International Women’s Day 2013

by HeatherG on March 8, 2013

422752_304645276265066_1483849628_n Happy International Women’s Day!! Also known as International Working Women’s Day, marked every March 8th by celebrating and sending e-cards and gifts to the women who mean the most in your life. Thousands of events occur not just on this day but throughout March to mark the economic, political and social achievements of women.

The 2013 theme: “The Gender Agenda: Gaining Momentum” is the 2013 theme of our internationalwomensday.com website. Last year our 2012 theme was Connecting Girls, Inspiring Futures which supported the United Nation’s (UN) first International Day of the Girl celebrated on 11 October 2012. The UN declares an International Women’s Day theme and for 2013 it is “A promise is a promise: Time for action to end violence against women”. In 2012 it was “Empower Rural Women – End Hunger and Poverty”. Many organizations develop International Women’s Day themes relevant to their local contexts. For example, the European Parliament’s 2012 theme was “Equal pay for work of equal value”.

18 Makeup Tips for Girl with Glasses

by HeatherG on February 6, 2013

There are so many types of frames, colors, and styles of glasses trying to figure out what type of makeup to wear can get kind of frustrating. Makeup.allwomenstalk.com put together 18 fool proof tips that will have you looking fabulous with any type of glasses you put on!

Here are the first 5, very good tips! Read the full 18 here: http://makeup.allwomenstalk.com/makeup-tricks-for-eyeglass-wearing-girls/

1. Natural Eyes – When you are an eyeglass wearer, you are super lucky because you can actually stay pretty neutral with your eye makeup. The reasoning behind this is because your bright colors won’t really be seen behind those fashionable eyeglasses.

2. Bright Lips – One of the top makeup tips for eyeglass wearers is saving those bright and bold colors for your lips! Want a pop of pink? Do it on your lips! What about some violet? Your lips! It’ll make all of the difference ladies!

3. Load up on mascara – A lot of the makeup tips for eyeglass wearers that I read was mascara is bad and will stick against the glass of your glasses – this is a myth. Mascara will only highlight your eyes and really bring them out from behind your glasses, so mascara it up!

4. Use gel liner – Gel liner is actually one of the best liners for eyeglass wearers – it’s also one of the top makeup tips for eyeglass wearers! Gel liner is one of my favorite liners, not only does it stay on, but it’s super easy to apply too! My favorite? Of course, Maybelline’s gel liner!

5. Wearing thick frames? Use thicker eye liner – Did you know that if you have thicker framed eyeglasses, your eyeliner should mimic that? This tiny makeup tip for eyeglass wearers is a secret that I am blowing out of the water! So girls with thicker frames, make sure that your eyeliner compliments your thicker frames!
