Makeup Bag Makeovers at La Prairie

New York City makeup artist Raychel Wade is the new Colour Ambassador for ultra luxe beauty brand La Prairie and will be making appearances at select stores nationwide to spill her secrets on colour and give women her insider picks on makeup bag must haves.

Raychel’s particular expertise is in sizing up women’s “makeup personalities” based on their lifestyles, then helping them edit their makeup bags to streamline keepers and fill in the holes of anything that’s missing. From CEOs to recent college grads, brides to baby boomers, Raychel’s worked her makeup magic on them all. In fact,  I had a chance to sit down with her last week and she had great insight on what to lose and what to add to my personal stash.

Raychel’s kicking off her official partnership with La Prairie at Saks Fifth Avenue New York during their annual “Brushes with Greatness” event on Wednesday, July 15 and Thursday, July 16.  During her appearances, Raychel will also be sharing a sneak peek at La Prairie’s stunning Plumage de Nuit fall colour collection (below).

Plumage de Nuit is a complete colour story for Fall with products for the eyes, face, cheeks and lips. The collection (each item under $70) showcases an essential array of rich autumn colours encased in La Prairie’s signature, stunning silver beaded compacts.

Raychel’s pick for the must-have item in the collection is the universally flattering Cellular Treatment Illuminating Face Powder – a sleek highlighter / diffuser with a subtle shimmer that brings a radiant glow to any skin tone and act as an instant pick me up, morning, noon or night.

To sneak a peek at the collection and tap into Raychel’s expertise, stop by Saks this week. To learn more about La Prairie, visit this link.
