Champagne & Makeup Evening at Parma

At the Sparkle at the Ball event in March at Mervis Diamond Importers some of the guests were treated to the kind of makeup application you would expect for models or celebrities. International makeup artist Karen Byers shared her would apply makeup as only an expert of her caliber can and the results were immediate. Karen was with Estee Lauder for 8 years and more recently with Bobbi Brown and Chanel. She has over 12 years of experience doing shoots for magazines and really knows her stuff!

On Wednesday, April 12th from 5 to 8pm you can attend a champagne evening at Parma Spa in Vienna to meet Karen. This will be a chance to bring your makeup and have some time with Karen in an intimate setting as the event is limited to 15 participants. The charge for the evening is $50 and that can be used towards any product purchase that evening. Parma will also be offering 20% off Intelegent Skincare.

So many times I hear women say if only someone could show them how to hide their flaws and bring out their best features. Most of us use makeup everyday but may have never been shown the proper way to apply it to really get the full benefits of wearing it. So here is your opportunity and what a great Mother's day gift--you can turn it into some quality mother/daughter time!

To RSVP to this event call 703-506-8401.
