FAQ

What camera do you use?


I use a Canon EOS 450D DSLR camera for almost all of my photos - except photos from 2009 and early 2010 prior to me buying the camera. Some photos are shot with my iPhone and edited with Instagram and Diptic - two of my favourite photography apps.


Where in Canada are you from?


Ontario. I live in the southern part of Canada bordering with the United States.


How did you start getting into makeup?


I started getting into makeup out of necessity. I suffered from pretty bad acne in my teens - it's lasted well into my 20's and still likes to rear its ugly head here and there.
I took my first trip out to the Clinique and MAC counters at the age of 16. I slowly started educating myself on makeup and skincare and I loved trying new things. In 2008 I discovered the makeup community online and became fascinated by it. I learned so much by watching and reading the tips of other women and of professionals that a year later I decided to share my own ideas and tips with the world :)

Where were you born?

I was born and raised in Romania up until I was 12, then my parents and I moved to Canada. Most of my family still resides in Europe so I try to go and visit every summer.


What do you do for a living?

Currently I am a full time student, I also work in the health care industry.

  1. Why "15 steps, then a beauty blog"?
    I wanted to ask you that for a while :)

    1. Hi, Hilda! Thank you so much for reading my blog :) my blog name is inspired by one of my favourite songs, called "15 Step", by Radiohead. I made my blog the summer that I saw them in concert for the first time and that song just made me so happy so I wanted to incorporate it in my blog title. It doesn't make much sense but it means something special to me.

    2. I always thought it might be named after the Radiohead song and kept thinking naaaah, that's too good to be true. I love it so much now that I know!
