Tobin Smith, a well known photographer in Vancouver, decided for mothers day he would get his wife Sarah, the “Yummy Mummy Makeover”. Sarah is naturally beautiful already so it was an easy job for me, but here is what we did: First Sarah started with a full set of eyelash extensions. Since Sarah has a simple style, we choose a natural look for her lashes. Check this out!
Everyone wonders how the process is actually done, so we thought we would take a few photos to show you what goes on during the eyelash extension application:
While lying on a massage table your eyes are protected by Co Q10 treatment patches.
Next, your natural lashes are curled to match your new extensions
Each lash is singled out and an extension is applied directly on top of your natural lash
Lets take a look at Sarah before and After the eyelash extensions.

Sarah absolutely loved her new lashes! You can see what a difference they make, but Sarah’s special day didn’t end there. Next Sarah got to have her makeup done so her Photographer husband could capture the transformation with some photos. Like always we thought we would show you step by step photos of her makeover.
We always start by prepping the skin. In this case I used Armani foundation on Sarah to add an all over glow.
A light application of Mac "Prism" blush to the cheekbones
I used "Bed Head gold shimmer" eyeshadow on Sarah's eyelid to enhance her blue eyes.
A touch of Bobby brown liner to frame her eyes. Guess what no mascara! (Eyelash Extensions virtually eliminate the need for any mascara)
For the final step I used Mac "Spice" lip liner and "Varnish" lip gloss to add to Sarah's all over glow
The trick with Sarah’s makeover was to keep her looking as natural as possible. That is done by using neutral colors, instead of bold colors. The all-over-glow gave Sarah that clean look that tied everything together. Lets take a look at Sarah before her “Yummy Mummy Makeover” and after.

I want to thank Tobin Smith at www.photobinphotography.com for taking the pictures for you all to follow.

I loved the shadow color you used Sarah’s eyes, and was going to ask you what it was called. Where can we buy it?

Hi Farnaz,
The color is a basic gold shimmer from Bed Head. It can be found at any salon that carries Bed Head makeup. Mac also has an identical color in a loose shadow called “Melon”.
