What made you fall in love with makeup and beauty?

I really don't have a moment when I thought that I should do make up, I have loved it always. Even when I was a little girl I looked up makeup videos and copied them on my friend; I was about 10 and she was 8. I did things such as smokey eyes even though I did not have the right stuff, but I enjoyed doing it. Then I had a boyfriend (when i was 16) who didn't like it, so I didn't do it anymore. After a while I started following more makeup accounts, and really liked how they do contouring and all, so I thought, lets give it a try. I found out I was pretty good at it, so I kept doing it. My bf didn't like it, and after a while we broke up. Now I am 2 years further and I've improved my makeup skills, and I love it more now. I've been doing makeup on that same friend I mentioned before, and it's really nice to see how I've improved. I love the reactions people have when I do their make up.

What is your go-to moisturizer? 

A moisturiser from Yves Rocher with calendula. I LOVE it

Matte lips or lip gloss?

I prefer matte lips over glossy lips because I don't think (glossy) suits me.

Favorite beauty IGs to follow:

My fave IG's to follow are: @hudabeaty (bc she's a legend) and @fiercesociety (obv) and @bretmansvanity because I just love that page.

What is your advice for plus sized fashionistas who want to look and feel fabulous?

My advice for plus size fashionistas is just to not give a f. Like, what is plus size?! I just like food. Just put on makeup and gloooww. Be fab, no advice needed.

What can we do, right now, to make the world a better place?

We can do nothing. I believe the world is f'd up and we can't change that ever, but you just gotta make it the best for you, and the people you influence/hang with, and your family. And for the rest of the world, you can't actually do anything. Whenever I can make someone's day better, mine's automatically better too. I just try and be nice to everyone; my rule to life is just give what you get. And on social media, if I get negative comments, I won't look after it, because people will always be jealous or negative. You can't really do anything about it.

What's your favorite...

Nail polish? I don't wear nail polish because it's not allowed at school. I'm in school for health care, so I can't wear nail polish :'(
