THE NEW LOOK
Hair: Dani, hair stylist and makeup artist at Jon Tomas, was in charge of giving Dawn a new ’do. “Since her eyes are a really dark, deep shade of blue, I went with an auburn hue to brighten them up,” she says. “I put in a few golden highlights to give her a sun-kissed look and brought the length up to balance the proportions of her face. Layers give her volume on top, and I kept it a little longer in front so she could still pull it back if she wanted.” It’s a style that could work for lots of moms, whose days involve toting around little ones. “It’s easily manageable, and she has a lot of options on how to wear it: straight, curled under, flipped up,” Dani points out. “She can do work on it a lot or a little, and get different results.”
Makeup: Rosalyn Kozal, hair stylist and makeup artist at Jon Tomas, wanted to brighten up Dawn’s face, so she applied bronzer to highlight her cheekbones and added a warm gloss on her lips. “For her eyes, we highlighted the upper brow and put a darker shade in the crease,” Kozal explains. “We used a black-brown eyeliner on the top and just a little on the bottom. Along with lash extensions, this really made her eyes pop.” She suggests that new moms who don’t have a lot of time always apply mascara to avoid looking tired, bronzer to give their face a glow and lip gloss to soften their look.
