I Hope I Look This Good If I Ever Have Kids

That’s my mom. Sans make-up. Looking every bit the fox at 36 AFTER having three kids. She’s radiant, while the rest of us are featured awkwardly next to her. The rest of us being my brother, sister and I (Dad was probably taking this picture).

I’m the baby with the disgruntled looking face and messy hair – Not a drastic difference from what I currently look like – Which I insist confirms that we are who we will be long before we are aware.

Today, I still make that face and my mother still looks fab. She is also a woman with some serious preferences when it comes to make-up: Bold orange and pink colors are favored on the lips, black eyeliner INSIDE the eyes ALWAYS, and no blush (The rosacea takes care of that).

In honor of Mother’s Day, I’ve selected a few products with my mother’s preferences in mind. Make-up inspired by Mama Villafane…

Lip color: Vegas Volt from MAC
Eyeliner: Black Kohl Shaper from Clinique
Mascara: Almay One Coat Nourishing Mascara *My mother actually uses this. It’s a WONDERFUL product for people with sensitive eyes and skin*

Happy Mothers Day!
