Tiffani and I are from the same neighborhood, I’ve know her forever. She is such a joy of a human. I don’t know anyone who goes out of their way as much as she does to make people feel loved, special and important.
Christian had been wearing a CTR (choose the right) ring, posted his cute photo of it on instagram and within a few days a package for him showed up in the mail. It was an amazing little CTR Cross stitch and a little note from Tiffany saying she thought he might like it. When that came it had been months since I’d even seen or spoken to her but she still found a way to bring our family a little happiness.
That’s just one example, I’m pretty sure everyone she knows – even acquaintances – would have at least handful of them. Its just the way she is.
It’s not that she doesn’t have her own problems, she’s been struggling to have a baby for over 4 years now. I know it causes her pain and that her longing to be a mother is an incredible weight on her heart, I so admire the way she has been open about her struggles. She helps those of us who haven’t had that experience to feel understanding, love and empathy at a deeper level and I’m certain she’s helped others in her position to feel hopeful and to ease their loneliness.
I asked if she’d want a makeover. Sometimes I think that word “makeover” comes with a negative connotation. Like, you’re not pretty enough as you are or you need fixing. I see it as a way to spotlight a woman’s gorgeous features and draw even more attention to their God given beauty. I know women can be hard on themselves and can see their faults easily, I love showing them what I see when I look at them, a stunningly beautiful human being. Sometimes a fresh perspective can help you see and appreciate things in a whole new way.
Plus it’s fun to get pampered, right?
Please excuse the photography of these photos, we had dimly lit hotel light to work with so we just did our best:)
Isn’t she perfection!? If you’re interested in seeing the video and products I used let me know below and I’ll post those this week too!

May 17, 2016 at 3:44 pmI would love to know the concealer that you used to cover the redness. I have tried so many and the redness always comes through with what I use!

May 17, 2016 at 3:58 pmI prefer a ‘new look’ instead of makeover, seems less intimidating, nicer. She looks lovely, what gorgeous national cat eyes!

Lori
May 17, 2016 at 4:16 pmYes, please! My skin goes through the very same thing, monthly. It would be nice to know how/what to use to make you feel like people were not staring at your skin flaws. It can be very depressing. Thank you! She looks great!
Bettiann
May 17, 2016 at 4:19 pmOh my…wow! Please share! She looks flawless! PS Tiffani, if you’re reading…I’m thinking good thoughts for you! It took us 3 years and I had 3 MCs. The only thing that kept me sane was knowing that someday, somehow, I would be a mom.
Tif
May 17, 2016 at 4:31 pmthank you so much for your hope. you’re wonderful.
Kates
May 18, 2016 at 6:49 pmTiffani, I also feel you! 5 years TTC and we now have beautiful 3 month old twin girls! All thanks to Dr Russell Foulk, who is literally a miracle worker. I know Cara is from the St george area and Dr Foulk has an office down there. He has offices in Idaho, utah, and Nevada and I cannot praise him enough! He offers free consults now and again, it would be worth seeing him regardless of whatever the cause is for infertility. We should not have been able to have kids, our diangnosis is so rare and severe. Anyway, I’m very passionate about the subject of infertility and I tell all TTC couples about Dr Foulk and his pratice, Utah Fertikity Center. I would love to chat with you if you need anyone to talk to! My blog is http://www.bebraveinfertilityjourney.com, please feel free to message me there and/or to read about our story. Good luck to you, Gorgeous!

May 17, 2016 at 4:33 pmPlease post a video. I feel like most makeovers the subject has basically perfect skin to begin with. This is what my skin looks like 75% of the time and I would love to know what products you used and the techniques. Tiffanni is stunning before and after!
Cathy

Great job Cara!
Leslee
May 17, 2016 at 4:46 pmFirst of all, Tiffani, you are gorgeous! Second of all, I have been there, sister! It was a long journey for us to our daughter. We ended up conceiving through IVF- and I thought I would NEVER be a mama! Stay strong, friend, and keep going! You are not alone!
Tif
May 17, 2016 at 5:16 pmyou’re really nice. thank you. and thank you for the hope!! i’m so glad you got your baby!

