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.

Inspired Makeup - Tanya Burr

This is another inspired makeup look, and this time from Tanya Burr, She's been a great inspiration, and a big reason as to why i wanted to start my blog. I chose a look of hers from when she was at playlist live earlier this year as i think its great for the more brighter and warmer days we have been having in England, This is my take on it using a soft brown eye, with bronzed cheeks and a light pink lip.

No7 eyeshadow - Khaki shine  - Used as the base coat all over the lid

Mac eye shadow - Espresso - Blended into the crease, outer corner, and line under the bottom lashes

Elf cream eyeliner - Black - Thinly line the top lashes

Max factor mega volume mascara - Black

Face:

Favourite April Products

At the beginning of April and during Easter we had some lovely weather and i really started to feel ready for when summer would be here and all my exams would be finished, now unfortunately i'm back at college and all it has done is rain, but during this month i have had lots of new favourite products that i wanted to share. I've tried to chose one from each area such as an eye shadow, a lipstick e.t.c.

 

Mac eye shadow - Steamy

To start this eye shadow is the most amazing colour, if applied lightly it gives just a subtle green but can be layered to create a lovely metallic green colour, I love this colour at the moment for nicer weather. This has a frost finish so it has a metallic sheen to it and a slight shimmer.

Tanya Burr lip gloss - Exotic island

I wanted to buy some of Tanya Burrs new products and this was the one i ordered but was quite worried as it looks very bright, however it is my favourite, when applied it really isn't as bright as you may think, it is a lovely pink tone, has a glossy shine but it is not too sticky and applies really well with the applicator.

Collection 2000 lipstick - Pretty please

This lipstick i have had for ages and every so often it still comes out, but with this great weather its my favourite at the moment, the colour is a pink coral, not too bright so great for everyday and is perfect for the sun, It applies really well to the lips but would need re-applying through out the day.

Rimmel 60 seconds nail varnish - Fifty shades of pink

This nail varnish i actually got for free on an offer, and from the name i though pink, no, i don't like pink but who would turn down a free bargain, when actually I love this colour, It's not too pink at all, its a lovely deep pink/red. I have lots of this brand and they really do dry quickly and they are really easy to take off after too.

Marc Jacobs perfume - Honey

This perfume is by far my favourite for a while, i got this as a christmas present and have been using it since and still love it, It has a sweet scent which is nice and the packaging is just very cute with the bees.

Witch hazel blemish gel

This is non makeup related but i wanted to put it in there none the less as it is a great product, I suffered from a mild acne and been on medication but now i have started to get it again across my chin and cheeks so i picked up this and it has been working, it obviously hasn't got rid of it but this is a clear jel I apply every night to troubled areas and it helps to dry it and reduce it.

Tanya Burr's Lips And Nails

I finally managed to purchase some of Tanya Burr's lip glosses and nail varnishes, and just by using them for a day i already fell in love with them. I only purchased 2 of each but i will definitely be buying more.

In the lip glosses, i bought exotic island which is a bright pink/purple and i love it, I was slightly scared it would come out a lot brighter on the lip than it does, but i'm rather glad it doesn't, its a beautiful pink tone with lots of shine. The second was Champagne toast, its a really neutral colour with a little bit of sparkle and shine, great for everyday if you want to wear something but without standing out. The lip gloss itself are amazing, they have a great consistency of not being to sticky or runny, the applicator is lovely and soft making its easy to apply.

The nail polishes i bought are bright and early, a pink coral, great for spring to add a pop of colour to any outfit. Then midnight sparkle which is a deep black purple colour, it has a slight sparkle in which can be seen if it catches the light sometimes, would look great for an evening look. The nail polishes apply easily without being to gloopy or runny, i feel you probably need two coats to make it opaque but i do this with most anyway, the colours are left bold when dried. The only thing i would prefer is if the brush is a little bigger, but that's only a preference, it doesn't fault the nail polish one bit.

Hope you enjoyed and i would love to hear your comments down below.
