I had a very interesting Saturday afternoon (31 August 2013) where I got to spend two and a half hours with the makeup artists of Makeup For Life Professional. The workshop was held at City Lodge Fourways directly opposite Monte Casino. Make up For Life is a high and middle end cosmetic brand and aims to “reach every woman and empower them with the unshakeable belief that every single one of them can be beautiful“. They aim to inspire your inner beauty. It is an independent brand under the Natural (International) Cosmetics Group. They combine art and makeup to meet their customers’ demands and choices through excellent makeup quality. Our makeup artist, who was commissioned to show us the ‘tricks of the trade’ when it comes to makeup application, techniques so on and so forth, was the very charming and divalicious Marion – too fabulous she was, darling. :-) So the result of the tips and advices I learnt in makeup application. The eye shadows were, for me, the most impressive products. Just see below the rich, bright and highly pigmented green shadow I decided to use. I really loved the results. And considering that it was I who applied it, I was thoroughly impressed! They have super pigmented eye shadows. Just look at that green! Such a gorgeous pop of colour. With over ten years of development for the highest quality in products and honest cooperation with partner and customers, Makeup For Life has gained recognition through the achievement of various awards such as the 2008 awards of “China’s Most Competitive Brand of Professional Make-up”, “Outstanding Make-up Brand in China’s Cosmetics Industry of the Year”, as well as “Recommended Product of China’s Beauty, Salon and Make-up Art Modelling Competition”. (MakeupForLife-gz.com). So they are doing very well in the Chinese market and hoping for the same success here in South Africa. My purchases included their Waterproof Liquid Foundation – R250.00. Their Mascara – R135.00. And that gorgeous green eye shadow I loved so much – R115.00.
