Anyway, this week I have some beauty related questions for you, as I obviously am into the topic right now. As a teenager I hardly gave make-up and beauty a thought. Getting ready in the morning was more a hardship than fun. This changed over the recent year and by now I´m growing more and more into it. Dressing up is fun and for me this also includes your face. It´s not about looking super garish and posh all the time, but rather to enhance your look and your features. I personally gravitate towards the more natural style with occasional fake lashes. And here we goooo with the questions:
1.) Who do you consider as beautiful?
2.) What is your favorite product and why?
3.) Did you ever wanted to look like somebody else? If yes: why?
4.) Have you ever been bullied or harassed because of how you look?
5.) When you think a person is way more beautiful than you, how do you react to them?
1.) I like the way Scarlett Johansson looks. She is very female and has a very natural beauty. Scarlett looks amazing, even without make-up on. I think I generally like more curvy women. But I also like Taeyeon from Girls Generation. She has a gorgeous face and her character is so wonderful. She is warm-hearted and kind. I think I can never quite separate character and looks. It both ties together.
2.) Since last year I have a new favorite mascara and it might sound a bit obvious, but it is the Long Mascara by Dolly Wink. I have a tendency to rub my eyes and forget about the fact that I wear mascara at all. Plus I ALWAYS end up having flakes under my eyes by the end of the day. Not so with this darling. It stays on forever, it doesn´t flake at all and it comes off with warm water only. (I do use a little soap though, just so that I get the eyeshadow off too.) I can highly recommend this to everyone who is fed up with running to the bathroom 3 times a day just to check if you´re looking like a panda bear.
3.) This is something that is hard to answer, because it´s not like I want to look like a certain person. Generally I´m veeery happy with my own looks, but if I could choose to be somebody else for a day, I might want to wish to be Asian. It seems like they can do any sort of make-up or hairstyle and it looks totally rad on them. ^___^
4.) As a child, yes. I don´t know if it really had to do with the way I looked. Children can be mean in general. But it struck a nerve at the time and I became very unconscious about my own body. It probably took me til I was 16, when I started to dress more daring and became more confident. I never listened to what others had to say anyway, but I always managed to end up with classmates who were bullies all through junior high. I honestly believe that everyone who says that school was "the best days of our life" is a very very sad person. My experiences lead me to react very aggressively whenever I encounter bullying. Nowadays nobody dares to harass me, but whenever I see somebody being treated badly, I stand up for them. I cannot take it.
5.) That depends on how friendly this person is. I hardly ever judge people by their looks. Except when they dress really daring and inspiring. Then I can´t help but bluntly stare at them. Life taught me that morons stay morons, no matter what shape or size they come in.
5 things I am grateful for today:
- green tea with milkfoam and honey. Energy boost!
- Due to the weather changes recently I was totally not myself. I felt tired and faint, but as of today everything has finally gone back to normal. You only know how important health is when you get sick.
- Knowing that I look better without make-up than with tons of it on my face.
- Ellen´s Dance Dares
- knowing what my brother gets as an easter present, theehee.
Huuuugs and happy weekend everyone!
XOXO,
1. Beautiful celebrities are : Natalie Portman, Audrey Toutou, Penelope Cruz, Gong Li, Adriana Tarábková (she was my favourite princess in a film) And all of my friends just look gorgeous. Maybe because I also know their character and I can`t split character and look, too. In general I think: usually everybody has something unique and beautiful.
ReplyDelete2. Puh, hard Question. I think my Isadora Mineral Powder and chrystal Gloss Lipstick. I just love this two items. And my secret weapon:zinc ointment. Is good for every skin problem.
3. I really don`t want to look like another person. I like myself with all my inperfections. Ok, to be honest: to look like Penelope Cruz for one day....would be interessting. ;)
4. Yes, i was but not that bad. A lot of people in my school seemed to have problems with my pale skin (with pale skin in general I think, because almost every girl was going to the solarium). But I always thougt: So what? I have pale skin and dark hair. I look like snow whites little sister. ;)
5. As you write in your answers and I in my point one: Character counts but usually I just accept that a person maybe look better than me and I just adore the beauty. But if the person is nice, friendly polite and hardwarming in addition,
I whorship them. ;) Furthermore because of a "good character" a person
becomes beautiful to me.
I like to add, that I really like your blog your artworks and the themes you write about. In germany there is a mag "Das Magazin" which is very graphic orientated. They always have a cover design of a young illustrator or graphic designer. Your kind of work is something I would really appreciate.
ReplyDeleteHere we go again – answering your questions! I totally like that. :)
ReplyDelete1.) Who do you consider as beautiful?
Not a special celebrity really … Well, Emma Watson is beautiful. :) But I do more like to see beautiful women on the street. I really like to see well-dressed and styled women in everyday-life.
My sister for example, who is becoming more and more beautiful since she is more confident with herself and tries to take care of her body since about 1 and a half year. :)
2.) What is your favorite product and why?
I started to take care about my beauty and bought make-up only one and a half year ago or so. XD So I haven’t found a product I am really sure about. My mascara from Nivea, called Extreme Resist is really lasting long, but hard to clean at the end of the day. I should try the one you mentioned. :)
What I really fell in love with last week is not a make-up product but a parfum! It is just called Vanilla from the Body Shop. It smells WONDERFUL! <3
3.) Did you ever wanted to look like somebody else? If yes: why?
I am really not sure about this … I can’t really remember. I think sometimes back at school I was jealous becaus other girls started to have breasts, and mine grew very late. But that were just few and very short moments …
I didn’t really care about my appearance until 1–2 years ago – since I am working.
4.) Have you ever been bullied or harassed because of how you look?
No, never. Though I was not the super-awesome person who everybody wanted to stay around at school I was respected. I never was dressed up so beautiful by my mother when I was young, and when I grew older I did not really care about it (like with the make-up). But since I am over 20 I do care about it more and more – and totally love dressing up. :)
5.) When you think a person is way more beautiful than you, how do you react to them?
I totally love to look at beautiful people on the streets – like I said before! <3 It is way too rare to see really beautiful dressed up people, so I most of the time enjoy it.
But I only enjoy those who are dressed up beautiful, styled beautiful – and ACT beautiful. What I mean: Who are not acting arrogant or tell with their face „You are less important and beautiful than me.“
I don’t like those people – but those mostly do not really look beautiful. You realize it very fast if someone is acting like that.
