I can't believe I'm really going to do this...but I am going to post a reeaalll BEFORE (makeup) picture and an AFTER. Very rarely do I ever walk out of the house without atleast mascara, lip gloss, and my eyebrows filled in. It's a routine that must happen for me to be able to function outside of my house. Yes, you might even categorize it as a slight sickness. And the only medicine for it is Bobbi Brown and Revlon!! So this is a big deal that I'm willing to put my bare face out there with no spackle.
Sometimes when I see women that read my blog or clients out and about when I'm with my family or running errands, they constantly apologize for not having their full makeup on! Ladies, I don't judge anyone else that doesn't wear full makeup when they go to pick up a prescription at their local drugstore!! I just do it for myself kind of like other women brush their teeth before walking out of the door, it's just that natural and routine. However I just want to be clear to all, that JennySue doesn't roll out of bed looking flawless, it's all smoke and mirrors...aka, lotsa makeup! That's why I thought it was necessary to show all my fans how much time (atleast 30- 45 minutes) and effort goes into making up my face.
I recently had maternity photos made of myself by my talented friend/photographer Abbey, of Dylan Blue Photography (I will let you all know when I get a sneak peak of my baby mama photos!). I decided to have this done since this is the 3rd time I've been pregnant and have never professionally captured my growing baby bump. I am so excited to see how they turned out because I also got to include my two sons and my husband in the maternity shots,
So this done up (after) look was for my maternity shoot and was a bit more glamorous than my everyday face since I added false lashes with Revlon's Fantasy Lengths self adhesive lashes in style "intensifying" ($5). I love these because they require NO glue and push right on, and pull off easily.
Of course hair and makeup make a huge difference in how a woman can transform herself, just take a look at my before and after! So there's my personal smoke and mirrors example. You see these examples in some of those trashy celeb mags, that yes I read, of stars caught without their makeup. I find it really interesting how plain Jane most female celebs look without makeup and also find it slightly refreshing how normal these women really are!! I mean check out Miss Kim K. with and without- she's a beautiful lady no doubt, but the makeup and self tanner certainly don't hurt her cause huh?!
If dog is man's best friend, I think for women the equivalent is makeup!!

No way is that Kim K with no make up? :O
You look stunning :) xx
On your photos it was the hair that stood out most on the before and after. The Kim K. photo was a drastic change. But that is what you get with $500 in spray tan and make-up.
Yes that is Miss Kardashian sans makeup leaving a gym I think. Pretty unfair someone got that picture of her huh??
And yes Sharon, I agree, a nice pricey spray tan does wonders for a girls look! I did my hair myself (def not my specialty!) so thanks for noticing it standing out!
and much more gorgeous 'after' pictures to come!!!
just now seeing the blog makeover!! I love it!!
A little makeup does wonders!! You look gorgeous! I want to try some falsies!! Can't wait to see your pictures!! Do you have names for your daughter?
Even as one of your best friends, I always want my makeup to look its best when seeing you! ;-) And of course, you look gorgeous even without makeup! I can't wait to see the maternity shots!!!!
Mary007, no definite names yet! I think this time we're going to have to see our little one and name her as soon as we meet her. You will know very soon though I am sure!
