The Beauty Quiz! Part 1

Are you a beauty expert?

I’m a qualified makeup artist and skincare specialist. I’ve worked for Clarins, Dior, Lauder to name a few and also in some of the most well known photography studios in the North West. I wouldn’t call myself an “expert”. More like well informed , but always learning something new.

Are you obsessed with makeup?

The simple answer is a BIG FAT YES. I own more in my personal collection than I can physically use in a week let alone a day.

Do you have your own sense of style?

I like to think so. I’m really inspired by the 50’s look, full circle skirts, corsets etc..real old Hollywood glamour really appeals to me. I have a classic hourglass figure , big bust, tiny waist, hips and a decent bum so that style really suits me I think.

I have days when I throw on my sweats and just face the day. Other days I’m quite classic in my style – jeans, pumps, plain vest or tee, cardy and a scarf etc…and other days I’ll go all out.

Do you take good care of your hair?

Yes in that I have never dyed it, never had a perm or chemical treatment etc…the colour I am is my virgin colour so to speak.

No in that I don’t get it cut as often as I should. I flit between a long layered look and then I get bored and go for a fringe with shorter choppy layers….i feel a fringe coming on again soon.

Am I ugly? Are you comfortable in your appearance?

I have ugly days. I have fat days. I have days when I want to cry because I cant find anything to fit in the shops. I have days when I wish I could get rid of my large bust because it drives me mad.

I think the honest answer to this question is probably no, I’m not that comfortable in terms of my body shape etc. I sometimes feel like this is the reason I’m single but hey ho..such is life.

Are you a fashionista?

Hmmm…probably not no. I don’t collect clothes and I go out of my way to avoid trends because I don’t like to go out and see everyone in the same thing as me.

I’m more a shoeanista…shoes always fit and I have lots!

What does your starsign say about your fashion sense? (hang on while I look it up…..www.astrostyle.com)

Color: Black – ok I’ll go with this one, I wear black a lot and its probably my staple for things like vests, tees etc…
Fabric: leather – I don’t own any leather but I like it.
Focus Area: Crotch – erm?????
Style Equipment: leather jacket, black T-shirt, push-up bra, fishnet stockings, hair dye, tattoos, piercings (hidden and revealed), silk boxers – I laughed outloud at the pushup bra, fishnets and silk boxers bit!   I don’t need a pushup bra, they are big enough! I have REAL silk stockings, I don’t need cheap fishnets! And any man that wears silk boxers is no man of mine!
Rock it Out: tight clothes, leather – again ermm???
Put it back on the Rack: loose and baggy clothes, unsexy cuts – sometimes I like comfy!

Do you look older than your age?

I don’t think so, no. I’m 28 and have been told by different people I look 25 and also 30. I guess I actually look my age then!

Are you obsessed with your looks?

No. If I was I wouldn’t pop out to the shops with no makeup on and just in sweats.

Are you an accessories person?

I like accessories I just don’t wear then enough. I wear a scarf every single day. They are kind of my “thing”.

Are you photogenic?

I have no clue! I have a standard pose in most pictures so I’ve been told. I don’t mind having my pic taken, so I guess I must be?

Can you become a supermodel?

Hmmmm…I’m 5 foot 6 ish, size 18, have H cup boobs and I like to eat…..so no.

Do you care for your nails?

I have acrylic nails so yes and no.

Are you a cosmetics junkie?

Without doubt, YES!  I love getting new things to play with and I have a huuuge wish list!

You rule fashion or fashion rules you?

I don’t follow trends, so I suppose I rue fashion? I wear what Is right for me and my shape. There are things I would never dream of wearing that EVERYONE seems to wear (which makes me want to wear them even less)

I refuse to walk down the street going “baaaaa” because I’ve become a sheep.

Are you a prisoner of fashion?

I think the above answered that one!

How well groomed are you?

Very I think. I get my nails done, I get various places waxed and  I’m obsessed with smelling nice!

Are you ageing gracefully?

I like to think so but I was once told that you should slide into your coffin sideways with a glass of wine in hand screaming “woohoo what a ride!” so I think maybe I’l l do that.

One makeup item you cant live without?

Concealer. No, lipstick! No, blusher…erm….can I have it all please??
