Okay, this January is my mother's 45th birthday, and I want to surprise her. I'm flying to see her (from CA to IL)--and she doesn't know it. I want to surprise her by giving her a makeover myself. I've taken her to the counters before, and she absolutely hates it. This way, I figured maybe she wouldn't be so apprehensive if I did her makeup for her. Here's the problem: I don't know where to start!!! She basically needs an overhaul of her makeup because her makeup (of the very little she has, that is) is VERY outdated and old. She still owns makeup from her high school days!
Okay, so here are my questions:
1. What are some good colors/types of products for her? (she has oily skin, VERY pink undertones, dirty blonde hair, blue eyes, glasses, and she's worried about lines and her aging skin)
2. I don't want to overwhelm her with a ton of products, so what are the basics that I should get her? I know she LOVES eyeshadows and lipstick. Other than that, she wears liquid foundation. She never wears mascara, eyeliner, blush, or anything else.
If it helps, I have a picture of her. (obviously, she's the one on the right!) Thanks!!
