Just Announced: Melanie Mills Masterclass

April 6, 2020
1:30pm-5:30pm

We’re very excited to announce that Melanie Mills will be joining us on April 6th for her very own masterclass workshop! In this workshop, Melanie will demo on two models of different skin tones with time for a hands on portion afterwards. Melanie’s workshop will focus on sanitation, skin prep, and achieving flawless skin from head to toe using her very own gleam products.

Attendees will also learn how to apply just the right amount of that gleaming glow, how to contour & highlight naturally, tips for lashes and big, gorgeous statement eyes, as well as applying makeup that lasts all day. After the class, chat with Melanie, check out her pro carry kit, and shop the Melanie Mills Hollywood collection at a discount! This workshop is perfect for both pro and beginning makeup artists alike.

What is Gleam?

Gleam Face & Body Radiance is a revolutionary all in one Makeup, Moisturizer, and Glow you can use for face and body. 

What It Does:

Face & Body Highlight/Shimmer –  our formula is perfect as a body glow, body shimmer, body bronzer and body highlighter all in one!

Body & Leg Makeup – Body Radiance lightweight makeup blurs imperfections on the entire body, also known as “liquid pantyhose”, not heavy or full coverage makeup. 

Transfer Resistant – long-lasting formula stays put and won’t stain skin or clothing. Simply wash off with soap & water.

Flattering on all Skin Tones – every shade is a different look and any skin tone can use any shade. See our shade videos and chart below.

6 Shades – Darker shades are perfect for contour, bronzing, and amping up a tan on lighter skin. Lighter shades are perfect for glow and POP!

How To Use It:

Safe for the Face – use as an illuminating primer, create a buildable highlight or sunkissed tint

Mix it Up – blend Gleam Body Radiance with your favorite liquid foundation, BB Cream or other skincare product for an all-over glow! When using on the body, do not mix with lotions or oils or transfer may occur.

Lock it Down – top off your glow with our Gleam Body Sealing Spray to seal in your look even longer!
