Makeup: Uses, application

1.What kind of makeup do you use every day? Please list all items, and specify brands, and whether they are miniatures or full-sized. (Feel free to list it all!)
I generally use just MAC lipglasses for everyday; Pink Grapefruit, Poetic Licence, Damzel, Flash of Flesh, Pink Clash, Tartlette. I may use MAC Dervish or Lure l/l, depending on how I feel.
I've recently started to use MAC select moisturecover concealor in NW20 when I feel like my eye area could do with illuminating.
Also love Bobbi Brown lip tint in Blossom with SPF 15. Great for dry lips, great for housewear!


2.How much time on average per day do you spend applying makeup (in minutes, please specify AM, PM and touch-ups separately)?
Gosh, 5-15 minutes? I might redo my lip colour but rarely so in public.

3.For how long have you had these products? Do you keep track of how long you’ve had makeup for? The bulk of my collection would not be any older than 3 yrs. Most of it is 2 yrs old. I don't really keep track of how old things are but store them very carefully in dry, cool, dark places.

4.How do you store your cosmetics with you when going out/travelling? What items do you take with you every day? I have a little rubberised pencil case I put 'emergency' things in (sanitary products, lip balms, spare medication, even travel toothbrush!). Generally speaking, the lip colour (and liner) will be in the small pocket of my bag, upright if possible. I never take lipsticks out on very hot days. Don't have any in glove compartments, except for lip balm in pot.

5.Applying makeup in public: Yay or Nay? Why? No, I don't do it. Occasionally, lip colour but rarely so even then. In fact, been doing this more recently. Not even in the public facilities. Makes me feel vain (which I am, bothering to wear anything at all! lol). I might check to make sure things aren't dripping/streaking/smudged etc.

6.How do you apply your makeup? Please list all tools used (eg. Fingers, brushes, sponges…and also specify for what items)
Brushes, cotton rounds, cotton-tipped buds, and only ever clean fingers if I'm at home. I have MAC and UD brushes predominantly. UD blender & liner brushes. MAC #242 & 194, 192. Sephora retractable lip brush.

I mention it below, but at my blog, I sometimes list down cosmetic/beauty products I use, see Pages under 'listmania' (link in signature down below)

parts 2 & 3 coming soon!