Tif
May 17, 2016 at 5:12 pmthank you for your prayers!!! and yes indeedy they are! they are ‘laurel’ in tea rose fade.
Janet
May 17, 2016 at 5:05 pmTiffany is absolutely beautiful! Having experienced years of infertility myself, I wish I could give her a great big hug. Hang in there, Tiffany, you are not alone in your struggles.
Cara, this is why I love what you do. Beauty these days seems to be all about perfection and overly done, phony looks, but you take someone and, rather than cover them up, you reveal them. They are very much the same person in the after picture as they were in the before, just polished and confident. Thanks for sharing your talents!
Oh, and yes, video, please!
Jaclyn Levy
May 17, 2016 at 5:05 pmThis is such a beautiful post that spoke to my heart. I hope Tiffani feels pampered not only by her makeover, but by your kind words as well. She has incredible brows and her hair looks so soft I wish I could touch it!
Denise Dowdrick

Cindy Price
May 17, 2016 at 6:04 pmI love this makeover. You took her amazing features…(those eyes, those cheekbones!) and as others said, brought them center stage without looking unnatural or too made up. My sister has stress acne and has had such a hard time getting the coverage she needs without her makeup being cakey and too thick. I hope you’ll post the tutorial so I can share it with her. Tiffani, your strength and light shines so bright! You are beautiful inside and out!
Jessica
May 17, 2016 at 6:14 pmYes! Video! I love how you choose to see others beauty and not their flaws. I love every look you do! These people look like themselves, just glowing.
Cam
May 17, 2016 at 6:14 pmWhat an awesome beautiful face…Just makes you see the possibilities that confidence takes you to. Makeup is a skill that many can learn, even if they aren’t “naturally artistic”. We all smile and appreciate a beautiful painting, right? You have made those eyes light up and that smile????!!!
Ellen Frecho

Dana
May 17, 2016 at 6:46 pmPlease share details! I’m really curious to know how you got so much coverage on her chin. I had no idea your products were capable of this. Seeing how this happened might just get me to pull the trigger!
Lexi
May 17, 2016 at 6:46 pmYes please!!!!
ochunsbaby
May 17, 2016 at 6:54 pmAmazing job – she is stunning. You did an amazing job covering up the stress acne and making her skin look very natural. I know the pain of not having a baby when the body, mind, heart and soul yearn for one. Give her my best wishes and blessings. then post how you did what you did with what products. On another note, as a light olive skin Latina, it would be nice to see a diversity of images with products.

Angie
May 17, 2016 at 7:44 pmWow, she is so stunning!! Her eyes are fierce. Truly lovely and I loved what you wrote about her- she was lovely even before I had scrolled down to her picture. Praying for you, Tiffani. I know full well the heartache and pain of infertility. Now #4 is due in about a month. Oh, how I wish the same for you. <3 it sounds like you will be a beautiful mama. ((hugs)) Cara, a huge high-five to you for seeing the natural beauty in women and accentuating what's already there. Love your approach to beauty!
Kristin

May 17, 2016 at 8:14 pmWould love to see the matching video especially showing details of exactly how you made her skin flawless, eyes beautiful defined yet soft, great lip color and awesome nose contouring ! Products are great to list but it’s all in the details of how you apply that make the difference . Please show in video. She looks great. You did it again !

May 17, 2016 at 10:20 pmWould LOVE to see the products and technique you used. Acne is almost never talked about in the makeup world and yet so many of us deal with it on a regular basis!!
Crystal Howard
May 17, 2016 at 11:15 pmPlease post the video.
Amber
May 17, 2016 at 11:29 pmLet me just say that the makeovers you have done over the years is what got me subscribing to your blog. They have always been amazing! Even though I love them and am blown away by your talent, honestly I really don’t care for the makeovers that make them look like a completely different person. This one with Tiffani though use truly stunning without hiding her at all. I’m in love! You MUST post what you used and what you did. So many beauty blogs showcase makeup techniques on women that already have perfect looking skin, what about the rest of us, yo?
Stephanie
May 17, 2016 at 11:54 pmShe’s got a lovely smile!
J.Leigh Solomon
May 18, 2016 at 12:21 amI would LOVE to see how you covered all of her red spots since that is a problem of mine.
Katie O
May 18, 2016 at 2:59 amMy jaw DROPPED when I saw this! So, so, so, so STUNNING! She just glows.
And duh Cara of course we want the video and products and every single little detail!
Erica
May 18, 2016 at 3:42 amGorgeous! I would love to know how you covered the blemishes and redness. I am struggling with acne and would be so excited to know how to cover it so well!

