Can you believe I had the opportunity to meet the fabulously
talented Makeup Artist Lauren Nicely AKA @lonicely! I was beyond ecstatic and
quite nervous. However, after traveling two hours in the rain to get to
Atlanta, I finally arrived at Prissy In The City. I was among a few to arrive
early at the quaint and beautiful makeup boutique, in order to get a front seat
(short girl problems!). After waiting
for a few minutes, we finally entered and was greeted by Prissy (Boutique Owner)
and the beautiful striped silver and purple accent wall. However, the gift bags
dominated my focus, but I’ll come back to that!
After waiting for a few more minutes, Lauren finally arrived
and we begin the class. She first began introducing herself and then giving us
packets of what she would discuss during the class. Some things that was
included in the packet was The Perfect Brow, Eye Shadow Placement, Pre- Eye
Shadow and Foundation Application, Highlighting and Contouring techniques and a
number of other things. After the
introduction, we mingled and ate some of the most delicious finger food I’ve
had in a while. No, this wasn’t your average meatball and wings; we had collard
green dip, pineapple lemonade punch, and pasta salad just to name a few things.
OMG the food was bussin’ and catered by Brandino’s Catering!
So moving right along, after everyone had the chance to grab
a bite to eat, Lauren began the live demo on her beautiful model @sanganfool.
From start to finish, she discussed in detail every step to achieving a precise
and smooth makeup application. Lauren was so transparent and very humble
towards any and every question that was asked. She gave us tips on how to get
Pro discounts, kits essentials (foundations, setting powders, primers, etc.),
and picture lighting (how to take better pictures of your work to get companies
to endorse you). Overall the class was just amazing and well worth the money
for any person looking to grow in their artistry!
O yea, I didn’t forget about the gift bag. In there, she
included a full size jar of Ben Nye Luxury Powder, Bdellium Tools Brush, OCC
Lip Tar, E.L.F. makeup wipes, blush brush, and setting spray, Juvia Place
foundation brush, Monda Studio eyelashes, Femi Cosmetics loose pigment, Pink Scarlet
loose glitter, latex wedges, and business cards for Prissy in the City.
If Lauren is going to be in your city, don’t wait to late to
register for her class or a one-on-one lesson. Until next time Luxe Ladies!
