Unfortunately, average gals like us we don’t have the luxury of having makeup artists who offer their expert services and, of course, tips of the trade. Thankfully, Smashbox Cosmetics from the City of Angels is now here to help transform our looks from free-spirited indie chick to either a radiant romantic or dramatic diva for the holidays.
"Smashbox Cosmetics is the largest professional makeup studio in the world founded by Dean and Davis Factor, grandsons of makeup legend Max Factor," says Norman J. Barsky, international VP for Smashbox Cosmetics. "On any given day, our state-of-the-art facility is inundated with the most sought-after celebrities, models, photographers and musicians. From Drew Barrymore to Charlize Theron, Gisele Bundchen, and Madonna – we’ve seen them all and more importantly, swapped beauty secrets with their makeup artists."
Smashbox specifically created problem-solving products to make the face picture-perfect. Actually, the brand’s signature product is oh-so-interesting. Smashbox’s primer is a colorless, silicone-based product, which fills in tiny lines and wrinkles, and makes the foundation very smooth and long-lasting.
"We really own the primer category. Smashbox has lip and lid primer, lash primer and these items are not normally regular color cosmetics items," explains Barsky. "At first, we originally developed this line only for use at the studio for magazine shoots. But they became so popular that the celebrities and models took them home after the shoot."
Recently, Smashbox Cosmetics launched the White Nights Holiday Sets at Beauty Bar in Rockwell. Irma Dabro, the brand’s international training manager, was in the country to give the latest holiday looks that will surely keep you glowing like an ultimate celebrity from dusk to dawn.
There are two stunning looks for the holidays. First is the sultry eye look, which Valerie de los Santos sported. For a gorgeous smoky eye, Irma applied caviar cream eyeliner across the top and lower lash line with the Derby trio eyeliner set. Then, a shimmery white color was used to highlight the eyes. Second is the angelic holiday collection look, which was modeled by Rissa Samson. Irma applied white cream eye shadow, silver eyeliner and a shimmer clear gel with glitter on the lids. Her bright eyes paired with a bold, rock-me-baby red lipstick made her positively stunning.
So, do you want to achieve these looks? Here are Smashbox’s White Nights Holiday sets packed full with sweet treats for you. Perfect gifts for your friends that will surely make your friendship last forever:
We can now look haute and hot with Smashbox’s White Nights holiday collection. From these sets, you’ll get sparkling lips and shimmering eyes that will make you shine like a Hollywood star.
Barsky concludes, "At Smashbox, our knowledge is your beauty."
