Today I want to share a very special shoot with you all. This shoot is special to me because I am dedicating this blog/shoot to one of my best friends from high school, Olivia Bullard. Olivia has always been a very grounded woman with a kind heart and a beautiful soul. On top of being a Stunning half Korean, half African American female, she is a sweet and nurturing young mom to her beautiful daughter Leila.
I recently had the opportunity to glam up my Bestie and her daughter for a Mother-Daughter Photo-shoot where we got to capture some truly special bonding moments of this sacred relationship. I’m so delighted to share what we captured with you all, as well as share a few beauty secrets to help you achieve a simple and elegant soft glam look on yourselves this Mother’s Day!
Lets start with a few sneak peeks of the sweet moments we captured, and then we will move on to glam tips, tricks and secrets… Shhh! 😉
Mother-Daughter Secrets and Tea Parties… 😉
Okay, now that you got a little sneak peek of what’s to come, lets start with the Mommy Makeover! I’m so excited to share this transformation with you all because I truly believe you can try this look over the weekend when visiting your mothers or while being a pampered mother yourself! 😉
The process pictured below is a very basic model of contour and highlight with a touch of soft glam to warm up the skin and eyes in the Spring/Summer weather. There are many methods and patterns you can use to give your face a more sculpted 3-dimensional look, but for beginners, its best to start with a very simple outline until you get the hang of it and see the results!

Eyes…
Applying a touch of soft eye shadow is always a great way to enhance your entire appearance. But before diving in, I wanted to share a couple eye charts to help you better understand eye-shadow application based on your eye shape!
Eye base: MAC Paint Pot in Layin’ Low
Shadows: Morphe Brushes 35W Warm Color Palette & Too Faced Cosmetics Chocolate Bar Palette
Liner: Stilla Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eyeline

Here’s a great Lash Chart for those who are unsure what shape will look good on their eyes:
Lips…
Liner, Lip stain, Lip-gloss
I like to line the lips first with a slightly deeper shade, then fill in with a lip stain or lipstick, blend and add a touch of gloss on top for a smooth lasting and lush lip application.
