BECCA BROW POWDER - ASH

ELF TONE CORRECTING POWDER - COOL

Hey guys, here's my mum again! She usually moans that the make-up I do on her is too 'natural' or boring, so I decided to play up with the eye shape by adding some drama and lift. This look could of possibly been more 'night' than day, but the satin finish eye-shadows tones down the intensity - so I think gives an overall soft finish appearance, without looking too overbearing. Everything else was kept soft and fresh to give an appearance of youthfulness (which we all want) :)

BEAUTE LIQUI-GEL STAIN - FEVER

Hey guys, so I'm back home for 'now' so my mum returns on my blog. I got given free reign as usual and I always prefer to do a softer diffused look on her. She has a tendency to be heavy handed and it's very aging and unflattering. I'm also trying to veer my mum onto bolder lip shades. I remember when she used to rock Chanel red lips when I was really young and I always thought she looked awesome... she says her lips are too big, but accentuate your existing features!

Hey guys, so another mum post this week! Keeping it natural because she was just off to some Chinese opera/play thing, so nothing dramatic. Also I convinced her to dye her hair back to her natural dark tones. I think it suits her more, but what do you guys think? 

MUM GETS A MAKEOVER 3

 Mum with zilch!

The eyelash glue is still drying so please ignore and the lip colour isn't perfect - my mum just slapped it on.
I also decided to add navy on the lower lash line to match her dress (which you can kind of see) and also helps to brighten the whites of her eyes.

Hey guys, so I'm back 'home home' so my mum often asks me to help her get ready. She wanted quite a 'done' look so we decided to use false lashes on her for once, and I think  this helps to frame the eyes more with so much smokiness going on. 

This probably won't be the last time you see her face around here so welcome mummy L.F! 

MUM GETS A MAKEOVER - CHRISTMAS EVE

My mother again! She's becoming a regular face now

My mum has been going to more parties and events than me since I've been back at home... geez how ironic!

Anyway I think this is my favourite look I've done so far on my mum. Well you can actually see the make-up now as I've *kind of* sorted that horrible 'flash of death'.

Not just for 'mature' ladies but generally it's best not to stick to 'trends' and to just enhance existing features to actually keep things 'modern'.

To keep with the festive theme I used a red lipstick as a stain and with the eyes a 'soft' smokey eye with a taupe-y  purple and browns. I think shimmer/frosty eye-shadows are FINE to use on 'mature' ladies - you just need definition. And for this use matte shades to give it that 'opaque' structure to frame the eyes.
