Aging is a natural part of life that none of us can avoid. However, that doesn’t mean we have to lose our spark as we grow older. One of the simplest ways to feel good about ourselves is through makeup.

Meet Christopher Hopkins, also known as The MakeOverGuy, and his mother, Joann Hopkins. Joann knows firsthand the transformative power of makeup when it’s applied just right.

Joann has an unusual beauty routine: she sleeps with her makeup on and takes it off in the morning, only to reapply it for the day ahead. She does this to keep looking fabulous for her loved ones, even when she’s resting.

Experts warn that sleeping with makeup on can cause skin issues such as clogged pores and acne. It can also speed up the aging process by preventing the skin from repairing itself naturally.

Despite these warnings, Joann enjoys applying makeup and feels her skin looks great for her age. She believes in following her passions and not giving in to societal expectations.

Not only does Joann have beautiful skin, but she’s also skilled at applying makeup. Her technique is nearly flawless, covering imperfections and highlighting her stunning eyebrows.

Christopher, also known as The MakeOverGuy, reflects on his mother’s influence:

“As a child, I used to watch this every day, and I find it fascinating today. You can see where my inspiration comes from. She will always appear after me, in my opinion.”

Parents can shape their children’s futures in various ways, and Christopher is grateful that his mother provided such a rewarding and inspiring experience.
