Today a lovely friend of mine and I were whisked away into a world of lipsticks and powder puffs at the Mecca Cosmetica Beauty Election 2012 Event!
In the left corner is THE James Boehmer!! |
Even James Boehmer, the Director of Global Artistry at NARS was there, and his work has appeared in countless fashion magazines and was a lead makeup artist at New York Fashion Week!! Oh. My. God.
My friend and I were treated to a free consultation with a professional makeup artist, and the girl who did mine was super nice and took me through step-by-step to achieve this personalised look:
As I wear glasses sometimes, I was looking for a look that would suit my frames while still being a bit quirky. I always wear eyeliner, but was looking for something different from my usual black liquid liner.
Sally, my makeup artist, suggested a blue liner with champagne to brown coloured eyeshadows, something I would not have thought of without her! But I was so happy with how it looked, I couldn't leave without buying that Larger Than Life Long-Wear Eyeliner in Rue Saint-Honoré - I fell in love instantly!
I had actually had a consultation at Mecca once before, and two of the products they suggested I try on the first visit (the blush and highlighter) were again recommended to me today! It really shows how talented the artists at Mecca are - they really do know what suits you best!
My friend bought the silver eyeshadow that was chosen for her, here's some photos of her wearing it:
And as a present for attending, we both received a little goodie bag, containing mini versions of the NARS Blush in Orgasm (the shade that was used during my consultation - what luck!) and NARS Soft Touch Shadow Pencil in Aigle Noir.
