With such a hot body, it’s clear that hard work at the gym pays off and this inspires us to work on ours. Remember, being healthy is a lifestyle and not a goal and can start with simply walking around the block.

What you eat and apply on your skin will always show and it’s clear that Pearl keeps it clean. We love her gorgeous skin that has a healthy natural glow.

Her Nails

Your outfit is never complete without a made-up manicure and this lady always nails it. We love the round pastel blue nails, on trend and subtle.

Ponytail

Simple yet elegant hair dos are a great hit because they allow you to dress up or down. Pearl rocks a timeless high bun with a braided tail.

Red lip always on point

“I said pour yourself a drink, put on some lipstick, and pull yourself together,” Marilyn Monroe. Red lips are a classic in the beauty world, and Pearl never fails to play with different shades of red.

Smoky eye

Pearl is one of the go-to people to see a perfect smoky eye. Pair your dark eyes with a clean nude face to allow the eye area to be the focus point.

She’s a mother
