Pregnant and Proud!

I had this very special client a month ago.  She happens to be a very good friend of mine as well.  She came to me to get her makeup done for her baby shower.  She was 36 weeks pregnant at the time.  What an amazing woman!  This is her third child and she looks radiant.  She gave birth on New Year's Eve to a baby girl, her second.  What a blessing it is to have this new addition to her family. 

Her look:  Pregnancy is definitely a time when hormones go crazy and our skin is not spared.  Sometimes pregnant women are susceptible to patchy skin or dark blotches in the facial area.  A great makeup base is key.  Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize!!  What I did with my client/friend was apply darker foundation on the outer areas of her face especially the forehead and blended lighter shades towards the middle of her face along with a few tricks with concealer and corrector.  This allows the face to still maintain its natural coloring, but covers the blotches caused by wacky hormones as well as highlight areas of focus such as the eyes.
