Here’s what happened at our recent Her World M.A.C. event at Westgate

Who doesn't want to find out more about makeup? Throw in a makeover too and you have the perfect way to spend a Wednesday evening. Our reader event at M.A.C. Cosmetics at Westgate shopping centre on 15 May was a resounding success, with guests treated to makeup insights and special shopping deals. 

Her World Beauty Club members congregated at the store at 7pm, sipping mocktails and tucking into light canapes while waiting for the event to begin. After a brief introduction by Her World Beauty Editor Letty Seah, M.A.C Resident Trainer Alif gave a rundown of what he was going to cover in the session. 

A M.A.C Masterclass by Alif was up next, which entailed a makeup demo on perfecting your base makeup using M.A.C. He shared tips on how to achieve a flawless complexion featuring Studio Fix Fluid SPF 15.

This oil-controlling foundation offers medium-to-full buildable coverage and blends easily and evenly, with a matte finish. It provides 24-hour wear and all-day hydration. Plus, it's low on shine and won't cake or crease. The SPF 15 protection is the delicious cherry on top. 

Another common problem Alif addressed during this makeup demo was foundation woes, such as when your base makeup settles into fine lines or when your powder looks cakey. Guests were given tips on how to avoid this and he also added clever hacks on how to improve your foundation's wear time (even in our sweat-inducing humid weather!). 

Once the makeup demo was over, guests were treated to a skin perfecting flash makeover. This was no ordinary makeover – they got shade matched too, with a complimentary flash touch-up by a M.A.C artist.

And, in a pix-or-it-didn't-happen era, guests were also able to take Polaroid photos to capture their new look. They were invited to share them on their socials with the #IWearMAC hashtag and a message.

As everyone who attended the event was obviously a M.A.C fan, it was also a thrill to get access to special deals during this session, such as complimentary Fix+ 30ml with a Studio Fix Fluid SPF 15 purchase and a complimentary 3-pc Starter Kit (assorted) with any full-sized item purchase.

With everyone's shopping bags already pretty full by the time they left, guests got an extra treat before exiting the store – a door gift from M.A.C. featuring some of their most-wanted products.

Our Beauty Club members are loving these events, we look forward to seeing you at the next one!
