Let's revisit the joys of makeover Monday, shall we. Like I've said before, it is a day to showcase how makeup can enhance one's own beauty. Call it superficial, but I'll call it facts. Makeup embellishes your features, makeup utilizes your imagination, and most of all, makeup makes you feel good. Do I feel beautiful bare-faced? Sure. But this isn't about me, this is about you, and if putting on a full face of glam makes you feel like a million bucks then
shine on baby girl!
For this look I used my beautiful mother. A local non-profit corporation Alley's House, that empowers teen mothers and their children (where she volunteers), wanted to feature her, for she raised 3 out of 4 of us kids as a single mother. This feature was going to be filmed, so of course we had to turn up the glam!
We wanted to keep the focus on her eyes, using products to bring out the color, as well as making them pop on screen. Mom requested some effortless depth and definition to her face and brows, but did not want it to compete with the rest of the look.
Despite others who try to put an age limit on the use of highlighters, I believe you're never to "old", or young for a gorgeous glow. Of course, there are some skin types that favor certain types of highlighters over others, but the right highlighter gives skin a more youthful appearance, and c'mon no one will say no to that!
I'll say it again, makeup makes you feel good. Makeup boosts the confidence we all have within us. Mom knew before all the makeup she was capable of giving a stellar interview, but once the look was complete her spirit was shining through, and that's the best kind of glam we can wear!
