MAKE UP FOR EVER Makeup Bag Remix Tour.
/
Imagine this. You take your makeup bag into a professional and learn how to best use your products to work for you. It sounds like just a dream, doesn't it? Well, you can stop dreaming because this is happening as MAKE UP FOR EVER goes on a Makeup Bag Remix Tour.
Join MAKE UP FOR EVER’s team of professional artist as they will take a look inside our make up bags and teach us how to properly use what we already own, regardless of the brand. A professional artist will go through your bag, provide an interactive, hands-on lesson explaining how to apply the products, and show us how to supplement what we already own to create the most flattering look. Plus you will walk away with a new make up bag, a custom face chart detailing how to use the products you have, and a list of any additional products recommended by the artist to round out the look. The idea is to make our make our makeup bags better and work for us.
The mobile tour will travel to the following cities:
Los Angeles, CA: February 1st – 3rd
San Francisco, CA: February 9th – 10th
Las Vegas, NV: February 16th – 17th
Dallas, TX: February 23rd – 24th
Miami, FL: March 2nd – 3rd
New York, NY: March 9th – 10th
Boston, MA: March 23rd – 24th
Chicago, IL: April 6th – 7th
Toronto, ON: April 13th – 14th
All you have to do is schedule a 30 minute one-on-one appointment by visiting facebook.com/MAKEUPFOREVERUSA. Sessions are available from 12:00pm – 8:00pm on Saturday and 11:00am – 7:00pm on Sunday.
As a bonus, a professional photographer will be on hand to upload your new look in a special album on the MUFE Facebook page.
Don't worry if you don't have time for a full 30 minute appointment because MAKE UP FOR EVER will also have make up stations dedicated to quick lip and complexion touch ups featuring Pro Finish, the brand’s innovative new multi-use compact foundation that I featured a few weeks ago.
I am making an appointment at the Boston location and will follow-up with details on my makeup bag remix and new look.
Make It Lash: Get Kardashian Lashes with Khroma Beauty Stroke of Midnight Mascara.
/
Everyone wants to know the secret of Kourtney, Kim and Khloe Kardashians lashes. Could it be their Khroma Beauty Stroke of Midnight Mascara? I doubt it, but you never know. I was glad to hear Kim say that she was wearing Khroma Beauty on "Live with Kelly & Michael" last week! In reality, I am guessing they have lash extensions. But their name is on this new Khroma Beauty Mascara (officially called Khroma Beauty Faux Lash Look Extra Volume Mascara), and I had to give it a try to see how it worked for me.
On first look, Stroke of Midnight has the type of brush I like. It is made of very stiff rubber bristles that really help separate lashes as it applies the lengthening and thickening, very pigmented mascara.
It is infused with a mix of six natural waxes to glide on and never flake, plus very dark pigments for the ultimate in color payoff.
I find that applying two coats of Stroke of Midnight is best for me. Three coats is maybe too much. The formula didn't clump, but too much made them sort of "gloopy" looking. Like I said, the formula never flakes, nor did it smudge. It lasted all day, and removed with regular eye makeup remover. My lashes did feel a bit stiff, but that also meant that my lashes stayed curled and in place all day too.
Khroma Beauty Stroke of Midnight Mascara sells for $9.99 at ULTA. It will be available in CVS and Sears come March.
