( ENSPIRE She Did That ) Glam & Sip: The Everyday Beaute 101 Class by Beaute By Elaine Elaine Williams, expert makeup artist and the owner of BeauteBeatByElaine hosted her first live 1-hour demo beauty class. Glam & Sip: The Everyday Beauty Class 101 was created to showcase and teach her beauty tips through hands-on tutorials to a diverse audience of beginners to experts. I participated in the tutorial and it was a great, personable experience. Elaine utilized her 5 plus years of beauty experience and an amazing personality to teach, encourage the class how beauty brings about love and inner beauty with one’s own hands. The event was in Brooklyn, NY which brought a diverse crowd but all had similar interests in beauty. This hands-on makeup class catered to the beauty needs of everyday women. Elaine broke down basic skills necessary to confidently execute makeup applications to enhance your natural beauty in a relaxed, friendly, fun, and non-intimidating environment. I can admit the thought of contouring, layering or blending and what you see on YouTube can be a bit much for someone like me. My preference is to keep it simple and quick. If I can get my eyes and lips together I am good to go. I felt the class applied to someone like me and even others who take more time or know plenty more about makeup than me. Attendees received gift bags valued at $100 that included items from Tulips Hair Boutique, Devinah Cosmetics, Biankabrowz, Shades of Chelz and others. I know I love a populated gift bag! There were also raffle giveaways from brands like Vera Moore Cosmetics, Luxury Tress Collection, and Adept Cosmetics. And lucky me, I was the winner of a bucket of Liquid.Joy Beverage! Cupcakes By Mema aka Avis made all the cookies, cupcakes, cakes and strawberries shots. I kid you not, everyone went up for seconds and thirds. I have to admit I hung around the strawberry shortcake to make sure I was able to take one to go. Everyone was on the same page and loved the treats. On top of learning tips, meeting new people, gift bags, and prize giveaways, everyone went home with a full belly and a smile on their face. Participating sponsors included KreativStyles and Creative Memorable Moments Events who was responsible for the decor. A team effort from sponsors and supporters made this event a great one. We can say from the reactions and feedback so far the event was a success. Looking forward to the next Glam & Sip. Be sure to follow Elaine to learn more about her brand here. ]]>
