Tag: This or That

Hello my Beauties.
Hope you are doing well. Please do me a favor: stay save and dry during the time of hurricanes, storms and snow falls.  

I found this fun short tag on: http://niicolea.wordpress.com and thought i would participate. 

The tag:

1. Blush or Bronzer?
Most likely Blush! I have to admit, i barely use bronzer. (I have only one bronzer in my collection). But i’m a big blush lover. All the different shades that can make your cheeks glow! 🙂

2. Lipgloss or Lipstick?
Lately i became a lipstick girl. Some years ago i was only using lipgloss, since i was going for a bold eye look. But these days i discovered many awesome lipsticks and now i can’t go without.

3. Chopstick or Lip butter?
I like the highly mosturizing buttery feeling on my lips. So my choice is definitely going to be lip butter.

4. Matte or Sparkle Eyeshadow?
Actually i prefer metallic shadows. I don’t buy any sparkle ones. Usually i combine matte & metallic. Works for a daily eye look as well as for the night out.

5. Gel, Liquid, Cream or Pencil Liner?
Mostly pencil liner on my lower lashline & creaseless cream liner on my top lid.

6. Foundation or Concealer?
I often skip the foundation, but i use concealer most of the time. Especially when my skin feels pretty good (on those days i would only use powder), i only need to cover up a few spots and im almost ready to go.

7. Liquid or Powder Foundation? 
Liquid foundation! Works best for me, as i’m applying it with a wet sponge and working it in for the best result!

8. Neutral or Statement eye? 
As i mentioned before i go for a statement eye most of the times, as i feel with the neutral look i appear more “washed out”.

9. Pressed or Loose shadows? 
I’m not a big fan of loose shadows or pigments, it’s just not my cup of tea. I only use pressed ones.

10. Waterproof or Non Waterproof?
Non waterproof! Waterproof  seems to damage my lashes. I’m not saying, there aren’t good waterproof mascaras out there, but they just aren’t for my taste.

10. Brushes, Sponges or Fingers?
Brushes for my eyes & blush and sponges for applying foundation.

11. Powder, Cream or Liquid Highlighters?
I have a few powder highlighters, but as i don’t use them on the regular basis, it’s not my personal must have. My favorite is the Bronzing & Highlighting face powder duo 10 by Benefit, in case i want to contour my cheekbones in one sexy sweep, i have both ready to use.

If you had fun reading this tag i suggest you doing it as well. It’s great to share your beauty secrets 😉

I would love to tag a few bloggers:
