I know the glow exists.
I have seen it with my own eyes…
although, there’s one time in particular that I did not see it…
In the mirror, my entire pregnancy.
Mostly I just saw a lot more puffiness…maybe that was my glow?
Who knows? At any rate I did come up with some tricks for makeup for my ever-changing pregnant face
My beautiful little sister Celeste is 25 weeks pregnant and sweet enough to let me demonstrate on her.. in her case we don’t have to fake it.
She is one of the glowers.
But, we sure can capitalize on that aura BLING.
My main focus with this makeup was to highlight and contour to really accentuate the cool stuff that pregnancy is offering her.
For instance her cheeks are fuller than usual.
Full cheeks are THE BEST.
They are youthful and pleasant and feminine.
And with some contour you can make those cheek bones look CRAZY good.
Plus you can go a little heavier on the eye makeup and do more of a strikingly arched brow without looking harsh. That softness in the skin allows you so much leeway.
{Click here for a video tutorial}
I used theBalm Bahama Mama Bronzer under her cheek bones on the sides of her nose under her lip (to make it pout out) and around the edges of her face.
Then I arched her brow with Anastasia Brow Powder Duo Brunette
Next I used Maybelline Dream Bouncy Blush in Fresh Pink
Then I highlighted her under her eyes and unto the top of her cheek to the sides of her nose, on her chin and on her nose with
Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch Highlighting Concealer in Ivory
Lined the inner rim of her eyes and on the lash line of her lid with
L’Oreal Voluminous Smoldering Eyeliner in Black
And then smudged that out with a cone brush and the dark brown from SEPHORA COLLECTION Moonshadow Baked Palette – In The Nude
PS I made a video tutorial of this look HERE
I used CoverGirl Perfect Blend Pencil in Mink
Speaking of Nude Nuances, I did fine ONE left at my local Walgreens, since so many of you were sad you couldn’t buy it I couldn’t really feel good about not snagging that joyous lipstick and giving it away. So I wanted to do a quick contest (nothing crazy) just comment that you want it and (if you already haven’t) like my page on Facebook. The giveaway will end at Midnight on Wednesday the 15th of August.
love the makeover and would love to try the lipstick!

I’ve been looking for the perfect nude lipstick for 10+ years! (if that doesn’t make me feel like I’m getting old……)!!
I’d love to win, but will search for this shade if I don’t!
I wanted to also ask a question,
When contouring the nose, what hade should you use? I’ve tried “warmth” from bare minerals, but feel it makes me look dirty, and have tried my bronzers, but not getting the slimming effect I’m looking for! Your shade choice is fantastic! What are you using??!!!!
I love this look and would love that lipstick

I hope I win it!!
I found you because of Pinterest and I literally read every single post in your blog over 2 days because I was obsessed. Then, I spent the next couple of days buying products you recommended (yay-hoo Ulta!) and a day realizing that Nude Nuances was limited. Ebay did have it btw, but I wasn’t about to plop down 15 bucks for it. I am a thrifty girl after all. And the cherry on top of it all was that I did my girlfriend’s makeup for her wedding on Saturday and she looked exquisite. Perfect! Thank you so much for the inspiration.
PS- I am not on facebook, otherwise I would totally like you. True Story.
I want it!!! Pick me, pick me, pick me!!!!!!!!!

Celeste is radiant before & after! She has always been such a sweet, kind-hearted, shining star. She will make a wonderful mommy!! So excited for her! Love your blog & all the great tips!

Want it! Thanks!
I would love to win the Nude Nuances. I have been in quest for the perfect nude lip color, and I can’t find the perfect one, or the Nude Nuances for that matter.

I love that lip color!!
I love your blog! I also love the before and after picture of your sister, so beautiful! I would love this lipstick! Thanks!
It looks like a beautiful color. How does it look on you? I have a similar skin color as you do. I would love to try this lipstick, as I don’t have a nude color, but don’t want to take it from someone else if it will look horrible on me. It’s so hard to find a good nude color for darker olive skin! Thanks for the giveaway, I really enjoy your blog.
Love her eyes! Beautiful! I would love to be entered in the lipstick giveaway! I think I liked you on facebook like a year ago
I would love to have that lip color – I’ve looked everywhere! I keep buying “almost-but-not-quite-right” colors.
The before and after on your sis looks amazing!!! Her look reminds me of Charlize Theron for some reason… maybe the light eyes. She looks red carpet ready!!
You do magic! You are an amazing make up artist and do wonderful things on your hair! I live your blog and all your tips and video tutorials!
I would love that lipstick! It looks natural and amazing on your little sister, consider me interested.
You did an amazing job! I want to do make-up like that. Aaaannnd I would like the lip stuff, please. Gracias.

