Photo by Alice Farinas.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>I really have never liked anyone else doing my make-up, because shockingly, no one seems to be able to know how to do it right. Plus, I finally came to realize, in the last couple of years, that I don&#8217;t want brushes, pencils, etc. that have touched other people&#8217;s faces to touch mine. (I know that all make-up artists clean their brushes very frequently, sharpen pencils after every use, and do other things to keep their equipment as sanitary as possible, but I just don&#8217;t like to risk it.) But Claudia was fabulous, in general, but in specific, she let us play with the products <em>ourselves<\/em> as much as we wanted to, and then she jumped in with procedures that I deemed the safest, such is doing brows, bronzer, and blush. And she did them all perfectly!<\/p>\n<p>But the most important thing here is that we loved every product we tried from this company! Alice, who&#8217;s a much sought-after make-up artist herself, (when she&#8217;s not working with me, of course,) went absolutely nuts over the Starlooks eyeshadow palettes! I&#8217;ve never seen her so excited! The one with fifteen shades was both of our favorite find of the day.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_16151\" style=\"width: 261px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/itsnotaboutme.tv\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/rsz_6photo_1-e1414687616771.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16151\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-16151\" src=\"http:\/\/itsnotaboutme.tv\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/rsz_6photo_1-e1414687616771-251x300.jpg\" alt=\"How this for a twist?

I looked at one of them and said, \u201cOMG\u2014I love your lipstick and the shimmer on your cheeks! You have <em>got<\/em> to tell me where you got them!\u201d And she answered, \u201cRight over there\u2014these are both from the Starlooks line!\u201d So I made a beeline right over to get both of them. I&#8217;m sure that Sarah&#8217;s cute face helped the products look as good as they did, but they actually looked almost the same on funny-faced <em>me<\/em>! I was so happy.<\/p>\n<p>We spent a lot of time chatting with the rep for the company, Rebekah Schaefer, whose lipstick never moved<em> at all<\/em>, and she said it was from their line, too, of course. She told me that one of the features of the make-up is that it&#8217;s designed to be long-wearing, which is a bonus.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_16156\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/itsnotaboutme.tv\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/varmobileApplications61FB684D-87C3-4772-96E0-196F12DBF10EDocumentsqueue1414630569l_img_0082-e1414687958487.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16156\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-16156\" src=\"http:\/\/itsnotaboutme.tv\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/varmobileApplications61FB684D-87C3-4772-96E0-196F12DBF10EDocumentsqueue1414630569l_img_0082-e1414687958487-300x182.jpg\" alt=\"Alice (showing you the eyeshadow on her winking eye,) and Karen, in the photo booth, featuring their new make-up.\" width=\"300\" height=\"182\" srcset=\"https:\/\/itsnotaboutme.tv\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/varmobileApplications61FB684D-87C3-4772-96E0-196F12DBF10EDocumentsqueue1414630569l_img_0082-e1414687958487-300x182.jpg 300w, https:\/\/itsnotaboutme.tv\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/varmobileApplications61FB684D-87C3-4772-96E0-196F12DBF10EDocumentsqueue1414630569l_img_0082-e1414687958487.jpg 745w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-16156\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Alice (showing you the eyeshadow on her winking eye,) and Karen, in the photo booth, featuring their new make-up.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>And during the all-day event, they served fruit-flavored sodas to keep our strength up, and had a fun photo booth, (with great lighting I was happy to see,) where we could dress-up, (Alice choose a crazy goddess head-dress, while always-understated moi went with a pink boa, of course,) and take photos at any time.
