Makeup, Skin Care and Hair Care Tips My Mom Taught Me!

For most of us its our Mom's who teach us about makeup and skin care. I will never forget the day my Mom told me I needed to pluck my eyebrows. Lets just say Brooke Shields had nothing on me! Well I didn't want to pluck my overgrown brows. So my sweet, very petite Mama and my younger sister who had been plucking hers for months, jokingly held me down for the "procedure"! Boy am I so glad they did! It literally opened up my face! I thought I would share some tips my Mom taught me when I was learning all things beauty! Some tips you've probably heard a million times before some may be new to you but for my Mama and her two girls these were the basics growing up!

~ When you are at home keep your bangs off your for head and face.
