Opulent Makeup- June 2015

Q: What does makeup mean to you?
A: Makeup means so many things to me. However, what it means most is creative freedom and expression. Makeup allows one to enhance their own natural beauty or turn oneself into a whole other person. It's that freedom that makes me love makeup so much.

Q: When did you start getting into makeup?
A: I have always been interested and intrigued by makeup. Since 2013 I have been watching different makeup videos. However, it wasn't until November 2014, that I decided to start actually practicing and pushing my abilities.

Q: What’s your first ever beauty product?
A: My first ever beauty product was Great Lash Mascara by Maybelline.

Q: What’s your favorite makeup brand and why?
A: It's very hard for me to just pick one brand that is my favorite, however, Urban Decay is a huge part of my life because the quality, colors, variety and blend-ability is always consistent.

Q: Name the one makeup product you cannot live without and why?
A: If I had to choose a product I couldn't live without, it would have to be Duo Lash Glue. Only because I have never found a better cosmetic glue that can be used for lashes, glitter and other embellishments. Variety is the spice of life!

Q: What’s your best beauty tip?
A: My best makeup tip is practice, practice, practice. Along with that, I want everyone to know to never be afraid to put their art out there when they are just starting out, like I was. The best part of practicing makeup is being able to see your improvement progress throughout your photos.

Q: What's the one thing your viewers/followers don''t know about you?
A: The one thing my viewers do not know about me is that I'm currently half way to my degree in elementary education. Although I love makeup, I love seeing the spark go off in the eyes of children learning even more.

Q: Do you have any special/hidden talents?
A: One of my hidden talents is my ability to train hunting pointing and retrieving dogs.

Q: Why/When did you start posting videos/blog?
A: I started posting photos to my blog because I really wanted to push myself out of my comfort zone, show people my work and document my progress over time.

Q: Who’s your biggest beauty inspiration (YouTuber/blogger) and why??
A: I'd have to say my three biggest inspirations in my life come from Pat Mcgrath, Queen of Blending, and Beat Face Honey. All three are amazing in their own ways and produce different aesthetics that I like to incorporate in my looks.
