Frequently Asked Questions

I often get asked the same questions over and over. I love answering your questions, but my fingers get tired! :) They're very random, but like I said, these are my most frequently asked! A section for my most frequently asked beauty/makeup-related questions is also included at the bottom.

Q's about me:

1. What type of camera do you use?
Since the very first video, I've always used my trusty Sony Cybershot DSC-W120. For a little simple point-and-shoot camera, it does a great job! (It's pink, so I think that makes a difference!) I'm going to be purchasing a new one soon. I really need a new one with a little better quality and with an LCD screen that flips around so I can see what the heck I'm doing! :)

2. Where did you get your training/what makeup school did you go to?
I'm totally self-taught. Lots of practice and a love for makeup. I'm really not familar with any makeup schools or training programs to recommend either. I do attend MAC Master classes/seminars when I can though!

3. I'm thinking about starting my own YT beauty channel. Advice?
Make the videos you want to make and don't be influenced by others or negativity. Share what you know, what you like, and focus on your viewers, no matter how few or many you have. Stay positive, have fun, and don't pay any attention to anything negative others have to say. It's so fun and rewarding!

4. How did your channel grow so fast?
I have NO idea! I've just always had fun and enjoyed myself. I never set out to make videos for the purpose of having a popular channel. I just genuinely like sharing what I know with you guys and it's awesome that people actually like what I'm doing! I'm overwhelmed by the amount of people that watch and how nice everyone has been.

5. Why do you make videos in a closet??
Oh this is probably THE MOST asked question in some form or another. We have a large walk-in closet and my vanity table is in there. :)

6. What program do you use to edit your videos?
I use Windows Movie Maker. It's super easy, and comes standard on pretty much every pc I believe.

7. Are your eye lashes naturally long? Do you get lash extensions or use any kind of special product? I know you're wearing false lashes in (random video)...why did you say you weren't?
I've been getting this since I was little!! Honestly, you guys know that if I'm wearing false lashes in a video, I always tell you. I've never tried any type of lash extensions nor have I ever used any "magic" lash growth product. I do put Vaseline on them at night sometimes, but not often. I got lucky with my genes I guess! :)


Beauty/Makeup Related Q's:
1. 88 palettes...Original (matte/satin) or Shimmer?
Oh I cannot tell you how many times this question has been asked! My personal preference is the Original (matte/satin). Just because I feel it's most versatile. It has both matte and satin colors (which have a bit of a sheen), so you can create more looks with it. Whereas with the Shimmer, it's JUST shimmer. Both are great together, but I'd recommend getting the Original first.

2. What is a Beauty Powder? Whats the difference in that and Beauty Powder Blushes?
Beauty Powders are much more sheer than the BPB's. The colors are usually lighter and softer-toned and can be worn a variety of ways. You can use them as an all over glow to lightly set makeup, or you can concentrate the color on your cheeks as a blush. They really don't seem to be that pigmented when swatched, but they're really not supposed to be. Think of them as a product that adds a sheer glow or different tone to the face. To slightly make your complexion appear healthier. They are the size of the bronzing powders or pressed face powders.
Beauty Powder Blushes are actual powder blushes that are very pigmented and have a slight sheen or satin finish to them.

3. How do you remove your makeup?
I love using a makeup remover wipe to remove everything. That way I can use one thing for my whole face - eyes and all. My personal favorites are the MAC Wipes. However, Neutrogena makes some good ones as well. After removing makeup, you can then wash your face with the facial cleanser you prefer. Don't throw away the wipe just yet - if you find you have any leftover mascara or liner under your eyes after you rinse your face, you can go back over those areas with the wipe.
