I’m the kind of person who needs deeper answers to questions of all sorts going on in my head, even those that we don’t see just with our eyes. And till I’m not satisfied I keep on searching. I’m not a kind of woo woo woo person with the head in the clouds, but I know that we are not just a mere piece of flesh.
I’m also fully aware that we are all very different and I appreciate each one’s choices. I love beauty in all its forms (not just makeup related things, although these are my source of joy from an early age. I love reading all sorts of books and magazines (fashion, beauty, art, cooking, esoteric,…), it just has to be creative and interesting enough to fullfil my endless need for new knowledge!
Well, among earthy things I also adore eating very good and cooking too! It’s a joy to discover novelties from different cultures, cooking and creating on my own (expert in pasta & soups). I think that in the kitchen creativity and good mood are the most important part of health!
2. What made you start blogging and what’s the story behind Green Make-up?
I just wanted to write a beauty blog a few years before I started Green make-up, but somehow it never happened.
It seems that the right time had to come, because suddenly I got the idea to include green cosmetics in the blog too. I was using and researching it for 2 years at that time and so everything started.
I don’t want to sound pathetic, but it wasn’t a moment.
Later when in elementary school I didn’t know about makeup artist as a job, but I was collecting eyeshadows because of their colours and all those beauty things made me escape in my world.
4. If you had to make it, how would your list of 5 most important makeup products look like?
And that’s basically an entire make-up done (well, must say that I’m a little bit post-summer influenced with this choice).
5. Do you have favorite makeup brands and if yes, what are they?
For my personal use some of my favourites are Vapour organic beauty, Jane Iredale, RMS beauty, Nvey Eco, Lavera, Logona among the main ones.
6. Do you personally prefer classic makeup styles or enjoy following trends?
I love a mix of both, a fusion I’d say, because I don’t follow trends “blindly”, but I love to mix everything together upon my intuition and mood and also depending on style.
7. Please give us your 5 main tips for the the girls out there trying to find their “look”.
Don’t follow directly the “celebrity” looks, it may not suit you. Instead explore the colours and textures, different styles and follow your own guide.
Let your face features dictate what you will wear. Search and discover what you like and dare to have your own style. Don’t be a “copy-paste” girl without your own individuality.
8. What are your favorite makeup websites/blogs?
Honestly, I don’t surf a lot on those typical sites or blogs. I prefer reading “real” magazines. But I love Style.com since ever.
Thank you for being part of my green make-up & beauty world! Love yourself and accept yourself as you are!
