Dottie: Frazzled Mom Gets Professional Look

Dottie, 44, a mom to two small children and site director of a large Web site, needed a look that made her feel sleek at the office. "I often feel lucky if I'm able to get out of the house with lipstick and undereye concealer on," she confided.

Using several shades of foundation, Crawford contoured Dottie's round face, and played up her cheekbones with sheer light pink blush. He brushed natural-looking taupe eye shadow on her eyes, and a simple bubble gum gloss on her lips. Knowing that busy moms don't have time to blow out their hair, Crawford worked with Dottie' natural texture, adding a few soft waves to remove some of the frizz.

"My colleagues and family members thought I looked very glamorous," Dottie says. "Now, if only Jim would agree to come to my home every morning!"
