So-called entrepreneurial professionals claim that the only way to be successful in business is to clearly identify your target audience.  Often times I have been thoroughly criticized by such ’experts’ for my exacting response of not having such criteria. 

I’d like to introduce those individuals to one of our favorite clients at Face to Fase — Emily.

__________

As one of our very first patrons after our Grand Opening; I first met Emily (who we lovingly refer to as “Aunt Emmy”) two years ago.

Then, at 102 years of age; upon her full recovery of cataract surgery, she was able to see her facial wrinkles for the first time, and insisted upon doing something about it…so, her niece brought her right to us for some anti-aging skin care

__________

She instantly fell in love with the jewelry in our boutique-style Studio and has continually been a great representation of our pieces.  In fact, she recently wore them on a very important day… 

With friends and family by her side, I was honored by an invite to help celebrate Aunt Emmy’s 104th Birthday (God Bless her!) and our Studio was the first stop on her celebratory afternoon!

Aunt Emmy is a true testament to having beauty and style at ANY age.

__________

Next…Check back later this month when we’ll be hosting a Spa Party for a pack of four year old princesses!

4-104 … How is THAT for a demographic?! 

__________

It is said that ‘those are helped – who help themselves’

But, in theory, what seems to be a simple principle can actually be quite hard for many.  That’s why there are few special individuals like Susan Korwin, who make it her business to help YOU help YOURSELF.

__________

Susan is a Certified Life Coach / Style Consultant and HER success relies upon the successes of her clients whose lives she has radically transformed for the better with her positive and inspirational influences. 

In her own words…

“Many times we have more than enough drive, talent, skill and ability within us, but those qualities can be held back by our lack of direction, lack of focus, lack of confidence, lack of time or lack of motivation – precisely the kinds of challenges a professional coach can help you overcome.”

__________

Having seen her innate ability to instantly elevate your feeling of self-worth first-hand by her warm-hearted words and actions paired with her continued and constant generosity; I am proud to call her a dear friend of mine and I look forward to working in conjunction with her as the ultimate duo in the personification of inward and outward Beauty for her clients’ utmost potential of confidence and happiness. 

As I always say, “When you LOOK good, you FEEL good!” but “more than appearance, it’s about the attitude underneath.”

This is why Susan and I make a great team – with her motivating encouragement, and a little lesson in Vanity 101  ;)

Enjoy!!!

I have a well-known passion for makeup, but equal to that infatuation is my love for cosmetic instruction; which is why I was so excited when asked to guest-educate the future professionals at the Jersey Shore Beauty Academy!

__________

In the Beauty Industry, trends and techniques are ever-changing.  Even those not in the field know this just from observing the latest major magazine editions; BUT, it is the professional’s job to be able to duplicate the look to satisfy their clients.

__________

In this particular class, upon their request, we covered a number of eye makeup techniques and evaluated shade selection for various eye colors — in addition to many other tips and tricks for when they enter their field of choice… Skin – Makeup – or even entering into business for themselves with their impending expertise.

__________

I look forward to a lasting and growing relationship with the JSBA and its eager apprentices as an instrument in their continuing education.

This coming weekend there will be characters galore for Halloween; but for stage actors like Matt, who assume the roles of many different characters, dressing-up occurs on more than just a holiday; it is a constant.

His latest project, pictured here, portrays Rev. Amos Sibley from the popular play Spoon River Anthology by Edgar Lee Masters.

We were excited to help

 transform Matt into his recent

 psychopathic alter ego

through makeup and facial

props; and we are eager to

begin our expedition into the

realm of theatrical makeup, as

I will be working with the theatre company to which Matt belongs, in creating an intricate face-form for Matt in his upcoming role as the Elephant Man this Winter.

In my 10+ years as a professional Makeup Artist, I have had the pleasure of meeting countless women, and have also had the incredible opportunity to help prepare them and share in their bliss for some of the best days of their lives. 

–Proms, Weddings, Stage Performances, and so many others.

__________

Meeting as clients, many of them through the years have grown to be great friends to which I have shared many life experiences with.  In their good times and bad; sickness and in health; — even love, loss, joys, sorrows, pregnancies and remissions.

__________

Much like those same sacred vows that brought about our first meetings; my clients know that whatever the time, place or circumstance, I will be there whenever they need me, for any occasion.

__________

One of these quality friends with whom I’ve had a long journey with is Cindy.

__________

__________

While sitting at the front desk of a past job, before I had my own location; Cindy walked-in off of the street and said “I hear there is someone here who does makeup really well” and expressed to me that she was getting married the following week.

Days later, we scheduled a trial makeup application – and it has been history ever since…

__________

Since then, I have done Cindy’s makeup in the comfort of her own home for her Wedding, the holidays, throughout her 9 month pregnancy, for the Christening of her beautiful baby son, her first Mother’s Day, the transitioning into her new home, and everything in between – including most recently, her 2 year Wedding Anniversary this month!

__________

__________

I am truly thankful to each and every one of my clients, and can only hope to be there as much for them, as they have for me in helping to support my business.

From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU!

When you think of trendy and even edgy colors and dramatic makeup techniques, some mall makeup counters come to mind…

__________

However, what if you could achieve everything you wanted – intense shadows, extreme lashes, makeup to last you through your day (and night … and even next morning!) WITHOUT having all eyes on you in an open, crowded mall…

__________

Our personal experience is just one of the reasons that Brittany and her friends love us!

…We also know a thing or two about makeup

__________

__________

As an everyday cosmetic junkie, myself, with a self-proclaimed eye makeup obsession, it was very important to me to carry a WIDE range of color in shadows, eyeliners, blush and lip products in my Vanity 101 line – including a number of double-pigmented (super vibrant) options for the extra daring, down to the most natural shades; as everyone has their own unique style and comfort zone.

__________

At face to fase – Facial Spa & Cosmetic Studio, we lovingly refer to Brittany’s visit in the last weekend every September as “The Pregame” before her annual Birthday extravaganza!

__________

For years now, we’ve had the pleasure of taking part in her special day by providing the perfect accessory to her always-fabulous celebratory outfit!

Brittany looked stunning in her black and teal dress, and had this to say about her recent experience…

“Thanks so much Leigh Ann! I look awesome due to your awesome makeup skills Thank goodness for you! Best stay around forever otherwise I’m in trouble”

__________

On behalf of myself and our shop … HAPPY BIRTHDAY, AND SEE YA NEXT YEAR!!!

This past Saturday, August 28th 2010; one of our very own Toms River success stories reiterated that statement…

__________

Frankie Edgar – UFC Lightweight Champion of the World defended his prestigious title against BJ Penn at the UFC 118 in Boston by unanimous decision.

__________

There is no ‘question’ that “The Answer” has a huge fan base worldwide, but his biggest support comes from his hometown, family and friends.

__________

We are honored to have spent a very special occasion with those very same family and friends of Frankie’s on his Wedding Day, where we applied makeup for his beautiful Bride Renee and bridesmaids.

__________

__________

On behalf of myself and our shop – we wish nothing but continued love and success to the Edgar family, AND an undefeated title from now on!

__________

CONGRATULATIONS CHAMP!!!

September is right around the corner, and so is the beginning of a  new school year.

__________

Students and teachers alike are eager to get a fresh start for “Back to School” with new clothes, latest styles; and for those pupils transitioning into an upper grade or college – extra grooming.

__________

Boys and girls – men and women; everyone is putting the final touches on their new look – from head to toe…to brow!

Eyebrows, as small and seemingly insignificant as some think, when cleanly shaped and done correctly, can completely change your face as well as open up and brighten your eyes.
