For the second half of my collaboration with MAKE UP FOR EVER, I’m excited to share a short transformation video inspired by my favorite 60’s style icon. Back in part I I mentioned asking for easy-to-apply products that could survive a full day against the elements, including perspiration and watery eyes. Their smudge and water-proof Aqua line worked perfectly for my needs, and comes off gently at the end of the day with makeup remover. We did a dramatic evening look for this video, but a lighter application of the cream eyeshadow with natural lashes would be a quick and easy look for everyday wear.

Lijha, MUFE’s Director of Artistry, was incredibly knowledgeable so I kept asking about her techniques during the application. We cut out most of my yapping (otherwise the video could’ve gone on for hours : ), but I wanted to share a few additional tips learned from her below.
1. To make cheek coloring look less harsh, Lijha applied a cream blush, then went over it with a generous dusting of powder foundation. I used to always do the other way around, but loved the softer “glow from within” results with the blush layered under.
I think it was OPI thrill of brazil : )
What nail polish are you wearing? I must know!
Jean! I love the video and the photos! I hope you're framing them for your new place! You are so beautiful before all the makeup, but it does enhance your au natural look. I wanna go out and check out all these products now! You totally sold me! I've been aimlessly wandering the makeup road, waiting for you to make this vid. lol Love you! -voluptuous vy
Aww thank you so much, hopefully I'll start up again once we move to a bigger space. Haha the volume is just teasing and hairspray…I need to learn how to do that better without using a bumpit!
Thank you for the vinegar & baking soda tip!
Hello Awa – the pearl strands are from eBay (I think I just searched for white akoya rope pearls) and the crystal-like necklace was from the studio set with no label : /
Classy lady! Love the pop of red.
This is so fun! What I'm really loving is that smokey eye–it really did look super easy! I may have to give that smokey eye shadow a try!

Anonymous and Jean, I've read that you shouldn't use alcohol or bleach-based wipes to clean the inside of shoes because they can melt the glue that attaches the insole to the shoe. An alternative is to wipe the inside of the shoes with distilled white vinegar and then allow them to dry overnight. The vinegar is a natural disinfectant. Don't use too much otherwise your shoes will reek of vinegar. You can then deodorize the shoes by sprinkling a bit of baking soda in them. Don't use too much of this either otherwise you'll end up with a powdery white mess in your shoes. Let the baking soda sit in the shoes for a few hours or overnight and then either wipe or shake the powder out. Hope that helps!
Seriously, Jean. You are as gorgeous as ever. So glad about your opportunity to work with MUFE! You deserve it! 🙂

Wow, you look really like a style icone from the 60s, so beautiful! But to be honest I don't know any look in which you wouldn't look great <3 I love your dress, the red shoes and the hairstyle really much!

Reminds me of your makeup and hair tutorial videos. I miss those! That said, you look absolutely gorgeous.
Is there anything under your front/ side hair, or is that just a lot of professional-grade teasing?
love the touch of red and the pearls!! <3

Hi there – I don't think this is the best or most gentle way (any shoe care experts, please chime in!), but I disinfect my second hand shoes with Chlorox wipes. The kind that come in those tube containers from Target or the drugstore. I usually wring any excess moisture out in hopes that they won't damage the leather. If I don't have wipes on hand, I've used paper towel and a little rubbing alcohol on the interior of shoes.
Hi Jean!
I wanted to ask you a question but had no idea how to contact you so I'm going to post it on this post. How would you go about disinfecting 2nd hand shoes? I recently purchased a pair of designer shoes from ebay and am starting to get a little nervous about all the bacteria and fungus that might be on it. It's my first time and I thought it was an amazing deal but am starting to worry! Please reply! Thanks for your time!
You are so beautiful!!!! <3 Love your dress!!!
Thank you for this video! Love this brand too!!!!!
