Get Face Time with Professional Makeup Artists

Supermodels get glammed up by top makeup artists and snapped by high-profile photographers every day. On Saturday, February 16, everyday women will have a chance to do the same when Menlo Park Mall and the Sephora store located there host the Smashbox Photo Event.

In its second year at Menlo Park Mall, the event will take place from 10 am to 6 pm on the Lower Level in Center Court.

Customers who make a minimum $75 purchase of Smashbox cosmetics at Sephora will secure face time with one of Smashbox’s professional makeup artists. They will get a professional makeover from an expert who will create a flawless, camera-ready look using some of the line’s latest beauty and skincare products.

From there, the customer will step in front of the lens of renowned fashion and celebrity photographer Steven Khan for their own personal photo shoot. Khan's work has appeared in Allure, Elle, Vanity Fair and other national magazines.

Each participant also will receive a CD of their headshots to take home.

“This is a fun event, where you can get dolled up and feel like a fashion model for a day,” says Suzy Lichter, director of marketing for Menlo Park Mall, in a statement. “We’re happy to work with Sephora to offer such a unique experience to our visitors and shoppers at Menlo Park Mall.”

Attendees are encouraged to schedule an appointment in advance in person at the Menlo Park Sephora store, or by calling 732-635-0023, ext. 3.
