Hi Darlings,

Where we are going to ask you a beauty related question and we want to read your answers so make sure to leave a comment.
If you have a question for next week you are free to ask and I’ll make sure include it in another post and to give you credit for it.
When did you fall in love with makeup?
Mimi: I’ve always loved makeup, when I was like 4-5 I used to get so excited for Carnival (we didn’t celebrate Halloween in Italy back then and Carnival was our occasion to dress up) because my mom would allow me to use lipstick.
In my Kristen Stewart Chanel Inspired Look #MakeupMonday I’ve also told you the moment were I looked for my first tutorial online which is when I realised that makeup was my call.
Julia: I’ve started loving Nail Polish first when I was in middle school and for the longest time that was the only beauty thing I did. Not that I didn’t wear makeup, but it was very simple and it wasn’t a passion.
Then a two-three years ago I started getting into YouTube beauty video and the thing kind of grew on me so I started buying products after hearing the reviews, the rest is history.
NOW IT’S YOUR TURN: LEAVE US A COMMENT SO WE CAN START A CONVERSATION.

Carnival sounds awesome btw!! I don’t remember when I fell in love with makeup exactly. I think the first makeup I ever worn was black eyeliner in my waterline and nail polish. But I remember, when I went into my gothic tomboy phase, I was a huge fan of Taylor Momsen and I used to do my makeup like her!!
Hahaha I used to love her make up but wasn’t brave enough to rock it
Lucky to grow up in Italy!! I too, loved makeup from an early age! I would steal my moms eyeshadows and lipsticks lol.
Born and raise… but to be honest I don’t feel very lucky! We all stole mom’s make up ahah
I also have always been so interested in makeup. It’s so nice hearing everyones stories about how they got their start in the world of cosmetics!
Thank you for reading x
I’ve always loved makeup, but didn’t really start to use it until I was older. My 5 year old daughter, on the other hand is obsessed with it.
Hahaha she sounds like 5 years old me ?
Probably the first time my mom applied mascara on me! I think I was thirteen or fourteen. I went to school and all my friends and people I knew kept complimenting me all day. I got a bit addicted to it!
Ahahah ahaha I love this
I only learned to love makeup on my 38th year. I’m such a late bloomer! I used to hate it actually.
That’s such a fun story! X
I fell in love with makeup around the time I started enjoying photography!
That’s fun! ?
First of all^ the idea of the post is absolutely adorable! I started liking makeup thanks to my big sister who tried some on from time time. I wanted to have more in common with her… and here I am, applying makeup and thinking of her very often when I do
Thank you so much ♥️ I love your makeup story, you are so sweet ?
I have always loved makeup, since a very young age.
My favorites are highlighters and lipsticks !!
They are my faves too! ??
I was a bit of a late bloomer. Tended to be a bit more on the Tom Boy side. Wasn’t until I was about 29 that I started to dabble with makeup and try to learn as much as I could. I instantly fell in love with it. Just nice ways to make myself feel a little better about myself, but I tend to stay more towards the natural side. Maybe I am intimidated with all the bold looks. Seems outside my wheelhouse! lol
That’s an amazing story ♥️♥️♥️
Perfect timing for that question – because I just thought about this the other day when I realized I more or less stopped wearing make-up on the daily. So I thought: when and why did I start? I grew up in Germany and then was an exchange student in the US. In America girls wore make-up, in Germany we really didn’t. So I got hooked then.
I think here in Europe we generally wear less make up, I really don’t know why
I fell in love with makeup in high school because it allowed me to express myself. However, wasn’t until I was out of college and had my nails done professionally that I discovered I really loved nail polish. I have a makeup bag devoted entirely to my nails and can not resist looking at polishes anytime I see them.
I had that fase when I discovered Kiko as brand, they had hundreds of shades for a few bucks! It was the dream!
Hahaha yeah Carnival was also the only time I used makeup when I was younger haha! I actually started wearing make up daily pretty late… I think I was around 19 years old…! Still I don’t use it that much today though !
The parties at school! Those were the best, I think Halloween wasn’t a big thing till I was in middle school maybe. I know so many girls who started that late though
Hahaha yeah same! I really loved the parties!
I got into makeup I think 3 years ago, when I was 23. I feel like I was a late to the makeup party.
It’s never too late ?
You are so right!
I have a love hate relationship with makeup. I only wear it for special occasions…the part I don’t like is taking it off.
Agree x
I love the question 😀 I think I was in college when I first fell in love with makeup but I would hardly put makeup because I was too lazy to remove it.
Hahahah that’s so true
I have just now started to get into makeup and I’m 40. I guess I just always felt I didn’t need it because I had pretty nice skin. Now, I love the fact that it can add just a nice accentuation. I’ve gotten pretty good at applying it as well.
That’s awesome?
I think, I feel in love with make during my toddler years haha, Honestly, while listening how my mom telling me that I almost destroy her makeup whenever I am holding it.
Ahahaha that’s awesome!
I used to by make up when I was in high school, then I found out that I really love to do it while growing up.
That’s such a fun story x
I remembered when I was 5 years old my mom always put a makeup on me but I can’t no longer use it when I get older because of my allergies.
That’s sad, I’m sorry for you
i’ve always been curious about makeup, as a kid i used to play with my mother’s lipsticks! But i became more involved during my college years, i used to watch a lot of tutorials

We all did ahahah xxx
To be honest. For me it’s still a process. I don’t wear too much makeup but I am really learning to be comfortable applying it more. One thing I want to master is fake eyelashes.
I really wish I feel in love with make-up. I have to live the rest of my life having a boring face.
I’m sure it’s not boring ?
My first like for any beauty product was nail polishes when I was around 6. Would pester my mum to to put on for me during school holidays. During High School it was lipstick whenever we went out. Proper make up with foundation, eye liner and the works I did for my engagement and I cried as it made me look so different, I didn’t like it at all!
That’s such an interesting story, I can’t imagine what kind of look they did on you to make you cry
This is such a tough question! I would have to say my junior year of high school cause somehow I wore eyeshadow like everyday ?
Ahhhaah that’s the moment then ?
