How much do you really divulge to your friends about your make-up routine? Could they pick your make-up bag out of a line-up? I quizzed two of my friends, one old, one new to see what they think my signature look is:
New friend: Lauren
What base products does Sarah use daily? SPF moisturiser
What’s her daytime make-up look? Natural (if not going to launches) – mascara and lipgloss
What’s her ‘night’ make-up look? Mascara, eyeliner and her MAC Lipstick!
How does she style her hair? Straight, straight, very, very straight thanks to ghds
What beauty essentials can’t she live without?ghds or dry shampoo
What’s her favourite beauty brand? Hmmmm, she’s a big fan of Kit Cosmetics I think
What’s her favourite perfume?Lovely by SJP?
What would she most like to change about her hair? Its tendency to frizz in humid conditions!
Old friend: Pamela

What’s her daytime make-up look? ‘Au natural’ (no make-up)
What’s her ‘night’ make-up look? Quite simple – mascara, lip gloss and maybe some eyeliner
How does she style her hair? She usually straightens her hair using ghds and some straightening serum
What beauty essentials can’t she live without? Lip balm
What’s her favourite beauty brand? Something expensive but I can never remember the name

What would she most like to change about her hair? The texture so it wouldn’t become massive and frizzy in humid temperatures or curly in the rain
Straight from the horse’s mouth:
What base products do you use daily? Olay Complete Defence Daily UV Moisturising Lotion SPF 30+ and bronzer
What’s your daytime make-up look? Concealer, bronzer, L’Oreal Paris Touch-On Colour 2-in-1 Shimmering for Eyes/Cheeks and someGood Skin Megabalm™ Ultra Soothing Lip Treatment
What’s your ‘night’ make-up look? Currently a slick of gold eyeshadow under lashes, Bourjois Liner Feutre (Liner with Felt Tip) on the lids, lashings of Max Factor Masterpiece MAX and a MAC Lipstick of choice
How do your style your hair? Straight if I’m off out but in a high bun if it’s hot or I’m being lazy
What beauty essentials can’t you live without? Currently Good Skin Megabalm™ Ultra Soothing Lip Treatment, Batiste Blush Dry Shampoo and of course my hair straighteners!
What’s your favourite beauty brand? Oh how could I possibly pick just one? I suppose if you looked at my make-up box, my obsession for MAC Lipstick would say a lot…
What’s your favourite perfume? Lovely by Sarah Jessica Parker
What would you most like to change about your hair? Its ability to turn frizzy in just about any condition that isn’t a mild, fine day
The verdict
I think the girls did pretty well – but then again I guess I do spend a LOT of time talking beauty! Perhaps I’ve told a couple of white lies about my day face though!
How do you think your friends would score? Get them to take the quiz, I’d love to know the results!
I love knowing what other people use
