Talk about taking it to the ‘extreme,’ that’s exactly what I did…Xtreme Lashes. I attended their invitational after-hours party last night, which was the party after the party; the monthly ‘Ladies Night Out’ event sponsored by the Market Street retailers, which is always coordinated by our local fashionista, Stacy Harris of Stacy Harris Images.

'Xtreme' make-over at Xtreme Lashes

Xtreme Lashes took their ‘xtreme’ party to the street. The west end of Market Street was a block party with a D.J., hot beverages, and a dessert bar inside. The event came complete with a facial make-over, so I figured, why not? And those who know me are probably saying, “Please do!” Unfortunately for Cheri Jones who drew the short straw (pun intended), and wasn’t sure what to make of a hippie throw-back who grew up in the au-natural era, devoid of make-up. She asked, “So, what are you thinking?”  I asked her the same question, and she probably thought to herself, “Let’s start with sandblasting.” I suggested a dramatic eye treatment; something for the evening holiday parties, and just told her to surprise me. I’m sure she was thinking, “This is going to be work, and this party is suppose to be over at nine.”

Armed with her leather bandolier of brushes, Cherie went to work. More like an artist painting on canvass than applying make-up, I now understand why they’re called make-up artists. In order to take it to the next level whereas make-up artists are qualified to do make-up for the Broadway productions or the ‘big screen,’ one must hold membership in ‘the union.’ Cherie has completed the necessary requirements to join this elite group. Now whether or not she could reinvent me, well, see for yourself in the center of the photo collage. I loved it!
