Bold eyeliner. This will help draw attention away from my red nose. I’ve always been afraid of eyeshadows, eyeliners and such, but I’m gonna give it a try. So I don’t look like a gomer, I’ll pair it with peach lipstick, which is also very in for spring. Just think of it as a “sea of coral.”
Braids and headbands. Braids are coming back with bohemian flare my friends. Don’t make them too sweet though. Muss them up a bit. Thick chunky headbands with big hair and blunt ends. White thick headbands. Hot.
The “No Makeup” Makeup. Did I mention along with my red nose, I have a huge zit that looks like a cherry tomato above my eyebrow? I don’t think I can get away with this look-at least right now anyway. To get this look, go with mineral foundations, pastel colored eye shadows, peachy or light pink blush, gloss and one coat of mascara on your top lashes.
Ballet-Inspired Makeup. Ultra feminine pinks, sexy updos, loose buns. Wearing your hair up, elongates your neck. FYI- the more fussy and feminine the details on your clothes are, the more simple and uncomplicated your hair should be. Just sayin.

Good work, my little gal pal. I’m so glad the no makeup look is in style since I wear no makeup at least 50 percent of my life. And, did you just use the word “perusing”?? P.S. Its freezing here in st. George, its not easy golfing when I can barely feel my hands!
Good tips! But I just wanted to say I think that little old lady at the top of your post is very beautiful- not frumpy. She looks like life has given her many trials and yet she remains sweet and full of wisdom.
She’s totally cute. We kinda need a pic of a mom in sweats, frazzled hair, and no makeup. Oh, that’s right…a picture of me would have worked just fine! That’s me, to a T, right now…probably ALL of us moms, at one time or another.
Ballet-inspired makeup would actually be blue eye-shadow, bright pink blush and red lipstick! That’s what ballerinas wear so you can see their faces on stage.
but, since I’m not on stage, I’m digging the “no-makeup” look. Light foundation, shimmery nude eye-shadow, touch of mascara on the top lashes and a tinted lip gloss. Amazing what a difference it makes!
You’re right Jennifer- I changed the picture to a mom with no makeup- sorry to offend anyone! Thanks!
Yea i like this picture better! Great tips! Thanks! Keep em comin!
I’m loving the whole less is more trend right now…especially since as a Mommy of two boys my bathroom time = nada! Wispy pull backs are a life saver for me right now and I am in love with all the fun ways to dress it up, clips, flowers, headbands…just have fun!
