10. What do you think about the beauty community on Youtube?
1. Roshelle: I wore makeup only on occasions when I was young (although I didn't know how to apply it or anything!) but I started experimenting with makeup myself when I was 13.
Alyssa: Ever since I was a little girl I have always been intrigued by makeup. My mom would sometimes let me use her lipstick or apply some eyeshadow on me when I was younger but I didn't start wearing makeup till I was 13/14. I did wear maybe some eyeshadow or mascara a few times for special occasions before that but, when I was 14 that's when I really started experimenting!
2. Roshelle: I don't remember exactly how I got into makeup but I loved wearing lip gloss (I thought it made me look like the prettiest girl alive!) All I remember was seeing older people wear it, and people on tv wearing it. I always thought wearing makeup meant caking your face, but when I saw that makeup could make me look enhanced whilst still looking natural, I fell in love with it!
Alyssa: I am super close to my family. I'm always with them and since I have a bunch of girl cousins that are older than me, I would always watch them apply their makeup. I love watching them do their makeup even to this day, so I definitely got into makeup because of them. It's so fascinating! A ton of my friends also played a part in me getting into makeup!
3. Roshelle: Some of my favourite brands include Nars, L'oreal, Maybelline, Too faced, and Mac.
Alyssa: MAC, Benefit, Tarte, Urban Decay, Maybelline, Revlon and Loreal are a bunch of my favourite brands!
4. Roshelle: I don't understand why people hate when girls wear makeup! If it makes you beautiful, you have every right to do what makes you happy! It's all about feeling comfortable in your own skin, and enhancing your already beautiful features. Makeup is an art, and every single person that wears makeup has their own way of personalizing it!
Alyssa: Makeup means a lot to me and is one of the most important things in my life! Despite how other girls feel about it and would criticize me for saying that, it is something I can't live without. There's just so much to love about it and honestly my love for makeup increases everyday. It makes me feel happy and confident and it's a way for me to express myself.
5. Roshelle: I would wear foundation, bronzer, blush and highlighter!
Alyssa: If I could only wear 4 products they would have to be concealer, powder, mascara and eyebrow powder!
6. Roshelle: My favourite thing about makeup is how personal it is, and that there are unlimited looks that can be created. Makeup is all about individuality and self expression and it's a lot of fun to recreate looks and also create your own.
Alyssa: My answer is very similar to Roshelle's! My favourite part about makeup is how you can express yourself in so many different and fun ways! It gives you a chance to be creative and original.
7. Roshelle: There are some great and not so great products on both ends of the spectrum.. however, as beauty bloggers, we are here to help save time & money as we try out products for you so you have a trusted opinion on whether you should splurge and try out a high end product or save some money on go for the drugstore alternative.
Alyssa: It's not really a big deal to me whether a product is drugstore or high end. The important thing is that I really enjoy it! I like the option of both drugstore and high end makeup. I like buying drugstore makeup if I'm on a budget and I like buying high end products to treat myself. Having both makes buying makeup so much easier... you definitely get some variety. But truthfully, I find myself wanting/buying more high end products than drugstore.
8. Roshelle: There are many things I wish I knew when I first started out.. but my number one tip is to do whatever makes you feel beautiful and comfortable! Watch some youtubers, read some blogs on how to do certain things, and remember makeup- like everything new you learn, takes time! And don't fret is your makeup doesn't look exactly like you want it to.. personalize it to the way you would like it!
Alyssa: To all you beginners out there don't be afraid to be yourself and take risks when doing your makeup. It's one of the best ways to express yourself and just keep practicing. Just like Roshelle said, watch videos and read blogs!!
9. Roshelle: I never really understood the whole coloured lip trend.. like blues, oranges, yellows?! It seems super out there, and super bold.. but never would I ever! And also heavy baby doll pink blush... what...?
Alyssa: I totally agree with Roshelle on this one... I will never understand this! Also, I will never understand ombre lips using those colours.
10. Roshelle: I think that the beauty community on Youtube is really cool! So many girls just trying out different products and stylizing it to fit their personality and putting an individual twist on it is what makes it never get old. All the girls seem super down to earth and they do know what they're talking about!
Alyssa: I think the beauty community on Youtube is so wondeful. I admire all those beauty gurus and watch their videos all the time. They make me feel like I want to be a part of the Youtube beauty community! Someday maybe Roshelle and I might start making Youtube videos for you guys haha
