Dramatic Makeover: From Meek to Chic

Hello My Beauty and Style Lovers,

I had a chance to make over one of my most favorite people, Mrs. O. She is a busy mom of two little ones. Due to her demanding schedule, I had to spread out her makeover over two weeks.

Mrs. O has great features that were hiding behind her thick, “shapeless,” hair and a unflattering hair color. Also, her amazing blue eyes were virtually unnoticeable under those eye-glasses and lack of makeup.

Don’t get me wrong, Mrs. O is a great woman, who is not afraid of change. I just wanted her beautiful inside shine on the outside. Therefore, I cut her her over 5 inches and  I lightened it quite a bit. I also gave her a lesson on makeup and taught to focus on her fabulous eyes, making them a focal point.

 

Not So Plain Jane: Dramatic Eye Makeup

We live in a world, where looks are very important. How we dress and how we do our makeup and hair matters. We are judged at the first glance by the way we look. It is said, but true. We don’t live in a perfect world, but we can make the best off of it.

I strongly believe we are all beautiful in our own way. Some people just spend more time on their look and others spend less time. Since this world seems to focus on looks, I think it is important to appreciate our own beauty, embrace it, and make it shine.

Few nights ago, Jane texted me if I could do her makeup for a new job at some local bar. I, of course, jumped at the opportunity. I was excited, because Jane is very new to makeup. She usually wears very little or no makeup.

I wanted to bring out one of Jane’s best features: her magnetic eyes. So, I decided to do a classic smokey eye. It was a dramatic change for Jane, but she really liked it.

At the end, she was very satisfied with the look and got many tips. I want to think that her new bold makeover helped somewhat ;).
