Make Up Mayhem : 30 Beauty Questions TAG!

Do you remember your first makeup item?

I remember the first item I bought which was clear mascara by Essence. But I'd say my first item came from my mothers makeup bag! I loved the clear mascara like I thought I was deadly. Without it adding darkness, obviously, my lashes just looked lifted and curled and I thought people would be so jel of my 'natural' lashes hahah!

Describe your perfect mascara?

Don't we all want the same? Length, volume and curl? Well I need all three and I honestly don't think such thing exists. I find you have to use different types and brands of mascara to get what you want. I love NYC mascaras and I also love Lancome hypnosis mascara doll eyes! I find it gives me everything I want once layered with other mascaras.

What kind of coverage do you prefer from foundation?

Full coverage. Always. It's all or noting with me when it comes to makeup. I just feel like I need everything on my face covered and gone. I really do wish I could wear a light coverage and let some freckles come through but I just can't bring myself to do it. I love a flawless matter finish.
