A Heartfelt Greeting to My Mom: A Winter Wonder Week Special

As I sit down to write this article, I am filled with so much love and gratitude for my mom. She has always been there for me, supporting me through thick and thin, and being a constant source of comfort and strength in my life. Growing up, I was bullied quite a bit, and it was only after coming home crying that my mom would sit with me, listen to my troubles, and offer words of encouragement. She has always been my rock, my confidante, and my best friend.

I remember the first time our family found out about my YouTube channel during Christmas dinner six years ago. My brother had stumbled upon one of my videos online and couldn't resist sharing it with us. I was mortified, but my mom's reaction was anything but negative. She walked into my room, where I had locked myself up, and exclaimed, "Honey, this is incredible! What you're doing is so incredible, and I'm so incredibly proud of you!" Her words still give me goosebumps to this day.

My mom has always been a huge inspiration in my life. She has an effortless sense of style that I admire greatly. One of her favorite makeup products is the Zoeva 227 blending brush, which she loves using to create natural, everyday looks. When it comes to highlighting, she swears by a common round brush and a highlighter shade that gives her face a subtle glow. She also uses a blue liner on her waterline to make her eyes look even bluer.

For this special winter wonder week edition of my channel, I wanted to pay tribute to my mom in the best way possible: with makeup! I decided to create an entire look using only her favorite products and techniques. I started by applying the Zoeva 227 blending brush to add a subtle highlight to my cheekbones and brow bone. Next, I used a blue liner to define my eyes and give them a more open, awake appearance.

Moving on to the rest of my face, I added a swipe of mascara to make my lashes pop. My mom has two mascaras in her makeup stash that she loves using to add drama to her look. I'm also using one of her favorite highlighters to add a touch of warmth to my skin tone. The last step was to apply a lip topper – specifically, the rose gold lip topper from Zoeva – which my mom has been saving for a special occasion.

Throughout this process, I couldn't help but think about how much I love and appreciate my mom. She is the most beautiful person in my world, inside and out. Our favorite moments are spent going out for dinner together, sharing stories and laughter over good food and wine. My mom has always been my partner in crime when it comes to trying new restaurants and cuisines.

go that's better okay some brow gel I'm so thankful she has this to bring back a little bit of life into those hairs okay let me add my second brow alright so that are those are some uneven oh okay for eyes I did see it primer Laura Mercier what is this i basics flax so when i think of my mom and i shadow there's one thing that I will never forget from my childhood and that is that my mom used to have duo eyeshadows so it were too little eye shadows in one little compact and she would always have two of the duo's one of the duo's would be a bronze and champagne duo so one side was a beautiful shimmering like darkish bronze color and the other side was a beautiful champagne shimmer and I always remember her applying the dark bronzy shimmering shade on her lid and then blending it as far as we could call it blending then blending it into her crease and then she would put the shimmery champagne color on her brow bone and that I remember so vividly from my childhood that my mom always always used to wear like that I also remember that for her fancy days for her nights out or for like a special event she had another one of those duos which was I believe like an emerald turquoise color with a blue and she would put the blue underneath so on her lower lashline and to this day my mom will often apply a blue liner to her waterline to kind of because my mom has the most beautiful intense blue eyes hence why I'm wearing these blue contacts today to kind of pay homage to her but my mom has the most beautiful blue eyes and I always remember that she would put the blue shadow underneath and I'd be like oh my god your eyes are so blue and still to this day like I said she will wear a blue liner like in her waddle and to sort of get the same effect I taught her not to go as like heavy with the blue underneath anymore so I really like this Becca palette that I gave her a couple of weeks ago and like I said she has not dipped into this and if I have to choose like one color that was difficult I had a duo that I talked about was this color right here would this color right here so this one and this one was like a little duo together I just remember that it would always be on her vanity and sometimes I would sneak in and like kind of apply to my eyes and hoping that she wouldn't notice but she always noticed okay so I'm going to apply that one shade that I talked about the bronzer shade this blending is gonna be a challenge I need to gift my mom a blending brush like a zoeva 227 ASAP I love my mom so much my mom has always been there for me like I got bullied as a kid so much and I would come home crying and the only person that was able to sort of like lift my spirits and make me feel good again was my mom and my mom has always had my back in

I'm so incredibly proud of you and why the hell you're speaking English I can always count on mama tutorials I can always count on her and having my back and supporting me and giving me the best advice and sometimes I don't even have to say anything and she will know what I feel or what I'm thinking or what I you know how I'm handling things all right now I may use this middle shade right here the highlighter shade and do a little bit of highlighting with it also putting that on my brow bone time for a mascara and she has two in a little stash I am so using these lashes to save this look oh here's the blue liner so my mom always uses the Mac technical liner in smooth blue every day on her waterline to open up those eyes and make her eyes look even more blue so I am gonna do that
