Brave New World: Cosmetic Wardrobing
November 14, 2008 5:24 pm

If you were to apply the concepts of personal shopping, style consulting, and closet organization from fashion to beauty, you’d come up with cosmetic wardrobing—or at least the good folks at Le Métier de Beauté did when branding the new service they’re offerring exclusively at the John Barrett Salon. The niche cosmetics line that views makeup as a luxury craft rather than a vehicle for vanity, Le Métier de Beauté has conceived a bespoke beauty program, in which makeup artist Lynsey Laskowski assesses and corrects your current makeup regimen while teaching you proper application tips and doling out product recommendations. But this isn’t just about pushing product. Customers are actually encouraged to bring in their current makeup—which may or may not be silently judged (side note: There’s nothing wrong with keeping a few Wet n Wild mainstays around. They make a mean bronzer). Laskowski will then work with what you’ve got while merely offering “suggestions” for products that could “complement” your collection. Each two-hour appointment costs $400, which includes a $200 value in products. For more information or to book an appointment, call (212) 872-2700.
