What about if you’re more of a cosmetics person than a bath or body person? There are a number of fancy beauty items that you could try out for Mother’s Day. You could play around with the new Smashbox Full Exposure Palette, a mix of shimmery and matte neutral eyeshadows that can work for day or night. Or grab serious pigment with Clinique Cheek Pop, a densely colored blush that comes in shades like 02 Peach Pop or 03 Berry Pop. And if you want just a slick of shiny color on your lips, try Josie Maran Argan Love Your Lips Hydrating Lipstick in shades like Coral Delight and Happy Honey, or the new Lancôme Lip Lover in rosy pink 356 Belle De Rouge.
And when the day is over and you’re climbing into bed? Don’t forget Bliss Glamour Gloves; slip them on so they can moisturize and soften your hands while you sleep. If that’s not an easy, stress-free way to end your Mother’s Day, I don’t know what is.

In middle school, Roxana Hadadi was a cosmetics-scorning tomboy; in high school, a glitter eye shadow- and black nail polish-loving trend kid; in college, obsessively committed to dying her hair unruly colors that upset her mom. Now a bit older and a bit more mature, she’s trying to figure out what hair, body and cosmetics products will work for her, you and your family in About Face, Chesapeake Family’s new beauty blog — and she’ll leave the sparkle makeup and neon highlights in the past.
