The other day I was scrolling through my youtube subscriptions and came across something I haven't seen in a while, a tag..and a beauty tag at that! I don't know what happened to beauty tags but in a time where cutting through things with a hot knife is trendy on youtube I really miss good old fashioned tag videos/posts. Gracie Saunderson has created this Ultimate Beauty Tag and I really wanted to give it a go as her answers were really interesting.
1. When did you get into makeup and why? I was about 14/15 when I started to wear makeup and to be honest it was mostly because everyone else was so I felt I should, I feel so stupid admitting that, especially as I didn't really need it at this time and most of the time I would put it on for school in my first lesson sneakily, between lessons or at break which was just ridiculous. This was in the days of dream matte mousse so I'm sure it didn't even look good, thankfully selfies weren't really a thing back then. I was about 17/18 when I got into makeup properly, taking an interest in different brands.
2. Most repurchased product? I don't really repurchase products often as I'm always looking for new things, I have bought several of the W7 power puffs (their answer to the beauty blender) as well as the Seche Vite Top Coat but I don't buy them or use them anymore.
3. Product you'd never repurchase? I could say anything not cruelty free but I feel like that's cheating, I haven't bought anything in a while that I've hated because I tend to research products before I buy them but I'd say the Urban Decay Perversion mascara, the actual mascara was nice but I found the brush was too big and messy for my eyes, also the Jeffree Star liquid lipsticks in general as I've had two and find the formula to be more difficult to work with than other brands.
4. Best dupe product? I think the Makeup Geek eyeshadows make a really good alternative to mac eyeshadows, they are cheaper and cruelty free and I honestly think that the formula and pigmentation are better. I'm hoping to do a post on my palette with these shadows at some point as well.
5. Have you ever bought fake makeup? No and I never would, that's one of my biggest depop hates is seeing people selling fakes, they can be so dangerous it really isn't worth the risk!
6. Current favourite makeup brand? Definitely Urban Decay though Too Faced is second at the moment, I love shopping at my local Urban Decay stand and their new releases are so exciting lately! As for Too Faced I've found myself more and more interested in them recently despite not really bothering before.
7. What is one beauty hack you know and do? I don't really use any hacks, though I've learnt to spray my setting spray before doing my mascara to stop it smudging, slightly annoyed it took me so long to work out to do it that way but it saves me so much hassle.
8. Do you have any beauty regrets? Like I mentioned before it's probably just wearing it when I didn't need to when I was younger, and also becoming dependent on it to the point where it's only been recently that I've been able to leave the house, even just to the shops, without any on.
9. What's one product or brand you'd like to try? One product that's been on my wishlist for the longest time is the Charlotte Tilbury Dolce Vita Palette. I'd really like to try Colour Pop as a brand as well as their lip products look really pretty but I'm not sure how easy they are to get in the UK.
10. What do you use to remove your makeup? At the moment I'm using the Pixi Caroline Hirons Double Cleanse which is really good, it's super easy to use and makes my skin feel really nice, sometimes I wish I had makeup wipes in if I'm tired and can't be bothered but it doesn't actually take long to get your makeup off so that's just me being silly.
I'm sorry for the random pictures but in all honesty I've been so busy with work and we just got a new kitten so I completely blanked on taking photos for this post, oops. Shout out to instagram for saving me at the last moment- #makeupquotes to the rescue!
Thankyou for reading, I hope this was interesting and not just me babbling on, Gracie's video of her tag is here if you want to see the original, I really hope tags make a come back!
