My brother finally tied the knot with his childhood sweetheart. Last weekend, my mom finally got the chance to walk the isle for her son's wedding. She's attended atleast 50 weddings as a godmother, I believe. (Bongga talaga ni Inay, in demand!) So this one is indeed very special for her! Of course, I would not let the chance pass and I assigned my self to do her hair and makeup. :)
Read on as I share how I did mom's makeover... ♥
My lovely mom's name is Whelma. =)
As time went by, and as she pursues her 24/7 job as a mom to 8 kids, she has started having droopy eyelids. To counteract droopy lids, it is very important to line the lash line as thick and as natural as possible, making sure to finish the line a little before the corner ends to avoid illusion of a more droopy eyes. The liner should be little thicker at that part. In applying eye shadow, I applied a matte brown shade from her lash line and lids to and extended it up a little above her crease. This makes the droopy part recede. Then, I applied an shimmer ivory eyeshadow at the inner thirds of her lid to open it up. I curled her lashes, applied tons of mascara and cut a single false lash into two and I attached it on the outer part of her lash line. I also applied a shimmer highlight on her brow bone to lift them up. I lined her (tattooed) lower lash line with a light brown eyeshadow powder. I carefully defined her (tattooed) brows with a lighter shade to make the look appear brighter and younger.
Finished it up with basic contouring and highlight, flushed pink blush applied above the apples of her cheeks and a light and bright pink lipstick. I used MAC Pink Nouveau on her.
And as for mom's hair, I did blow dry and flat ironed it. Teased the back crown part to add a little volume and lift. Parted her bangs to a side, framing her face.

DeleteI really like what you did for your mom's make up! My mom is also a single mom since my dad died in 2009, and she also has 8 children like your mom! I am the eldest. :) She often asks me to do her make up as well but I get nervous because I might give her racoon eyes... haha I guess it takes a lot of practice. :) BTW po I added a link to you blog on my side bar (My blog list), i hope its ok? so that my readers can see your blog too. :)
