Makeup suggestions for my high school reunion..

Sabrina K.

You are such a beautiful woman - I really like the makeup your wearing in these pictures! I bit of blush and maybe a brighter lip and you would be ready for a night out :)

Thanks Sabrina! No contour? Highlighting? Bronzer? What about my eyes? 😅

Oh my gosh I agree with Sabrina. Walk in there looking like that, people will think you're at the wrong reunion! You look so young and beautiful without a ton of makeup so I would keep it minimal. Maybe a bit of highlighting but you have great features I don't think you need contouring at all.

Oh I'm not big on contour to be honest and your face has a beautiful structure so I don't really think you need it!

Bronzer, sure. Bring a little warmth to your face and a bit of blush to the apples of your cheeks. Highlight along your cheekbone - I also do a little bit of highlight on the tip of my nose - I like how that looks!

Your eyes I like how they look in the picture - very natural but with really long lashes and a bith og eyeliner. I think a bright lip would be more stricking :)

Wow you're beautiful. I think eyeliner is a must because it makes your eyes stand out, maybe a nude eyeshadow look paired with a bright Lip & definitely bronzer and a light pink blush! Again you're so pretty!

Thank you Sabrina and Darlene! I appreciate the suggestions! With so many makeup options, I get lost sometimes. Usually, it doesn't really matter. For this night, I want to do it right.  xox

Darlene, should I contour my eyelids or just nude all the way? I tend to try to go 'smokey' when I go out at night, too.

I agree with the ladies, you can really rock a natural look. I love your complexion! I'd highlight the cheekbones and collarbone with a light hand, add a little creamy blush and give your lips a brighter punch of color...really lovely. I hope you have fun! Sabrina is on point. How will you wear your hair? Soft curls with a bit of swing would be sexy, but still fun and flirty.

Thank you Rozberry! My hair...hahahahaha!...is to the bottom of my neck. I don't do anything to it except add product and it looks like a messy, layered bob. I may try to diffuse it that day to get a little more curl. I'll try to post a pic of my hair...

(I laugh cuz my mom hates it! She says it looks messy! And I'm stubborn!)

Chris, I think some wavy curls...kinda tousled would rule! At first, my mom hated my hair as well. I remember when I first added the black color blocking and was visiting for Christmas. She said, "hmmm...black can be harsh on women as they get older".Omg..ahahaha. My oldest sister spit out her water. I literally had tears in my eyes from laughing. It's become a running joke among my sisters now. God love 'em.

How sweet your mom tried to put it! My mom just blurts it right out (she's 92)!

Roz X.

Oh..she was just warming up. She's a blurter alright. Your mom sounds fiesty. I like her! Be sure to give us a peek at your party look, pretty lady.

I will try, Rozberry! Don't know if you know this, but women of "a certain age" cannot get a good selfie!! My daughter and her friends do them all the time - but my friends and I come out looking...just bad!! Takes about 20 pic to a a decent one! Maybe I'll have my husband take one...thank you!

I am of the 100 selfies to get ONE great one population. I don't think it is age, but instead that life is cruel gifting some of us photogenic faces and others a sense of humor to cope with how truly awful a selfie can be. In all seriousness. I've learned a lot of it is about lighting and angles. Hey! They take an insane amount of photos to get a single cover shot for Sports Illustrated. That makes me feel much better. ;)

I'd go nude! Sorry for the late reply xx

Thanks Darlene! No dress, either?! 😉
@ Rozberry, you're adorable!

You look soooo good Chris! The highligted area is perfect, not at all to light and not at all to big! And I think the lip color is perfect! I would soften the brows just a tad - Other than that you look like a million bucks :)
