    Before & After: Mom’s Mini Makeover

    Published by Grace | Filed under Arbonne, Makeup Tools

    Mom's Arbonne Makeover - Before

    Before

    Mom's Arbonne Makeover - After

    After

    So my mother, being the wonderful woman she is, allowed me to do a little before and after of her as I practiced my Arbonne makeup skills on her. She asked me to do her makeup for my cousin’s wedding (which was this past Friday), so of course I agreed! She’s been concerned with the uneven skin tone she’s been experiencing, which gets worse in the summer due to the unavoidable sun exposure here in So Cal.

    Here’s what we used for overall coverage:
    - Makeup Primer
    - Perfecting Liquid Foundation w/ SPF 15 in Buff (on wedding day though, I mixed it with some neutral beige since it seemed to be a little too light when she used it at the Bridal Shower)
    - Creme Concealer in Medium
    - Sheer glow highlighter (on apples of the cheek and a dot in the center of the chin)
    - Sheer Pressed Powder in Medium
    - FC5 Mattifying Powder (to help set it)
    - Dusty Rose Blush on cheeks
    - Bronzer to contour under the cheek bone and around the edges of her face

    Eyes:
    - Sheer Glow Highlighter underneath the arch of the brow
    - From lash line to brow line: Snow eye shadow
    - Over entire lid: Sand eye shadow
    - Outer edges / crease, and to fill in the brows: Java eye shadow
    - Ebony eye liner
    - Triple Action Mascara
    - Brow Gel

    Lips:
    - Java lip liner
    - Scarlet lipstick
    - Clear lip polish

    And ta-da! A fully done up mommy :) Aside from her house clothes of course. She now has her own liquid foundation and loves the coverage it gives while still feeling light and breathable on her skin. Thanks, mom, for letting me do my little experiment! You look beautiful, with and without it!

      Stunning!! I love my Arbonne products. They feel so good on your skin, not heavy and thick at all. :D

      She looks awesome! Can’t imagine what could have been even better would be the Re9 anti-aging eye cream along with the the Re9 Instant Lift Gel to make her face more lifted and firmer. Why not give it a go and see a Before/After then?!
