This Or That Beauty Tag

I’ve seen this fun This or That beauty tag floating around the blogosphere lately and thought it would be fun to do.

Blush or Bronzer?

I am definitely a bigger fan of bronzer than blush. I can go without wearing blusher but never bronzer.

Lipgloss or Lipstick?

I am definitely a lipstick girl. I feel like lipsticks last a lot longer and I prefer a more matte look than shiny lip glosses. My favourite at the moment is an Elf lipstick in Charming it’s a brilliant shade for the Autumn.

Chapstick or Lip butter?

I don’t mind either, it all depends on how dry my lips are. If they’re in need of a lot of hydration I will use my Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Lip balm and if they’re in okay condition I will use my EOS lip balm in sweet mint.

Matt or sparkle eye shadow?

Both! I love having a shimmer eyeshadow all along my lid and then a matte shade in my crease.

Pressed or loose shadows?

I much prefer pressed eyeshadow, I feel they last longer and don’t cause as much fall out.

Gel, liquid, cream or pencil eye liner?

Definitely liquid! I don’t get along with gel eyeliner at all and pencil to me looks too messy. A smooth line of liquid eyeliner by the lash line just pulls and eye look together in my opinion.

Foundation or concealer?

Hmmmm…If I could only choose one I think I’d pick a specific concealer, the Mac Pro Longwear. It has amazing coverage and could be used as a foundation too.

Liquid or powder foundation?

Having skin that’s on the dryer side, me and powder foundations don’t get along so it’s definitely going to be liquid.

Neutral or statement eye?

I pretty much always go for a neutral eye look using gold’s, creams and browns in my Naked palettes. I do enjoy going for a statement eye occasionally though and you can check out my green smokey eye look here.

Waterproof or non waterproof mascara?

Waterproof mascara! When I’m not using waterproof I suffer with terrible smudges under my eyes.

Brushes, Sponges or fingers?

Brushes all the way! I find using fingers to be really unhygienic and I get a more flawless look when using my favourite Real Techniques brushes.

Powder, cream or liquid highlighters?

I am in love with the highlighter in the Sleek Contour Kit so I’m going to say powder highlighters. I feel like they’re much easier and quicker to use.