I looked everywhere for Maybelline’s Nude Nuances because of all of your posts, I was going to ask where exactly you have to get it! It looks fantastic in every look! I love it
After my toddler being sick for 3 weeks (final diagnosis, pneumonia) & me being sick for 2 weeks (final diagnosis, “the crud) & the chapped lips that come with all this & hitting the 30 week mark tomorrow I could SERIOUSLY use something to bring out that pregnancy glow that has been alluding me lately. Would LOVE the lipstick. Thanks for the tutorial! I have a shower next weekend & thinking I’m going to practice this look.
I WANT IT…..
Her eyes look amazing!! I would love to try the lip color as well!

I want to try it! It’s amazing!
I would love to try it!
Want it! Looks beautiful!! I love the contouring on her nose… I’ve got to figure that out for myself…
I was also wondering if the nude nuances is the color you and your sis used in the long hair tutorial, with the super cute star wars and batman sweaters that nobody can have..:(?! I love you girls makeup that day! And Celeste truly does glow!! I gotta have that lip color!!:) and I would like you on Facebook, but I don’t have a Facebook!:( but I like you!!
First time pregnant would love to capitalize on this so called glow that women get when pregnant. I haven seen it yet still trying to navigate the morning sickness.
All pregnancy ever gave me was serious acne! Would love the lipstick:)
WOW- Like MOVIE STAR WOW! fantastic makeup job. GORG.
Question for you Cara, do you actually use a highlighter or was it just a bronzer and blush on Celeste? Loved the look, She looks great!!
Question for you Cara, do you actually use a highlighter or was it just a bronzer and blush on Celeste? Loved the look, She looks great!! Can I also sign up for the give away?
Holy moly! SO glad you asked that I TOTALLY left that out! Thank you so much for bringing that to my attention! I used Dream Lumi Highlighting concealer! Just added that instruction to the list! Thanks again!
Wow! The woman in the picture was very pretty to begin with but the make up was done so gorgeous that she looks like she should be famous. Me next! Me next! I really like how you put down everything that you used to create this look. Only one draw back for me… I may know what you used but I am definitely no make up artist.
I love this and wish I was half as good as you.
Thanks so much! You totally don’t have to be a makeup artist to recreate this look! If you watch my tutorial for smokey eye makeup and substitute the dark eyeshadow for a lighter brown it’s basically the same (that way you can get step by step instruction on video!)
love the lipstick! I have large eyes and have tried and tried to create the “smoky” look, but it never turns out like this!
Try my smokey eye date night tutorial! It honestly looks good on anyone especially big eyes! Look at Mila Kunis she has the biggest eyes ever and ALWAYS wears a smokey eye!
Gorgeousness!!
I have a question about your picture, though. Could you tell me how you got the Pinterest buttons to show-up when you hover over the picture? I think it’s really neat and would love to use it on my own (recipe) blog.
Thank you! It’s a really cool plug in I found here’s the link http://pinbuttonattraction.com/?aff=9600
Thanks!
love the look! would love to know how you got such a amazing arch on the brow? did you pluck or is it simpley shadow?
Want it paleese !
I would love to try the lipstick!!!
Any chance you would be willing to redo this look while videotaping? I am getting married in less than two months and I would love to capitalize on your skills.
I totally agree, it should be a video tutorial! I will get on it! Thanks and congrats!
Love it! Congrats to your sis, and I would lov to try the lip color, too. SHe looks AMAZING!
Cara you did a great job…..as always! Your sister is beautiful, I love how the smokey eyes made her blue eyes pop! I wish you could do makeover on me!
I would LOVE to enter to win! Your sister looks AMAZING! You do an awesome job!! I wish you could do my friends wedding!!! Thank you!!
Kali
She looks GORGEOUS! Before I spend that kind of money on the bronzer, do you happen to know if it will have the same effect on fair skin? If not, what would you recommend?
Love the makeup and tips! This soon to be new mommy would love that lipstick too!
I was wondering about the bronzer on fair skin as well!
What did you use for foundation? You can tell in the picture that you put something on as foundation….what did you use?
I actually didn’t use one on her. What you see that looks like foundation is the highlighting concealer and the bronzer. I probably would have used one but I didn’t have her color and as it turns out I didn’t need it anyway:) If you are looking for a foundation, though, I posted about them today!
Can I ask…. how did you apply that blush and the highlighter? Fingers? Sponge? It looks flawless on your sister and I know I don’t get the same results myself. Thanks!
Yes! Next week I’m doing a vid tutorial on exactly how to get this look!!
Very cool… thanks! I did go back and look at many of your vids (this was my first time here, via Pinterest) and got a pretty good feel for your method now too.
Nice blog and great vids.
I’m a visual learner and would love to SEE how you put the makeup on her face.
