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.

College VS Work

Now I knew I looked different from when i go to college and when I'm at work, i mean most people dress differently when you're not at work, but i didn't realise i looked that different my own colleagues wouldn't recognise me, i had to pop into work one day after i finished college and as i walked into the shop my colleague didn't take any notice who i was, till i said hi to her and she was surprised how different i looked, so i thought id share my two different looks with you all as i found this rather interesting. 

College:

This is a typical college look, i normally wear my everyday face routine with a bit of a brighter blush and sometimes a bright lipstick like this. My eye make-up is normally a shimmer gold colour blended out with brown, but as i wear glasses whilst at college for reading you don't normally notice it as much.

My hair is normally down with my fringe swept across, or sometimes i will clip my fringe back if i don't have much time left.

Work:

This is then a typical work look for Saturday, I make my self presentable obviously as i work in a shop but i use much more neutral colours, for example just a cream eye shadow with black liner, a subtle pink blush to add some colour to my cheeks, and either this nude lipstick or a pink lip gloss.

I usually wear my hair up in a bun like this as it's quick and easy to do if I'm in a rush, and it keeps it off my face while working all day.

After looking at both looks next to each other i can see the difference, but i think it's interesting how slightly different make-up and a hair style can change your whole look, i suppose that is the point to some extent though. Hope you enjoyed this little post, and let me know of any similar stories if you have any ?
