She is a 30-something "stay-at-home" Mom to 5 little girls, ranging in age from 10 to 3 months. She also cares for other children in her home. Needless to say, she is a VERY busy woman.
"Timbri" has shoulder-length hair that is very dry and thin and she very seldom wears any makeup. She wanted to change that, so this is what we did:
1. We started by lopping off 10 inches of hair. We then took the hair clippers and, using an extended No. 8 guard, we cut the rest of her hair to all one length.
2. We darkened her hair about 1 to 2 shades from her natural color. ("Timbri" is very light-complected and the darker hair will help highlight her face.)
3. We shaped her eyebrows, which helped frame and define her eyes.
4. We then applied her makeup. We first evened out her skin color by mixing an ivory liquid foundation with some face moisturizer ("Timbri" has very dry skin). We went back over it with a dusting of mineral foundation to help set the foundation and make it last longer. FOR HER EYES: we curled her top eyelashes, applied a medium brown eyeshadow on the lid, lined the upper eyelids ONLY with a navy blue eyeliner pencil, applied brown-black mascara to the upper eyelashes ONLY, applied a gold eyeshadow under her eyebrows for highlight and filled in her eyebrows with a light blond eyebrow pencil. FOR HER LIPS: we applied a pearly pink tinted lip balm as a base and topped it with a melon-colored lipgloss.
As you can probably see in the pictures, "Timbri" is very fortunate to have a gorgeous natural flush to her cheeks, making blush unnecessary. Her lips have a nice, even shape so we did not need to line them.
You may be wondering why we only applied the eye makeup to her upper eye and left the lower eye bare. That is because we did not want any mascara or eyeliner smudging under the eyes, thus creating dark undereye circles. Our reason for using brown-black mascara on "Timbri" instead of the standard black is because she is so light that the black would look too harsh.
Her hair now takes just about one minute to take care of and her makeup only takes maybe 5 or 10 minutes and she looks more sophisticated and confident. Doesn't she look amazing?!?!?!
