3. CremeWear Blush: $15

This is fantastic, natural looking blush that Mom can use during the day, or bump up application for a more for a sexy, but still natural-looking evening look.Whether the look is demure or dramatic, this is the only blush mom will ever need. A unique, light-to-the-touch formula positively illuminates and celebrates the skin. The advanced optical technology brings an incandescent glow to even so-so complexions. The result: velvety -smooth, natural-looking color. The soothing ingredients conditions and protects.

The nourishing conditioners soften fine lines and hydrate for smoother, younger-looking lips.   It is hypoallergenic and paraben free.
The innovative polymer technology provides lasting comfort, shine and hydration.

5. Baked Finishing Powder: $30

Mom can still have natural glow. With an innovative marbleized Baked Powder that provides a soft, smooth, satin-glow finish. The Baked Powder formula is the best of both worlds, with the creaminess and blend ability of a liquid foundation and the ease of use of a pressed powder. This marbleized powder helps to create the perfect balance for her complexion. The formula works for toning down shine and hiding imperfections, while enhancing skin with a healthy glow - providing an airbrushed quality.

5. Clarisonic Mia II cleanser: $149

I got this for my Mom a few weeks ago and she loves it. I love the berry color, as it looks pretty in the bathroom. This is a great tool for deep cleansing, and can be used a few times a week (more or less depending on your skin). It will help remove dead cells so the efficacious ingredients in Mom’s creams can penetrate deeper and help brighten her skin.

Well don't waste anytime getting a gift this year. Celebrate your mom and don't forget to respect your beauty ladies!

The Best Makeup for Your Eye Color

 

Not sure which shadow will pop those baby blues or which liner will best bring out your gorgeous green? Well, that dust-collecting drawer of untouched shades that were pretty in the package but not in person isn’t doing any of us any good! Read on for the cliff notes to choosing the PERFECT shade based on your eye color.

The key lesson
To accentuate those pretty peepers, pick a palette that is either monochromatic (different shades of the same or very similar colors) or complementary (opposite colors on the color wheel). Read on to get your personal shade recos…

Play up blue eyes
Whether your eyes are crystal blue, aqua blue or grey blue, these are the colors for you:
Shadow:

• Monochromatic – Navy, Grey, Silver
• Complementary – Brown, Peach, Copper

Liner:
Blue eyes pop when rimmed in jet black or chocolate brown for contrast. For a softer look, stick with navy or grey.

Intensify green eyes
To add some oomph to shades of green, stick with this palette:
Shadow:

• Monochromatic – Forest Green, Gold
• Complementary –Pink, Purple, Rose, Mauve 

Liner:
Outline green peepers in shades of brown and bronze.

Enhance brown eyes
For you, my brown-eyed girls, pretty much anything goes! Here are our favorite picks:
Shadow:

• Monochromatic – Black, Brown, Bronze, Taupe
• Complementary – Bold Brights—from Cobalt Blue to Emerald Green, Violets and Lilacs

Liner:
For a bombshell look, go bronze. For sparks of color, try eggplant, jade or emerald liners.

Your homework
Now that you’ve got your cheat sheet, go through your beauty stash and start creating new looks using all monochromatic or entirely complementary colors.  And toss those shades that aren’t getting any play.


What color are your eyes and what shadow-liner combo are you dying to try?
