Eva Mendes received a glamorous makeover from the most precious beauty gurus she knows: her very own kids.
Just a day ago (March 30), the children of Mendes and award-winning actor Ryan Gosling decided to have some fun digging through their mom’s make-up.
These young and amateur artists experimented by painting some black eyeliner, bold pink lipstick and blush–all the staples. To add a unique touch at the end, Mendes’ kids decided to place some shimmery blue hues on her chin.
Was she embarrassed about the new look? Nope, not at all! In fact, Mendes took to Instagram with pride by sharing a photo of the completed design with her 2.4 million followers.
“My kids did this to me. Again. From head to toe. I guess, when in doubt, be their canvas,” she reveals in the caption.

The cute photo has already generated nearly 100,000 likes and a flood of positive comments from fans expressing their love for Mendes’ playful relationship with her kids.
We absolutely adore how Mendes realizes parenting doesn’t have to be all about setting strict rules; it can be fun too!
To encourage more conversations about healthy and balanced parenting, Mendes regularly shares her own insights about finding the right mix between playing and nagging on her social channels.
On March 18, she shared a quote pic from @themompsychologist, highlighting a quote from James Baldwin that reads: “Children have never been good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them.”

Several fans responded positively and some even opened up by sharing their own experiences with motherhood. Based on these responses, so many moms out there seem to agree that being an effective parent and being perfect are NOT synonymous.
“During these intense times, I’m trying to be super aware of what I say about myself, others, the news, politics, and just about everything when my kids are around,” Mendes shares in the caption. “I realize that I’m shaping how they view the world. A huge and daunting reality.”
