Mom’s Pretty in Pink – a Make-Up Trifecta

Mother’s day is less than 2 weeks away. Ack! Are you ready? Here’s an easy mineral makeup gift ensemble for Mom. I created these new recipes based on my Mom’s taste. She’s a pink and plum type of gal (do you remember the pink paint posts here and here? Well, her house is pretty in pink). So, naturally, I went with a light plum eye shadow, light pink blush and glossy pink lip shine. I know she’ll love it. What Mom doesn’t adore handmade gifts on Mother’s Day?
