Makeup For Glasses


I hardly ever wear my glasses, I always feel so ugly when I wear them! Lately I've been trying new makeup styles and I'm starting to love my glasses again. I see them as an accessory now instead of a burden. I love this look without glasses but when you put the glasses on it changes it, it completes it!

I hope you try this look out!



What I used:
♥ Maybelline Baby Skin Primer
♥ Garnier BB cream Oily/Combo
♥ Collection 2000 Long Lasting Concealer
♥ Anastasia Brow Powder Duo brunette
♥ E30 Double Ended Brow/Spoolie
♥ Elf Cream Bronzed Cream Shadow
♥ The Balm Matte Nude Palette
♥ Sleek Kohl Pencil Eyeliner
♥ NYX Black Label Lipstick Cancun Pink


You might have seen my "makeup for glasses" I posted a year ago. The tips are similar but this new video is more of a going out look instead.


For day to day wear check out this video - 



Love you all, Sinead x

Britney Spears 2014 People’s Choice Awards

Britney Spears 2014 People’s Choice Awards


I'm a huge Britney Spears fan so I wanted to share her red carpet look from the People's Choice Awards. Brit won Favourite pop artist! Yay! She is totally the queen of pop I could imagine her not winning it.

But as this is Themakeupchair let talk makeup - For once I have nothing negative to say I think she's glowing, her skin looks flawless I guess Vegas life suits her, Her eyebrows are great, Usually her makeup artist "forgets" them and they look uneven and washed out but they looks great. She looks great!
I think she recently changed her makeup artist and he is doing a great job! 



If there was a movie about Britney's life Kaley Cuoco (Penny from TBBT) could totally play her!

Don't you think??? 
They are so similar! 


Kaley looks like a sweet little doll there doesn't she :)

  • Then I stopped and now I do it twice a month!

  • My new favourite brow kit:

  • E30 Double Ended Brow/Spoolie

Themakeupchair

Who me?? In Cosmopolitan magazine... 



All week long I've had comments about people seeing me in Cosmopolitan magazine. I was sure it wasn't me but I double checked my emails to make sure I hadn't sleep-emailed Cosmo into featuring me or something but no, I assumed it must have been a mistake. Maybe someone who looked like me or with a similar name.
It came as a total shock to me to get an email from a follower with a screenshot of it. 
I am over the moon!
 I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE IT!! 

It was this video that was featured, I'm still in shock!!


Thank you all so much for watching my videos. I can't believe a shy quiet girl from a small town has made it into Cosmopolitan magazine in India! Crazy!! 

Huge hugs and cakes all round today!!

Love Sineady xx

Throwback Thursday

Throwback Thursday

This is one of my favourite looks!
I might seem complicated but it get easier with time and it's a go-to look for me!

I edited this and I had lost my voice so I subtitled it instead, It's the only time I've ever done that!


Let me know what you think of subtitle, Are they helpful???
Or do you prefer voice overs???

Long Lasting Lipstick



We all want our lipstick to last longer, Who wants to be topping up their lipstick throughout the day! 
It's the biggest complaint with lipstick, Imagine topping up your eye makeup throughout the day because it faded completely and you have to start from scratch! You just wouldn't want to wear it!

Luckily there are steps you can take to improve the longevity of your lipstick!



Start with a primer or a lip balm. If you chose a lip balm remove excess oils with blotting paper or a tissue before starting.
Lip balm: http://www.glossybox.co.uk/original-nipple-balm-for-lips


Define the lip shape with a lip liner and then fill in the rest of the lips. Lip liners are waxy and dryer so they last longer on the lips. If you are using a creamy lip liner blot again with paper or tissue.
Lip liner: Rimmel Red Diva



Apply the first layer of lipstick. I would suggest using a lip brush for a sharper cleaner finish.
Lipstick: Rimmel Kate Moss Collection 01
Lip Brush: L29 Lip Brush/Winged Eyeliner Brush http://www.blankcanvascosmetics.com/products/l29-lip-winged-eyeliner-brush.html

Blot the lips with blotting paper. I prefer using blotting paper then just tissue or the back of your hand because blotting paper only absorbs oils and shouldn't remove as much pigment as tissue.
Blotting Paper: Boots

The more pigment on the lips the longer it will last.

Apply the second coat of lipstick. You really want to use a lip brush here to make sure you stay within the shape you have already outlined.

For an option extra step use a product called Lipcote. It seals in the lipstick helping it to last longer.
Lipcote: http://www.glossybox.co.uk/lipcote-lipsticksealer

Sharpen the edges of the lips with a flat concealer brush.
Concealer Brush: F17 Pointed Tip Camouflage brush
http://www.blankcanvascosmetics.com/products/f17-camouflage-brush.html
