I’m a 23 year-old journalism student currently living in Zurich, Switzerland. My name is Anna and I am happy to welcome you here! In the past (right now I lack the time, hence this blog), I have done theatre make-up. Often, I do my girlfriends’ make-up and they seek advice from me. And when I don’t have anyone around to paint, I paint myself and take pictures. I also did costume and make-up for my first short film. As you can see, one of my passions in life is make-up and everything related to it. Why? Because I believe that make-up, while not an everyday must per se, is quite simply a wonderful invention.

It can express feelings, enhance faces and moods, sculpt facial features (and even the body sometimes!) and it is fun to play with. I’m a very creative person and I find that I can let my creativity run free when I create new make-up designs. I’ve always been interested in colours, textures and effects and applying make-up is just that.

This blog will contain make-up reviews, tips, tricks and how-to’s. I hope you enjoy browsing it and find some inspiration for your own looks! Have fun and get paintin’!

Disclaimer: all the products I recommend have been tested by myself. And I’m like Superman: I never lie. I only recommed products I truly love and believe in. I am not in any way advertising here, just telling the truth.

Oh, you’ve got one last question? Why is it called The Big Diva?

That’s easy. I’m a big girl. And I’m a make-up diva. There are tons of blogs and websites out there for normal and skinny girls on how to do their make-up. There aren’t very many at all for us plus-sized women. The fact is, however, that big girls, not always but sometimes, need a bit more tricks to really make their facial features pop. Here, you will find all those I know and all those I’m still collecting.

So this is for all you juicy girls and women who aren’t afraid to flaunt what they’ve got and wear some sizzling make-up with pride! And if you are still afraid, I’ll do my best to appease those fears, trust me. And if you’re not Rubenesque? Don’t worry, my styles will still make you all look swonderful!
