TLS #103: makeup saves + splurges, plus an inside look at full-time vlogging with Anna Gardner (Vivianna Does Makeup)

Today’s Lively Show is a fun, lighthearted “girl chat” with the lovely and down-to-Earth beauty vlogger, Anna Gardner, of the very popular YouTube Channel and blog, Vivianna Does Makeup.

Though dozens of well-known bloggers have come on TLS and discussed blogging tips, we’ve never directly spoken about the topic of video blogging and YouTube.

So today, Anna is filling us in on how full-time vloggers make an income, tips and tricks for making great videos, which equipment we should invest in, and more.

Plus, she also shares her favorite spend + splurge makeup items.

This episode is perfect for anyone looking to hear a fun chat about all things beauty and vlogging.

PS - Michigan Meetup Update!

We are going to do a casual Ann Arbor meetup on November, 11th at 7pm. The location is TBD, depending on how many people RSVP (there's no cost to come, and it will likely be at a coffee shop or restaurant for casual drinks and chatting).

If you'd like to join us, send us an email with the subject "Michigan Meetup." My Right Hand Lady, Elle, will send over the location details when we have a spot lined up. : )
