Your little Cinderella has the perfect prom dress, the perfect hairstyle and hopefully the perfect date. But nothing completes an outfit like a flawless face. You can hit up the local drugstore, but all those little purchases add up quickly. And how in the world do you create that smoldering, smoky eye effect? Even a “natural face” is unnaturally hard work.

Let the experts at M·A·C Cosmetics unleash their mad prom makeup skills. When you book an appointment to get makeup done – and spend $50 or more in merchandise – the session is free. Cindy can use the $50 to purchase powder or lipstick for pre-prom touchups, or she can finally buy that new makeup brush she’s been eyeing all year. It’s good towards anything in the store. If your daughter has a certain look in mind, don’t forget to bring a picture for the artist.

Don’t throw away those little boxes your eyeshadow trio or powder came in. When you return six primary packaging containers to a M·A·C counter or M·A·C Cosmetics online, you’ll receive a free lipstick of your choice. Bonus!

The M·A·C store in Plaza Frontenac is having this special event by appointment only on May 1, 7 and 8. Call 314-989-9017 to reserve a spot. M·A·C counters located inside Macy’s department stores offer this deal as an ongoing service, but you must make an appointment. Go to maccosmetics.com to find a location near you.
