Nordstrom Cosmetics Trend Show
In celebration of its one-year anniversary, Nordstrom at Ala Moana Center will host a Day of Beauty March 21 (from 9:30 a.m. to 8 p.m.), spotlighting the newest makeup, skincare and fragrance must-haves. Industry experts will update you on the latest beauty trends and share their secrets.
Featured guests include Geir Ness, owner and creator of Laila Fragrance; Ron Robinson, owner and creator of Apothia Fragrances; Hank Hoffman, national makeup artist for Smashbox Cosmetics; Sandra Obagi, protege and daughter of Dr. Obagi and his legacy brand ZO Skin Health.
Here are some tips to making your perfume last, according to Norwegian fragrance designer Geir Ness:
* Don’t put the perfume on your wrist! This is the most exposed skin area and your wrist touches almost everything you do. Your perfume will disappear fast.
* Spray once or place a drop of perfume behind your ear, your neck where your blood is pulsating or inside your cleavage. Another good area is inside your elbow and even a drop in your hair will last.
* To give it more intensity, after you shower and put on body lotion, put some powder on the areas where you’d like your perfume and the powder will make the scent more intense and last longer.
Also, on March 28 (from noon to 3 p.m.) Nordstrom has an UGGS event showcasing its selection of UGG Australia fashion. There will be light refreshments, a DJ spinning music and informal modeling. Receive an UGG branded blanket or towel with a $140 purchase.