Love this look! What kind of foundation did you use??
Awesome!!! I am a mommy of four and need a makeover lol….if you could only imagine!! She looks beautiful! How awesome
What brand is the lipstick you are giving away? By the way I found you on Pinterest and I thought it was a picture of Victoria Beckham. Your sister is beautiful. And congratulations on your pregnancy.
She looks amazing. Any chance you could make a Youtube video tutorial?!
YES! I am working on one for this week!
That’s the best news I’ve heard today! You did such a great job! Your sister is GORGEOUS!
Love your work! great job
I’m loving the lipstick!
Would love someone to come do my makeup like that everyday.
I just cannot believe the difference it made. I would love for you to do my wedding makeup one day!!!! Where are you located? I am most serious about you doing my makeup, honey! What an amazing, astounding transformation, your make fingers must perform miracles!!! Thank you for the site.
–Sara
She looks amazing! How absolutely beautiful and uh I would LOOOVVVEE that lipstick. You have inspired me to take some more time on my makeup
Thanks!
I want to try this bad! Looks amazing! I have a question- at what step do u apply all over face powder? I need it to even out my skin tone. Thanks!
I would do the all over face powder 2nd to last and then do the shimmer powder very last! Thanks so much!
Looks gorgeous! Is there anyway you could do a video tutorial? I’m new to your site, so I’m not sure if you do those, but I’m 25 weeks pregnant and could use some tips!
Have you ever considered doing this on a youtube video for those of us who are make-up challenged?
Ditto on the video tutorial! Her eyes are AMAZING and I want to know exactly how you did it! Breath-taking!
I would love to try the lipstick! Also, thanks for the tips on the make-up; I will definitely be using these for an upcoming wedding I’m in!!
What did you use to cover the face? bronzer?
check out this blog
http://www.drpinkzebra.blogspot.com
I wish I could do my eye makeup like that! It looks awesome
you totally need to do a video of how you do this, it is remarkable!
I would love to see a video. Thanks!
Love your blog!
would this be a good wedding look? It’s an indoor wedding so we’ll need the face to look good with flash photography.
I usually dont wear too much make up. Its usually just eyeliner and lipgloss if i do i would love.to try the lipstick.so i could.wear it when im feeling natural and when i go.out. I would like to learn new tecniques for makeup
Are you using foundation?
I want it!
I love it!! I used these tips and it looked great…even with my limited skills! I used a couple of different products since I had them on hand. I used Graftobian Lip Color in Nude and it looked amazing. (http://www.paintandpowderstore.com/proddetail.php?prod=PPS-0108) I love the texture and colors of their lipsticks! And I’m now hooked on Maybelline’s Dream Bouncy Blush in Fresh Pink!! Thanks!
Love this tutorial! It even made me – a 52 year old tired teacher – look good!
I am sure you looked gorgeous!
Love these product reco’s, thank you! The Maybelline concealer rivals the Make Up Forevere HD Concealer I was using, love this alternative! I am also in love with the Sephora lip color Tenderness, eek! Thank you thank you!
Thanks Eileen! Don’t you just love that lipstick it’s sooo creamy and it smells really good too!
There is less contrast in the left picture. So the nice result effect in the right picture is a (little) bit over-enlightened.
I may have gone a little overboard on the bronzer. I look like tanning mom. But I’ll keep practicing! If I can do it in four minutes, I swear I’ll actually start wearing make up again!
I’m actually saddened by what you’ve done to your naturally beautiful sister. You haven’t enhanced her features, you’ve created a mask that completely obscures who she is. I found this post through Pinterest and the comment I saw most was that no one recognized her as the woman before. Many were incredulous that it was the same woman. I love makeup but not to hide what I really look like but rather to enhance. Her face has more character, softness, and natural beauty in the Before pic. It’s sad that culture has decided (and that too many have bought into the idea) that you are only a beautiful woman if you follow this shallow ideal that completely strips your uniqueness from your face.
Oh. My. Goodness. She must feel like a million bucks. I am one who loves to play with makeup, though. I don’t think of it as a “mask” (I get what you’re saying, Lauren). It’s just for play and for a bit of fun, for something totally different.
I think she looks beautiful and she does have that glow, including in the before picture. I’m with you, OP. I never glowed, I just puffed out, LOL.
I want the arched eye brows!
I looked at the Anastasia Brow Powder. There are two colors in the pack. Did you use both of them? I have never done any color on my brows before. Thanks!
Beautiful eyes!! I love it. And I sure would love the lipstick!
I love your how to! But im a more fair skin tone, like a pale ish pink. Can you suggest lighter products I can use instead of the darker ones (cus you are much more tan than I am. And I don’t wanna end up with mis matched skin!) thanks!
