Makeover My Mom

When you have five kids, there's very little "me time." Sandra knows that first hand because she herself has raised a party of five. But now that her children are all grown up, she believes it's time to "get a life."

At 60, Sandra is single and looking forward to the next chapter -- though still playing the role of devoted mom. To give her a fresh start, we enlisted the help of our Makeover My Mom team.



Hairstylist Natasha Sunshine reshaped Sandra's hair by framing her face with a soft, sweeping bang and cutting in controlled layers. She added caramel highlights to warm up her complexion and give her strands dimension.

To achieve the finished look, she smoothed Sandra's tresses with a blow dryer, and then used a large barrel curling iron to flip the ends.

Makeup artist Heather Coopersmith brightened and balanced Sandra's skin with a sheer foundation, and then applied a pink blush just under the cheekbones.

She shaved years off of Sandra's face by reshaping her eyebrows. Using brow powder, she defined and elongated her brows so they appeared longer and fuller -- a hallmark of youth.

Fashion stylist and Makeover My Mom host Sam Saboura opted for something bold.

A printed blouse topped with a fire engine red jacket lit up Sandra's cinnamon skin tone, and her attitude. Cropped pants and sexy black pumps rounded out her look -- proving that fashion and style are ageless.
