International Guest Series - Meet the bblogger/MUA
Hi beauties! Today we have the absolutely gorgeous Charlotte here to meet you. Make sure you pop over and check out her blog too! Enjoy xx
Hello everyone! I’m Charlotte and my blog is ‘Vanity Fairest-x’ where I write about my favourite beauty products with the occasional fashion and lifestyle post!
× Describe yourself in five words.
Girly, Witty, Friendly, Passionate and Loyal - all of which I hope you can see throughout my blog! J
× Where in the world are you based?
I'm currently living in Essex in the UK.
× What made you decide to get into blogging/MUA??
Beauty has always been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember and I'd always read make up reviews on a website called 'MakeupAlley' I then discovered the blogging world from there and I thought to myself I could do this and I’ve not looked back since! Creating my blog is one of the best things I’ve ever done.
× What has been your favourite look you've created?
A few years ago, before my blog, I created a special effects Zombie make up look on one of my friends for Halloween. I was chuffed withthe final result, if I do say so myself ha, the picture quality wasn’t the greatest though as it was taken on an iPhone 3 (that’s how long ago it was!) I think I may have to recreate this look seeing as it’s appropriate with the time of year and all.
× What is your favourite beauty product at the moment?
Ooo this is a tricky one! I recently brought a 32 eye shadow palette from Makeup Revolution for the bargainous price of £8.00 and I LOVE it. It has a mixture of matte and shimmer shadows which are all super pigmented and the staying power is amazing. I’d definitely have to say that this is my current make up love and recent best buy.
× What piece of make up advice have you been given that you swear by?
Always to take off your make up before bed and have a good skin care routine. As soon as I started wearing make up my Mum got me intothe whole cleanse, tone and moisturise routine and I do have to thank her for this as I’m pretty sure this is the reason why my skin is theway it is now. After all your face needs a beauty canvas to start with doesn’t it?
× What do you think the biggest beauty myth is?
Having worked in the beauty industry for the past 4 years there are many myths I have come across. It’s been a hard decision to narrow it down to only one but the one I’ve chosen is one of the most important and one I come across on a daily basis. ‘You can’t put oil on oily skin’ This is so untrue. I’m going to get my beauty therapist head on now and tell you why. Many people who have an oily skin type over cleanse and scrub their skin to within an inch of its life in hope that this will banish the oiliness. This is the worst thing you could do. By doing this you’re striping your skin’s natural oil so it will produce more sebum (which clogs pores and causes breakouts) to compensate. It’s a vicious circle and I’ve met many clients of all ages and genders who have done this and the end result always is that it’s much worse than what it was to begin with. I always recommend them to use a facial oil and it always does the trick! By using this it restores and balances those overactive sebaceous glands resulting in much smoother, clearer and healthier skin as it’s an amazing moisturiser and treatment!
× What has been the best part about blogging/vlogging?
The blogging community. Everyone is so friendly and supportive of each other; I’ve made lots of good friends through blogging. I could ramble on for hours and hours about beauty products so I love that I can talk to like-minded others.
× Any last comments you would like to add?
