In order to mark YouTube’s 10-year anniversary, our Campus Celebrity this week is Norwich’s one and only Tanya Burr. The Norwich born beauty is a make up artist, beauty blogger and successful YouTuber. Burr runs a successful YouTube channel posting videos about beauty, fashion and lifestyle to a global audience. Boasting almost 3,000,000 subscribers she uploads weekly videos on every kind of content imaginable from baking videos to beauty routines. Our top favourite Tanya Burr videos at Her Campus UEA are her fashion hauls and her ‘Get Ready With Me’ videos where she takes you through her entire beauty regime and gets ready for amazing events from film premiers to launch parties. Despite being a talented beauty blogger and make up artist, millions of followers watch her vlogs simply for a pick-me-up. Burr’s positivity and sunny disposition are infectious and her collaboration videos with her fiancée and fellow YouTubing star Jim Chapman never fail to make viewers laugh.
Tanya Burr is not only known for her YouTube channel, she has also released her own beauty brand ‘Tanya Burr Cosmetics’ specialising in nail varnishes, lip glosses and false eyelashes. Our favourite Tanya Burr make up products have to be her nail varnishes for their gorgeous shades and adorable names – our top choices are Little Duck, Peaches & Cream and Penguin Chic – They are the perfect summer shades and a worthy expense of your student loan!
If all this wasn’t enough, Burr has also written and released a memoir-style book ‘Love, Tanya’: a mixture of baking, fashion, beauty and her personal life with insight into the mysterious world of YouTube. Burr states that “books have always been a huge part of my life from a very young age” and it has proved to be a huge success with her book sales rocketing since it’s release in January.
Despite moving to London with her fiancée, Burr continues to visit Norwich frequently with one of her favourite spots in Norwich being No 33, a café serving delicious home made cakes, mouth-watering breakfasts and a tempting variety of hot drinks! Look out for Miss Burr when you’re out and about in Norwich, she has a great reputation for being a lovely person to meet!
