My mom visited me over the weekend. In addition to hanging out (and eating good food) I had the chance to pore through her traveling makeup collection. I thought it would be fun to share some of her favorites in a post! For the face, she uses Estee Lauder Day Wear BB Cream SPF 35. She purchased this for summertime and traveling since it's easy to wear and has high SPF. The Chanel Poudre Universelle Compact in 150 Jasmin is a nice finishing powder with some shimmer that can be used like a highlight. The Sephora Professionel Airbrush is great for applying powder or blending another foundation on top of the BB cream. Her current favorite eye palette is the Giorgio Armani Spring 2012 eye palette, which has a selection of sheer purple, mint, gold, and pebble. Purple is her favorite and is often combined with purple eyeliner as well. The lavender pink color of Maybelline Dream Bouncy blush in Orchid Hush complements a purple color scheme quite well. For lips, she brought along Chanel Rouge Coco in Peregrina over which she layers Laura Mercier Lip Glaze in Soft Pink. Mom really liked my MAKE UP FOR EVER Aqua Brow in Ash (formula reviewed here) while she was here and might get one for herself. We do share makeup and some commonalities in taste, however our color palettes and tastes are a bit different due to differences in age and skin undertone. Thanks for reading! What kind of makeup does your mom carry in her bag? How are your tastes in makeup similar and/or different?
Love, Dovey.
Awww how cute! Your mom has great taste in makeup! Mine stopped wearing makeup years ago, but I know she has much cooler undertone and apparently used to rock blue eyeshadows (that or they were just popular in the 70's/80's). She did like brownish rose lipsticks as much as I do though :)
ReplyDeleteHi Sunny, I love that your mom wore blue back in the day. I still love a little blue now, so I can relate :)
DeleteThis was a cute post! Real quirky to focus on a parent's stash! I dig. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks FT&C!
DeleteWould you recommend the Sephora brush for BB Cream? I've been looking for a brush for my BB cream :)
ReplyDeleteI have the same brush
DeleteI do not think it will be good for bb cream.
Paddle brush might be good for bb.
you mom has some super taste, my mom's entire make up bag is just stuff i have given her! lol
ReplyDeleteYour mom has some GOOD taste in makeup! :P I really love that Estee Lauder Daywear BB Cream too--I think it's the best tinted moisturizer/BB cream product I've tried in a while. Don't know why I haven't purchased a bottle yet but I plan on doing it soon! Also love the soft, pretty colors in that GA palette!
ReplyDeleteGood taste definitely runs in the family!

Yay for hanging out with your mom! Such a cute post, I really like your mom's color choices/palette. What pretty pale colors! :)
ReplyDeletehow cute!! your mom has such great taste. is that where you get yours from? :)
ReplyDeleteI love it, your Mum or should I say Mom has such great taste! My mum hardly wears face makeup, I recently bought her a blush for the first time and she hit pan on it, I was so excited! I think I have to bring her over to the dark world of cosmetic loving, it is too much fun for her to miss out!
ReplyDeleteI like you mum's taste :D Especially that GA Spring palette. So pretty :)
ReplyDeleteThis is such a sweet post to do... I think your mum sounds very elegant from her choices.
ReplyDeleteThis post was really fun :) My mom has always liked Mary Kay makeup. She usually forgoes whenever she can, but she uses their skincare and foundation. She loves Benefit boxed blushes and Fresh Sugar Lip balms :) She's never been very into eye shadow, but she likes those giant bronzers Estee Lauder releases in the Summer.
ReplyDeleteYour mom needs to talk to my mom about makeup must-haves! Such a cute post!
ReplyDeleteAwww, your mom is so fun. Mine has only a powder foundation, one lipstick and one eyeliner. I should show her this post. :)
ReplyDeleteMy mom very rarely wears makeup. When she does wear makeup it is just a bit of blush & lip color. Very occasionally she may wear a bit of eyeshadow. My love of makeup I picked up along the way from other sources. I'm curious - did you get your love of makeup from her or have you influenced her makeup? Great post!
ReplyDeleteYour mom has some very pretty items there! :) My mom is way more basic when it comes to makeup than I am--she wears one lipstick almost all the time and she skips eye makeup altogether! I feel shamefully high-maintenance in comparison lol :)
ReplyDeletefun! I like this feature :) My mom never wears makeup, although she did wear some in the early nineties... Now she only wears it if she has to go to a wedding, because she feels like she has to lol.
