A self-confessed ‘make-up maven, product pusher and lacquer lover’, Anna Gardner serves up a daily dose of beauty wit and wisdom on her blog, Vivianna Does Makeup.
Friendly, frank and refreshingly funny, there’s a reason she is one of the most loved beauty Vloggers on YouTube, as well as having a staggering 60,000+ Instagram followers who can’t get enough of her super-cute snaps and accompanying tongue-in-cheek captions… She’s also a worthy winner of a coveted Cosmopolitan award for ‘Best New Beauty Blog 2011’ and was handpicked by curators-of-cool Refinery29 as one of their Top 6 Brit Beauty Bloggers.

“One handful of these strewn into your bathtub each evening guarantees a good night’s sleep. On my third jar and counting…”
“If there was a prize for the most swooniest piece of eye candy in my stash then hands down this would come up top. The dinky size is perfect for travel and the selection of products means you only need to add foundation, concealer and mascara – et voila!”
“A new find that now has a permanent home in the depths of my handbag. I whip it out for dry patch S.O.S. situations on my face, lips, elbows, legs, everywhere.”
“I’m a long time tanner and after slapping on pretty much every faux glower out there, nothing beats the long-lasting olive tint this gives.”
“When things get a little weepy, out this comes for a quick roll under my eyes to soothe, de-puff, drain and wave goodbye to those tears.”
“Sweep over areas post-shave to guarantee an ingrown hair-free situation the next day. Waxing wimps – you need this.”
“A cleanser I use in the mornings to give skin that ‘I went to bed at 7pm’ glow, when I’ve actually stayed up past midnight.”
“A balm textured glow-giver without the shimmer, just subtle sheen. I use over my cheekbones and on the inner corner of my eyes for a dewied-up complexion.”
“My cheekbone ‘carver-outer’ of choice. The grey-laced tone looks like a natural shadow on the skin – suck in, sweep on and see structure.”
“A light, perfecting finish or a more covering result for bad skin days, this foundation does it all and with a balanced dewy/matte ‘looks like skin’ texture.”
