L.A. Make-up Show!

Even though it took 24 hours and two flight delays, our Face it! ladies made it to L.A. for the Make-up Show.
The show offered seminars by the industry's best and they made the most of that opportunity. It was a resource for all types of people in the cosmetic industry to learn and grow from each other. The ladies were surrounded by the people of L.A., trying the make-up and other products they saw, and soaking up all the inspiring ideas.



The show offered more seminars and opportunities then the girls could even participate in. They spent the entire day making the most of their time and experiencing all they could at the L.A. Market Center. This is the third year that the show came to the West Coast and the ladies of Face it! were so excited to be a part of it.



One seminar that the ladies enjoyed was on South Seas tanning spray. The product was started by a husband and wife together. The woman (seen above) was diagnosed with skin cancer. In her attempt to give men and women another option for glowing skin, she created a line that has essential oils and natural healing ingredients that can actually improve your skin. The girls loved it. The story, the product, the smell, and the look are perfect and we hope to bring it into Face it! in the near future. 


As seen in the picture above, the ladies went to the workshop for Cover FX. It is a primer and foundation line that has clinically proven results that reduce wrinkles, fibronectin, collagen, and hyaluronic acid. The product turned damaged skin due to Rosacea into a flawless, healthy-looking, smooth complexion. Our ladies and owners love the product and we want you to try it too!

The ladies also learned and tried the up-and-coming trend of airbrushed make-up. This revolutionary idea has changed the way film-makers and celebrities do their make-up. We hope to explore the idea and learn how we can make it a possibility for the people of Eugene, Springfield. We would love to give you a fresh, clean look for a special event with air-brushed make-up!





Naked was another favorite product the ladies found because it is so versatile. At first glance it looks like a beautiful, shimmery, loose eyeshadow. They quickly learned that it is that, but much more as well. Not only can it be used as an eyeshadow, but as an eyeliner, a nail polish, for lips, as a bronzer, and as a temporary hair highlighter.
So many uses for such a seemingly simple product. It is versatile, and more importantly, it is healthy. It is made with 100% oxidized mica, which means no oils, waxes, or filters that can harm the skin. It is a wonderful product that you can feel good about putting on.


Our ladies also learned about other cosmetic products that they instantly fell in love with. From cosmetic brushes to Shadow Shields, there are so many new ideas and that were inspired by the Make-up Show.



Not only were the ladies learning from the Make-up Show, but also from the people around them. They went out and experienced L.A. and got to see the trends from one of the biggest cities in the United States.


Both of our owners, Jodi Auxier and Paula Kongsore, went to the show and are ready to vamp up the store! These are all things we plan to use at Face it! to give our clients and customers the freshest trends and newest techniques.
We would love to show you what we have learned!

Chelsea Meter

Chelsea Meter, our wonderful Esthetician, is no rookie.
In fact, she is the exact opposite. She is a veteran here at Face it! and was one of the first employees when the salon portion of the boutique opened. She has become a client favorite and has created quite a following over her years here. How many years, you ask? 5 hard-working years here at Face it!
She is highly experienced in waxing, hair tints, facials, spray tans, and eyelash extensions.



Waxing:
From a quick brow wax to a more extensive full leg or Brazilian wax, Chelsea has the magic touch. Her experience is evident as she works, and her many returning clients would vouch for that.

Hair tints:
As a quick beauty pick-me-up, Chelsea tints both the brows and eyelashes to help define your features and make them both more noticeable.

Facials:
For a relaxing treat, Chelsea specializes in facials at Face it! She uses our top Decleor products that leave your skin looking the freshest it's ever been. It restores the skin's natural oils and gives it new energy, leaving you feeling renewed.

Spray tans:
After going through many different brands of spray tan, Chelsea specifically chose our product, because it's the most healthy and natural looking, to use at Face it! She has many returning customers: even those who come by weekly. The other women of Face it! get spray tans themselves and trust her completely. She gives the skin an even color and leaves you glowing like you just left the beach.

Eyelash Extensions:
For those who lack in eyelash-fullness, worry no more. Chelsea offers eyelash extensions that are full and natural-looking. You can get a full set or get less for a subtle accent of the eyes. They last an average of five weeks, or can be maintained with regular fills.

Call Face it! to make appointments with Chelsea for all your beauty needs. She will accentuate your natural beauty and leave you feeling refreshed and pretty.
