Evan is the easiest b&a to do, LOL.
He's 3 months old in the first picture. And he's the 11 year old linebacker with the massive shoulders in the second. :-)
As I was reading the comments at CHBM, I saw that Adventures in Babywearing is having a contest. They want bloggers to show themselves without makeup and before any retouching and then after.
*gulp*
So here's my entry.
The Before picture is a real smile. All gums. No makeup (obviously. I'm Oprah ugly in that picture) and no retouching. The After is me with makeup (YAY!), Gray contact lenses, a fake smile and some color added to my face.
The weird thing is, I don't usually wear makeup. So the Before is what everyone sees, LOL. I'll have to remember not to smile for real in public...
Oh, you are gorgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteSteph
Thanks for only paying attention to the After photo, LOL.
ReplyDeleteI think you look great in both of them. Lucky girl! ;)
ReplyDeleteawe cool idea comparing it w/ a make up photo 2. You look fantastic both ways. And your kids look like such hoots ;-) a lot of fun. Beautiful complections.
ReplyDeleteThankfully, the Lord has only seen fit to bless me with one child, LOL.
ReplyDeleteHmm... yet another blogger who looks good even without makeup. Perhaps it was the toothpaste dripping from my mouth?
ReplyDeleteThat adorable baby boy grew into a handsome young man. Not surprising with such a beautiful Mommy, even with no makeup!
ReplyDeleteYour son is/was adorable! Don't you just wish you could put bricks on his head to stop him from growing anymore?
ReplyDeleteAnd while you do look GORGEOUS in the 2nd picture, you look just as good in the first, especially since your smile is genuine.
:)
What exactly is "Oprah ugly"? The good thing about not regularly wearing makeup is that when you actually do, everybody is like "WOW you look great!" I think the before picture is Gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteBoth pictures are great!! I do get the Oprah joke! I wouldn't recognize her without her fake eyelashes!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful momma - BEFORE AND AFTER! And kids grow up TO fast don't they?
ReplyDeleteGreat idea with Before/After! I wish I would have thought of that! I do not have very many recent photos of me, this really made me realize that! :o) You are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYou look great in both pics!
ReplyDeleteThose eyes -- gorgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteYou look great. I love the before and after. And LOL at the "Oprah ugly" comment you made!
ReplyDeleteYour before picture shows you to be a cheery, good humoured individual. The kind of person that would make you smile within a minute of meeting them. Your after picture, you still can see the smile but I can't get over how much the contacts change your look! I have had to sit here at my computer and stare at the differences! Wow! Regardless, you are beautiful in both of them.
ReplyDeleteI think you're gorgeous! but I love your eye color and make up in the second...
ReplyDeleteYou have a great smile too!
You should smile all the time. You have a beautiful smile.
ReplyDeleteI agree with monkey giggles. You should smile all the time. You are Gor-geous. No Oprah-without-makeup ugly there. Although I think she's stunning au naturale also.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I love love love the eye shot in your tag picture.
Can hardly tell the differenc. I'm talking about the Evan pictures though :)
ReplyDeleteCynic - :-p
ReplyDeleteKeep smiling!
ReplyDeleteBoth are beatiful!
