Painting my Momma Pretty

My mother is gorgeous.
I thank my parents for my great genes, but especially my mom for giving me her great metabolism and tiny frame.

At 58, and going through her life with, “Out of Trend Slate’n Blue” eyeshadow, “One Swipe Each” mascara, “Just Nothing but Flush” blush, “Stay Off” lipstick; and nothing else, she felt she needed a change.

Having a great friend, Lindsey Forrest Bouffard, who owns Painting You Pretty is an amazing, professional makeup artist. She’s worked with celebrities, makeup on set, backstage at fashion week, and for various red carpet events. Living only five minutes away from my mom, I thought what a wonderful Mother’s Day gift.

Nick and I drove down to Gilbert for the weekend to spend some quality time with the family. I immediately made an appointment with Lindsey to give my mom a one on one makeup “how to”.

My mom looks great even without makeup. But what fun is that? With Lindsey’s makeup magic, no distractions and being 100% invested in my mom, she brought everything out that is already lovely in her. Her tag line, “because women should feel pretty” is true! Shouldn’t we all feel this way everyday?

My mother asked how many “house fraus” (oh, mother…) have their own personal makeup artists? Not only an awesome one but a sweet, wonderful and a down to earth one at that.