liz @ btb on etsy
May 18, 2016 at 8:56 amUmm, YES! She’s absolutely radiant!
Cait
May 18, 2016 at 9:54 amThis is awesome – on the makeover front, perhaps instead of makeover you could say “I’d love to do your makeup sometime if you’d like” – coming from a professional, I would not be insulted I’d be thrilled! It’s a gift – like if a massage therapist gave you a free massage. But Cara this is why you are the best, because you are sensitive enough to even think about how it could be taken the wrong way 🙂
Tiffani, you look amazing, your glasses rock, and from your smile you look like someone who just SHOULD be a mother <3 I hope it happens for you very soon.
Rachel
May 18, 2016 at 10:07 amShe is so so gorgeous!!
Jill
May 18, 2016 at 10:23 amHoly cow! She looks amazing! My skin tone is so so similar to Tiffani’s. I would love to know EXACTLY what you did to make her look so incredible! Posts, videos, tutorials, product lit…everything!

May 18, 2016 at 11:05 amShe’s gorgeous both before and after! I’d love to see the video to know how you cover blemishes so I could learn some tips to cover my own. Thanks!!

May 18, 2016 at 12:14 pmI love the blush you used! Would your blushes do well over a powder foundation?

pennyfp
May 18, 2016 at 11:13 pmYour makeovers always get lots of comments, but I especially feel like this one hit home with those of us that have a “real” before picture. You have also increased the human-to-human connection of prayer warriors that are lifting up Tiffani and of those TTC that have needed encouragement from someone that really understands the journey. THAT human to human connection is the REAL beauty that I believe we appreciate about your blog. And, uhm, yes, of course the full length, real time video would be FANTASTIC!!! Her smile and the twinkle in her eyes in the last picture says so much about her inner beauty!! Tiffani, with or without makeup, you are so beautiful!!! Blessings to you!!
Tiffani Hafen
May 21, 2016 at 12:01 amThank you so much! Isn’t Cara just the best?
Lisa
May 19, 2016 at 12:55 amPlease share the details!! I’m always having trouble covering damaged and acne prone skin and her before pic looks somewhat similar to mine—just can never achiever her after appearance! You’ve done wonderful work showing off her natural beauty behind her few blemishes!
Nat
May 19, 2016 at 1:11 amDear Cara, like other readers I would love to know what products you used. Thank you for your positive and honest posts!

May 19, 2016 at 5:30 amOh, and I’m sorry, It’s Tiffani with an “i.”
megs283
May 19, 2016 at 6:52 amI LOVE this makeover! Often I feel like the makeup is too “night-time” for daily use, but this is perfect. Tiffani, you are beautiful! I also struggled for years – I lost my first daughter at 4 days old and also had three miscarriages. I felt like I would never have a “take-home baby.” After seeing an RE to get a thrombophilia diagnosis, I now I have a baby girl – she’s 4.5 months old. I pray that you find happiness and have the chance to mother a little one!! It sounds like you spread so much joy! <3

May 19, 2016 at 10:53 amI love it! She is super cute!! May her dreams come true soon and the Lord bless her with a baby. She seems amazing and has a big heart.
I would love to see the video also. I have my own problem skin that I would love to get some helpful tips for.
vlcdmamman
May 19, 2016 at 11:50 amMany with me would like to know how to do the base (foundation, concealer etc) on an acne prone skin- without the cakeyness or flakeyness!!! I scrub, exfoliate and hydrate before makeup, but I never get a “smooth” result as yours. Sure the bumps will be visible no matter what makeup- thats no probs, its the other issues as mentioned thats the problem. Pleeeez!??!
Sorry for my poor English! /Love from Sweden

May 20, 2016 at 8:04 amI love the last pic of her smiling with the glasses on … she’s beaming and looks so young and happy. Just beautiful! Also I’m saying a prayer!
