Romero's Mom

I have been excited to meet makeup artist, Romero Jennings', gorgeous mother ever since someone tagged #advancedstyle on a photo of her from his instagram page. I have been following their stylish adventures ever since. Nancy was an absolute joy to photograph and didn't even complain when we took her outside on a cold winter's day to take some more shots. I asked Romero to share a few words about his stunning mother below:

My mom was born in Panama in the 30" but lived a big portion of her life in Jamaica. The influence of both cultures makes her an excellent cook! Nancy comes from a line of stylish women. Her mother made all her own clothing which allowed her to spend plenty of money on beautiful shoes and jewelry!

Nancy loves hearing all my tales of life backstage at fashion week! She feels somehow that she is there with me in spirit. She especially loves to find out what is hot and what is not! My mom has always been know for her  signature red or shocking pink lipstick and a generous coat of mascara topped off with translucent face powder!

 Of course her favorite makeup brand is M.A.C cosmetics and her go to lipsticks are Candy Yum Yum , which she is wearing in the photos, and her favorite red lipstick -relentlessly red! She has a passion for huge oversized eyeglasses which has now become her signature! Nancy has a passion for fashion and feels that leopard is a neutral that goes with everything! At 75-year-old she still loves going to work every single day.
