10 Beauty Confessions

25th July 2015

I’m writing this so you can all feel better about yourselves, and totally superior to me because I am clearly a MESS.

You’re welcome.

1. I only wash my brushes like every two weeks, sometimes three. I know, I’m disgusting.

 

2. I go to bed with my makeup on at least twice a week.

 

3. I use face wipes. I KNOW. But it’s easier to use a wipe quickly first, then use a proper makeup remove and cleanser. It feels even cleaner…

 

4. I only tidy my makeup area/bag if I need photographs.

 

5. I have no patience for my nails, even though I love having them painted. So I just slap the polish on and have smudges everywhere. Oh well.

 

6. I only use lip liner every once in a blue moon.

 

7. I just don’t really care about mascara. I buy whatever one appeals to me at the moment, and where it because I have to. But my eyelashes are boring and short and nothing ever changes that.

 

8. I bite my nails often. No perfect nails around here..

 

9. As you all know, I love to change my hair. But this means I bleach it often and I ruin my hair regularly. But I’m addicted, oh dear.

 

10. I’m crap at blending eyeshadows, which is a real shame as I have hooded eyelids and boy I could really do with some skills in that area.

Now, you guys; Confess!

  1. GIRL, I FEEL YA. I have insanely hooded lids (plus, my eyes are ASIAN) and I so need help in the eyeshadow department or eye makeup department for that matter! IT's okay, I wash my brushes irregularly and lol what even is lip liner and mascara?

  4. Firstly – your makeup always looks great, so I wouldn't worry too much about these habits! I am awful with washing my brushes…I can probably count on one hand how many times I've washed them, ever. Gross. I don't own a lip liner, I use face wipes (I've just ran out and am going to try to just not buy them again…for a while). I definitely have those nights where you roll into bed with your full face still on! None of us are perfect I guess ? x

  5. Honestly, I often "forget" to clean my brushes (I know it's horrible!!) but I think it's okay because I only use them for eyeshadow and I apply my foundation with my (clean) hands because I find that it blends more easily with my skin instead of using a foundation or a stippling brush.

    What a fun post to read! 🙂

  11. I wish I could blend better too! I like to think I do an ok job BUT I gravitate towards shades that are so similar in colour that if I get it wrong/don't blend properly, well, you'd hardly be able to notice! And eyeliner – hate it, can't do it, makes me look like some reincarnated demented Egyptian!

  12. Hahaha Jemma! Great post! One that almost everybody can relate to certainly. 🙂
    I don't feel that I have too many bad habits at the moment, but I used to be worse. I used to always use a face wipe, but now I have developed a cleanse, tone, moisturise routine which isn't as time consuming as you'd think! I never do my nails and when I do they get chipped so easily! I barely use remover too so i always have tiny chunks of colour on my nails.

  13. I've never washed a makeup brush in my life. I rarely use them anyway, and put makeup on like, once every three months? Every six months? That's my current average. Six on my own, three with someone else doing my makeup for a modeling gig.

    I have to take my makeup off as soon as I get home, so I never go to bed with it. But I use wipes too (used a cleanser for a bit in London, PR thing) and I'm not going to invest in cleansers when I use them that little. It was nice while it lasted though.

  20. Another one who rarely washes brushes and I've never even owned a lip liner! I also still wear make up that I bought years ago which is probably not good for me but never mind!

    Great post Jemma! Xx

  27. Oh, don't! I don't even have makeup brushes (yes, I've already failed!) and it's best not to get started on my nails. I'm so bad at them that I HAVE to get someone else do it for me. As for face wipes, I have to use them. Once I've got rid of the nasty skin, a face wipe leaves my face so clean before I start removing the rest of my makeup with a remover. Though I always forget the mascara…gotta love the Panda look! 😉 xxx

  34. I always use face wipes first, then cleanse properly. I feel like that's okay?! (Please ??)

    And I'm really bad for waiting ages to clean my brushes. I genuinely once bought new ones to avoid spending ages cleaning my old ones, they'd got that gross. Don't even care! xo
