Here’s the big thing: it’s not the makeup; it’s the relaxation. Her guard is down, so she isn’t locking her expression, she’s showing more honest emotions. She has become comfortable with M (who is the only one in the room), so she’s not fighting with anxiety.
An honest compliment can do wonders for getting an honest (as opposed to forced) smile. First school picture I really like came from the photographer saying exactly the right thing at the right time. After seeing the difference I stopped bothering with fake smiles. They don’t fool anyone while an honest on the other hqndlook beautiful.
She looks SO cute. <3 It looks really good on her.
I wish this was in color, even if it was only the last frame 🙂
Katherine is one of those shy people you just want to hug!
She really does look pretty like that.
I told you all she looked cute!
The smile is especially fetching.
Lose the eyeshadow. They’re dark enough already. Maybe get some… eyelightener.
her hair is different
her expression is sweet
and her body language is changed
this is an adorable katherine as opposed to the previous terrifying one.
guess makeup does help *grumbles*

I remember Monica’s ‘accidental’ makeup experiment with used engine oil… and entertaining the bikers in the bad side of town bar.
Awww, so sweet!
