Her Face If you see Angelina Jolie, you would probably agree that my moms face was just exactly like hers. 1) when I see her eyes, they are big and sparkling, just like Jolies when shes staring. 2) Being famous for her sensual lips, Jolie seems to share the same sensuality with my moms. 3) Her nose, of course, resembles Jolies : a pointed one. 4) As I do to Jolies , I adore her complexion for its so smoothly clean as if you would always fail to see even a shadowed spot on.
The Way She Dressed My mom always updated her dress style. 1) She always followed the trend. For example, in most of her photographs, she was dressed in up-to-date. 2) Accompanying her dressing style, she would never forget her accessories. The most loved one was her brilliantly- decorated earrings. 3) She was often seen in her fantastic party dresses in some extravaganza events.
Her Hair Style Her hair was amazingly styled. 1) She looked like having freedom of her life with her dark medium wavy hair. 2) The one that I never forget is when she had cute two pigtails with cloth-made hair accessories. 3) She regularly visited her hair stylist to take care of her beautiful hair.
