  I need a good concealer, and with one, I would wear it every day.  Eye primer on the other hand, I love!

5. What’s your favorite brand of foundation? 

I'm a Bare Escentuals girl and wear Medium Beige unless I get ridiculously tan in the summer.  I wouldn't mind taking a GREAT beach vacation that required me to go a little darker this year!!

6.  Do you use blush and/or bronzer?  

Both, and I use Bare Escentuals for both as well.  Touch of Sun or Warmth for Bronzer.  Blush is called Tranquil.  So pretty.

7.  Do you wear eye shadow/eye liner?  

I wear an eye primer that I think is critical.  It's by Bare Escentuals and called "Prime Time".  I also use their Snow shadow and Moss shadow daily + Lancome's Liquid Art Liner.

8.  What’s your favorite kind of mascara?  

Lancome's Black Carat Virtuose and Definicils - - I choose whichever I find first in my makeup bag.

9.  Lipstick? Lip gloss? Both? Favorite? 
I actually wear a combination of two colors of lipstick.  The first is a discontinued color of L'Oreal lipstick + Bare Escentuals Creampuff on top.  I also use Bare Escentuals gloss on top, and throughout the day.

10.  Do you wear nail polish regularly?  If so, share a few of your favorite brands/colors.  
I'm obsessed with Essie colors lately:  Smokin' Hot is a fave right now, as is Jazz for summer.  I also have a warm spot in my heart for You Don't Know Jacques by OPI.  LOVE.

 11. How do you remove your makeup at the end of the day?  
I plead the 5th. No judgment! 

12.  Do you feel prettier when you’re wearing makeup?  
Yes, yes.  Have you seen me without?? 

13.  Do you have any beauty tips that you could pass along?  
Eye Primer... Seriously, try it.  It changed the way I feel about eye shadow completely.
