From Niagra Falls, to Generation Beauty Toronto,
to Montreal…
I'm Jen from JenLuvsReviews and What's Up In Makeup is back and starting now!
Welcome to What's Up In Makeup for July 2, 2017...on this episode we are reviewing the
Top Industry News of the past week or so.
This week's major story -- Nars has decided to sell its products in China, meaning that
the popular brand is getting its share of controversy.
In 2013, the EU banned the sale of any cosmetics or ingredients that have been tested on animals.
In the U.S., animal testing is not illegal, but is left up to the company's discretion.
But in China, animal testing is the law.
Some users of the social media platform Weibo, in China, said they felt "more assured" of
quality after products were tested.
But it's more than assuring potential customers...
China is projected to become the largest market in the world for the cosmetics industry, with
an estimated $50 billion in domestic sales of beauty products in 2015 alone.
And that's a siren song that is difficult to ignore.
Currently, brands like L'Oreal, Benefit, Rimmel, Maybelline and Shiseido (which owns Nars)
are among the many cosmetic products sold in China.
Each is subject to the animal testing law.
Nars has issued a statement on their Instagram, saying, "We want you to know that we hear
you.
The global elimination of animal testing needs to happen" but that it had to "comply with
the local laws."
You can see that statement, and the reactions to it, on their Instagram account @narsissist.
And those reactions are resoundingly negative.
The company has been accused of caring "more about profits than animal welfare," and another
noted "This is called hypocrisy."

On YouTube, Ms Yeah is known mainly for unusual cooking videos, but one of her most recent
videos shows an interesting way to use food (and office paraphernalia) as makeup.
The video went viral and I know I saw it all over Facebook.
LIfehacker's Claire Lower also enjoyed the video, enough to try to recreate the effect.
She didn't have the exact same ingredients Ms Yeah did, but tried her best with flour
and cocoa powder for foundation, contouring with cocoa, coffee for eyebrows and a regular
pen for eyeliner.
For shadow, she used green skittle water with flour, and strawberries with ketchup for the
lips. Was she successful?

"Real Housewives of Potomac" Star, Gizelle Bryan
has officially launched EveryHue Beauty after two years of development.
The brand includes a tinted moisturizer (available in 12 different shades), a foundation brush
and blending sponge.
The formula includes vitamin C and E, aloe, and has SPF 25.
Bryant told PeopleStyle, "I, with my silly self, thought it would take six months [to
create].
There were some formulations that we came up with that were good but they weren't
great and I didn't want to come out with something that wasn't great that I didn't
believe in."
Watch for EveryHue items to roll out every three months.
Next up is a trio compact that includes a highlighter, a setting powder and a bronzer,
which will be available in two color hues.
Following that will be a matte lip with top gloss.
Glow Perfect Tinted Moisturizer, $36.

We've told you before about Beauty Pie, the membership-only makeup outlet that launched
last December.
With a mission statement of low-priced makeup, under the belief that "Most luxury skincare
has a price markup of 10 times the cost it takes to manufacture it", the brand has many
fans and members...including Bobbi Brown.
At the end of May, Beauty Pie unveiled skincare products in their online mix.
The skincare line now includes 11 products, with prices from $5.21 to $13.11, and range
from a cleanser to micro-peel drops, to an anti-aging cream and a Korean-style mask.
Future goals include a retinol range, a vitamin C range, and super hydrating products.
Even adding in the $10 monthly membership fee, this is definitely a bargain compared
to mainstream products.
Blushington is the place to go when you want to get a special makeup application, and you're
in California, New York or Texas.
With that in mind, what better idea could they have than to establish a Father's Day
celebration Makeup 101 class, to teach tweens and Dads makeup from the ground up?
Well now, it's a permanent part of the beauty lounge's menu.
It was such a hit for both girls and their pops who want to understand where the contour
goes.
"What really struck me out of our class was this was the child sharing her passion with
the parent," adds Blushington CEO Natasha Cornstein . "It's a complete role reversal....The
dads have been completely hands-on — we even had some of them testing Jouer lip prep
on themselves."
During the 90-minute group course, which costs $50 per father-daughter team, both work with
an expert to learn about which products to use and when, and they then take turns applying
the product with the proper tools.
The average participant is between the ages of 11 and 14...prime seekers of YouTube tutorials,
but Blushington is more about age-appropriate looks.
Makeup 101 courses are available at two locations in Southern California, in Manhattan and Dallas.
