MANILA, Philippines - What can you accomplish in under 15 minutes? It just seems like too short a period to do anything, except maybe hit snooze and sleep a little bit more. If you’ve always wondered how other women do it — that is, emerge from their homes and into the world with a perfectly made-up face — next week just might be your lucky week. MAC’s director of makeup artistry Gregory Arlt has taken his expertise to social media, with how-to videos on creating a flawless face, from applying foundation without looking like a geisha or a living warning on how not to contour, to shaping your eyebrows and creating a selfie-worthy pout.
It’s called Instant Artistry, a series of live demos, one-on-one tutorials and easy-to-follow videos that MAC is holding from June 19 to 25 at SM North EDSA, The Block Atrium. In the educational videos, Gregory takes us through a step-by-step guide to doing makeup like a pro, and proves that 15 minutes is, after all, just enough time if you know what you’re doing. Here’s a sneak peek of what’s in store, a lesson on something every woman wants and needs to know — how to shape your brows, quickly, painlessly and successfully.
