A Very Nosey Beauty Tag

Hello Lovely People

So we have been tagged by the beautiful Aisling at http://rosysmiles.blogspot.co.uk to do this beauty Q&A post. Even though we are sisters, you will see that we are similar AND very different! Here goes...

Would you rather lose all of your mascaras, eyeliners and lip products or lose all of your palettes and eye shadows?

Char: Palettes and eye shadows - I look like a bit of an alien without mascara!

Kate: Ditto!

Would you rather chop off all your hair or never be able to cut it again?

Char: Never be able to cut it again! – I chopped off all my hair a couple of years ago and it's been such a long and frustrating process growing it back to a length I'm happy with.

Kate: I would chop it all off and then let it grow back. So would you rather have dry straggly ends forever?

Char: Are you saying I have dry straggly ends?!

Kate: Haha

If you had £500, would you spend this on clothes or makeup?

Char: Can't we do 50/50?! No? Ok, if I was forced to chose I would go for clothes. No, makeup. No, clothes. Definitely clothes. That's hard!

Kate: I would say clothes 100%! I wanted you to say make up so I could borrow yours!

Would you rather only use one eyeshadow colour or one lip colour for the rest of your life?

Char: Probably a lip colour, I like a nice bright lip.

Kate: Definitely lip colour. I like to change my lip colours regularly.

Bright nails or nude nails all year round?

Char: Nude! Goes with everything all year!

Kate: hmmmmmm. Probably agree with you Char.

Would you rather never be able to use lipgloss or paint your nails again?

Char: I would rather never be able to use lipgloss. My nails look rubbish without a polish!

Kate: aagghh – I don’t know. My lips looks rubbish without colour! But my nails probably look worse – so I would rather go without lipgloss.

Describe your perfect mascara. Have you found one?

Char: Max Factor False Lash Effect. It makes my lashes nice and long without the clump!

Kate: Same - Char copied me on this one!

Char: I think you bought me one for a Christmas present one year, so you did introduce me! Thanks for that!

What's your ideal coverage foundation?

Char: I like a full coverage because I struggle with blemishes :(

Kate: Medium. I can’t stand having too much on, it makes me feel like rubbing it all off if I have it too heavy.

Favourite high street/drugstore beauty brand?

Char: Probably No.7

Kate: Rimmel

Favourite high end beauty brand?

Char: Clinique (I owe so much to Clinique for helping with my bad skin)

Kate: Clinique. I use the cleanser and clarifying lotion when I have bad break outs. It’s so good!

Is there any makeup you can't leave the house without wearing?

Char: Concealer - I'm so self conscious of my skin I at least have to have a bit of concealer on my blemishes.

Kate: Concealer/highlighter for my dark under eye circles.

What is your most cherished beauty product?

Char: Clinique Clarifying Lotion

Kate: Argon Oil leave in conditioning spray. Looks after my locks. Char and I stocked up on this today!

Char: 99p, Home bargains!

What skin type do you have?

Char: Rubbish. Ha. Normal but prone to breakouts.

Kate: Normal. Charlotte, your skin is beautiful.

Do you always use the same skin routine or do you like switching it up?

Char: As I have to be careful with my skin I usually stick to what I know and trust!

Kate: I am boring with my skin routine, cleanse, tone, moisturise. I’m not loyal to brands although I do love Clinique.

Top 5 Beauty Gurus?

Pixiwoos!

Lo Bosworth (previously of The Hills)

Nicole Guerriero

Liza Prideaux

Charlotte Tilbury

If you could only buy one makeup brand forever which would you buy?

Char: No7 - they have everything I need at reasonable prices!

Kate: Clinique.

Which brand has your favourite packaging?

Char: Benefit or Soap and Glory - love the quirkiness!

Kate: I think there are too many copycats of Benefit and Soap and Glory now, although I do like their packaging. I like Clinique (Clinique obsessed today) as it’s simple. It doesn’t try to be anything other than it is, if that makes any sense whatsoever. I don’t like a show off!!

Which do you apply first, concealer or foundation?

Char: Foundation and top up with concealer if some bits need extra attention!

Kate: Same as Char.

Name a makeup crime you hate.

Char: Getting foundation colour SERIOUSLY wrong.

Kate: Too much of everything - Eugh!

Quick Fire:

Blush or bronzer?

Char: Bronzer

Kate: Blush

Lipgloss or lipstick?

Char: Lipgloss

Kate: Lipstick

Foundation or concealer?

Char: Foundation

Kate: Concealer

Brushes or sponges?

Char: Brushes

Kate: Sponge (Real Techniques)

OPI or Essie?

Char: OPI

Kate: OPI

Lotion or Body Butter?

Char: Lotion

Kate: Lotion
