Our very first makeup & skin care class of the year focused on making healthy facials for a variety of skin types that our kids can replicate at home. They were guided by Maggie Varney, Founder & CEO and beauty professionals from Multimedia Makeup Academy of Esthetics, Cosmetology and Special FX. While each wig recipient took a turn receiving a facial, the rest of our class learned about Mirabella Beauty's cleanser, toner & moisturizer as skin care is the foundation for all great makeup! We wrapped the class with a refreshing smoothie treat. Thank you to everyone who participated and made this offering possible.
