Glasses Wearers Everyday Makeup

I saw that Tanya Burr recently did a video on this on her youtube channel and i felt inspired to do one too and leave a few little tips that i try to follow. I don't need to wear glasses all the time so sometimes i don't worry about my makeup look, i only really use them for reading and when i start to get headaches, but if i'm wearing them for long periods of time this is a look i normally go for.

I usually go for a subtle eye makeup with some liner and then quite a bold lip. I tend not to go for a smokey eye or anything to heavy as your eyes can get lost behind the frames, especially if you've got large dark frames like mine, and i have a very tiny face which doesn't help. I like to wear a more bold lip when i wear glasses as it stands out, and with this look i went for pink which matches the inside colour of my glasses. Also having a stronger brow can look nice as most of the time the top of your frames will sit just below your brow so they are more noticeable. 

The products i used for this look were:

Mac eyeshadow - Honey lust and Espresso
No7 Eyeliner  - Black
Mac factor volume mascara  - Black
Rimmel london eyebrow pencil - Brown
Rimmel match perfection foundation - Ivory
Mac studio fix concealer - MW15
Rimmel stay matte powder - Translucent
MUA blusher - Marshmallow
Mac lipstick - Impassioned

 P.s. This blog is being moved over to www.yasminanne.co.vu so further posts will be on both blogs but this one will be gone in a few weeks.

Everyday Makeup Base

I've recently bought a new foundation and primer and my everyday makeup base of foundation, concealer etc has been changing so i'm going to share my routine and ideas.

Primer - Rimmel stay matte

I apply this to my face first as a base layer and helps to control the oil in my skin and keep my makeup on longer.
I recently purchased this one as i wanted to try a new primer out and with offers on in superdrug i thought why not, i think it works really well, applies well to the skin and overall a good primer.

Concealer - Collection 2000, fair

This concealer i use on top of the primer for under the eyes and on any very red blemish areas such as on my chin and a little on my cheeks.

Foundation - Rimmel match perfection, ivory

Brush - Real techniques exper face brush

I then apply my foundation all over my face, i use one pump on the back of my hand and gradually work it into the skin in circular motions with the expert face brush.
This foundation is not the heaviest of coverage but i wanted something lighter for the summer and warmer months and this is great, you can build it up if needed and blends really well in the skin.

Concealer - Mac studio finish, NW15

After foundation i use this concealer over any blemish or red areas left to get rid of any last marks.

This is my favourite concealer, it blends in really well and has great coverage over an blemishes, and for what looks like a small pot it lasts a very long time so it is good for it's money.

Powder - Rimmel stay matte powder

To finish everything off and hold my makeup i use this powder, it helps my makeup stay on all day whilst i'm at college and keeps my oily skin at bay.

This is just my everyday base that i apply and then i will change up and adapt the look depending on the blusher, bronzer and eye wear etc.

Inspired Makeup - AshleyMarieGaming

There are so many people out there whether they be celebrities, bloggers, friends or family that i look up to and find inspiration from their style and makeup. So I'm going to start posting inspired makeup looks from the people i like. I did one of these a little while ago of Hayley Williams, but this is going to be more of a regular occurrence. 

Today i wanted to do an inspired look from the youtuber Ashley from AshleyMarieGaming, i just think shes a great person and has an amazing style. From what i have noticed she usually wears black liner, a plainer face makeup with no bronzer or blush and sometimes a red/pinky lip. We both also have purple hair which if pretty great. So this is my own take on this.

Eyes:
Silver/grey eyeshadow - Avon - Used as base coat all over the lid
Black eyeshadow - Mua - Used to cover the lid and darken in the crease
Black cream eyeliner - Elf
Maxfactor mega volume mascara
Black pencil eyeliner - line the water line
Brown eyebrow pencil - Rimmel

Face:
No7 beautifully matte foundation - warm ivory
Natural collection concealer - Fair
Mac studio fix concealer - NW15
Rimmel stay matte powder - Peach glow

Lips:
Collection Lipstick - Burgundy, but no exact colour
Elf lipstick - Gypsy

Top 5 Nail Polish

My favourite nail polish, I couldn't just pick one as i have too many to chose from so this is my 5 favourite from the collection i have. They're nearly all different brands and all very different colours.

H&M - Bella's choice - £2.99

This is my favourite colour out of all of them, the bright blue/turquoise is great, with only one coat the colour looks bold but I always like to do two just to make sure thee are no gaps and is completely covered. It dries very quickly so a great polish if you're heading out somewhere and need to do your nails in rush.

No7 - Thunderstorm - £6.00

I love this nail polish one for its colour as it is a simple grey so looks lovely with anything without looking too dark like pure black would and also very chip resistant, I find it very hard to find a nail polish that wont chip within in a day on my nails, but this one is great and lasts for long time.

Rimmel - Caramal Cupcake - £2.69

This nail polish is from the 60 seconds collection which means it is supposed to dry in that time, and it really does, it dries super quick so you're able to do two coats without having to wait ages. This colour is great for those who don't like wearing bold colours but want something on their nails, it is very subtle but looks amazing.

Seventeen - Pink Glitter - £2.99

I have wanted one of these glitter nail polish's for a long time so i finally picked up a pink/red one, with just one coats it looks great over a coloured base, i have used black for this one as it really stands out, but you can also do multiple layers on its own to have fully glittered nails which is great for a special occasion. I will say it is a slight pain to get off with the more layers you do but that happens with any of the glitter nail polish.

Rimmel - Round And Round In Circles - £2.69

Again this is a polish from the 60 seconds collection so dries very fast. The polish is a lovely bright lemon colour, It needs 2/3 coats to make the colour really stand out and not leave it looking see through but great for summer or just adding that burst of brightness.

Make-up look for £10

I'm 17 in college, with a just a Saturday job, Even though I love my high end make-up brands, sometimes i just can't afford it, but there are some great drug store alternatives that I like just as much. I thought id put this together to show you that you can create a whole make-up look in just about £10.

To start off one of my best products in this is the MUA pallet I have, This costs just £4 and there are some great colours with multi uses. I used the purple colour all over the lids and blended this out with a black in the crease and on the outer corner to smoke it out a little, I then used the creamy shimmer colour on the inner corner of my eyes and it works perfectly. As well as this I used the black eye shadow to line my top lashes.

I used the super size collection 2000 mascara in black, this costs just £2.99 and works really well, making them look long and curled.

Finally for my face I used the natural collection shine away foundation, this is just £1.99 so really great and affordable. As I have oily skin I would normally use a matte foundation, but for a cheaper option I use this, it does help to reduce any shine I get on my skin but it is not really matte like others I use, however I think it works just as great but does not last as long. To the keep this all in place I finished by using the Rimmel stay matte powder for just £3.99.

Hope you liked this little post and I proved that you can have nice make-up and create some good looks with just about £10. I suppose I cheated a little as this does not include the brushes I used, but as for make-up I hope this was useful. xxx

Eyebrow Mayhem

Most people will fill in their eyebrows on a day to day basis, make them fuller, change the shape slightly. Me however, I have to create my eyebrows everyday. As of summer I began to realise my eyebrows were getting thinner and thinner, Until I realised the ends of my eyebrows were almost gone. I came to the conclusion that without even realising at all, I was picking at them, probably due to stress, And now as a result, it is a very slow process growing them back. So for today I thought I would share with you my daily routine of my make-up for my eyebrows.

It is not a very complicated or long process but I use the light matte brown colour in my MUA palette, Sorry but I do not know the name of the colour, and a Revlon angled brush to use as a base colour and get the shape right, Before then using Rimmel eyebrow pencil to darken it and fill in the rest.
