Disclaimers:
-Yeah, my brows are gross. I know. (And there is a cut above them currently that appears as a super long eyebrow hair. Wow, so pretty I can't even stand it.

)
-I didn't have time to edit photos, so I look sort of washed out in some pics.....but probably not as much as you would think, I'm super fair skinned.
-I'm still getting the hang of taking makeup pictures, any tips on how to make the eyeshadow appear the actual shade would be fabulous! It always appears so much less vibrant on "film".
-My lips are asymmetrical. Thanks to a lovely permanent fat lip from dirtbike accident as a kid. I'm a touch sensitive about it. Any product reccomendations on "one side lip plumpers" will be welcome with open arms though!

I'm a mom, so most days I grab for the subtle shades or my daughter tells me I look like Rainbow Brite.

I'm kind of curious as to what you expected now! haha. But thank you

I guess I'm just hypersensitive to posting my picture online because I'm so aware of my own flaws, you know?

I know, the lighting really washed me out and I didn't edit them. I'm still experimenting with settings to take pictures of makeup, haven't quite got it down yet-- doesn't help that I'm super pale to begin with! haha. I'm going to work on it today since I have the day off.

Your eyes are incredible. Your lips being asymmetrical is very hard to notice

They look fine.

This is beautiful and you are beautiful.

WOW! I was also expecting the worst....LOL!
And then BAM! Gorgeousness! U have fabulous eyes and great skin! Don't be shy mama!
And what's wrong with your lips? I think the bottom lips should be bigger than the top personally! They look fine to me!
