The day began with an entertaining discussion of all things K-Beauty with Janel Luu, founder of Le Mieux Cosmetics, at the K-Beauty: Essential Tips for Mastering the Latest Beauty Trend class. Luu discussed utilizing a layered approach to a client’s skin care regimen, as is traditional with Korean beauty practices. Luu also discussed chi and how its flow mimics the meridian lines. 

Next, Shonda Gonzales demonstrated body sugaring to the crowd at the Body Sugaring: A Sweet Alternative Hair Removal Method. As certified body sugaring educator for Tamara’s Professional Body Sugaring, Gonzales’ showed the audience how to properly remove hair using her body sugaring technique. 

In the afternoon, Lisa Shor, director of education for The Art Institute of Makeup, a division of New Age Spa Institute, explained to the audience how to apply the latest beauty trends to mature skin. 

“Makeup is only as good as canvas you’re putting it on,” Shor said to the audience at Red Carpet Ready at Any Age class. “When we’re talking about makeup for any age, we’re talking about oil production.”

Shor explained that just because a woman is in her 50s, don’t assume she has dry skin. Protocols for makeup application should be tailored to each client.
