I only think the makeup looks 'too much' if you compare it with the completely bare face. I mean, if you saw her on the street, and you didn't see the before shot, I think it would look fine. I think it's a great job, the make up looks stunning, and your mum has beautiful eyes. I would probably wear a more neutral eyeshadow, or a more neutral lipstick if it was me, but I like the overall look.
