1. Do you remember your first makeup item?
Not quite. I have some odd memories of my mom’s makeup, her applying gold eyeliner on me and eating red lipstick. But as far as my first makeup item I can tell you that it took me a good while to get into makeup which is weird for someone who is obsessed nowadays. I know what my first few items were, concealer and blush. While I was buying blush I got sold into buy a glittery pink gloss which to me at the time was so cute. The blush was also really pretty packaged and it was a golden peach color that I loved. Later I got obsessed with concealers because I have dramatic undereye circles.
