LOVER® Cosmetics Demo’s Simple Beauty in 5-Steps on NewBeauty’s TalkShopLive® Channel

LOVER COSMETICS

LOVER® Cosmetics founder Ashley Maurin Rodden demos the makeup line’s 5-step, simple-beauty makeup regime and magnetic palettes on NewBeauty Magazine’s TalkShop Live channel Tuesday, March 4 at 6:00 p.m. eastern. “After doing hundreds of makeovers, women kept repeating the same two complaints, ‘I don’t know how to do my makeup’, and ‘I don’t have time’. Our 5-step makeup regime and guide show women HOW to do their makeup and our 5-step palettes help women do their makeup fast,” said Rodden. LOVER Cosmetics placed first runner-up in Sept. at MakeupIn’s New York Beauty Tank Competition for its best-selling 5-step palettes and makeup classes. The line also serves as the makeup provider for the New York City Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, producing more than 1300 makeup kits for dancers and cheerleaders nationwide. The everyday woman can learn how to simplify her makeup routine, travel and touch ups from the safety of her own powder room on Tuesday. Paris-trained makeup artist Ashley Maurin Rodden is offering a quick, 5-step demo on TalkShopLive. Each palette also has a QR code on the bottom that takes women to a 5-step video. Palettes range from the smokey palette, to a very wearable nude shimmer palette, and the line’s best-selling matte palette that caters to a more mature client. “The four palettes are the colors that are most purchased and put together year after year in my studio. And, they are multifunctional! The taupe color in each is a double for a brow filler, the light shadow services as a highlighter. The wearer can actually use this one palette for a full face,” said Rodden. “Plus, the rectangular space can be used to store lashes, extra lipstick or foundation for a busy woman on the go or for travels.” Each of the palettes are made in the USA, vegan, paraben free, gluten free, EU complaint and cruelty free. The cosmetic line was started by Kansas City’s Ashley Maurin Rodden in 2006 and gained notoriety as the National Sponsor of Miss Teen USA. Rodden spent a summer interning at Chanel, Inc., in New York City and Rodden studied makeup artistry in Paris, France, at the renowned Christian Chauveau makeup school. The Kansas City-based studio services women nationwide, providing in-studio and virtual makeup lessons. The line serves as the makeup provider for the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and Spirit of America Productions, plus dance and cheer teams nationwide. For more information on LOVER Cosmetics or to visit www.lover-cosmetics.com or email pr@lover-cosmetics.com. Founded in 2006, LOVER® Cosmetics LLC, is a full color cosmetics line. From day one, the goal was to make makeup simple for women. In 2009 LOVER® was named the national sponsor of Miss Teen USA. After hundreds, perhaps thousands of makeovers, the brand relaunched LOVER® Cosmetics in response to women’s two most common makeup dilemmas: 1) “I don’t know how to do my makeup” and 2) “I don’t have time.” The answer: LOVER®’s magnetic palettes, 5-step makeup regime and their soft, natural approach to makeup help women look good and feel good every day. LOVER placed 1St runner up in the nation at the 2024 MakeupIn beauty tank competition in New York. The brand is also the makeup provider for the Macys Thanksgiving Day parade and Spirit of America, designing more than 1300 makeup kits for cheerleaders and dancers nationwide.

Black Radiance Announces Partnership with U.S. Figure Skater Starr Andrews

Black Radiance Beauty

Black Radiance, the leading beauty brand for women of color, is proud to announce its partnership with U.S. figure skater Starr Andrews. Just in time for Black History Month, this collaboration celebrates Black excellence and uplifts women by supporting one of the most inspiring athletes in the sport today. In 2022, Starr Andrews made history as the first African American woman to medal in singles in the Grand Prix era and the first African American woman to stand on the U.S. Championship podium in 35 years. Her resilience, competitive spirit, and dedication to excellence align perfectly with Black Radiance’s mission to empower women of color to express themselves through beauty and confidence. “At Black Radiance, we celebrate and support Black women who break barriers and redefine what’s possible," said K. MacDonald Parris, Vice President of Marketing at Black Radiance. “Starr Andrews’ journey in figure skating embodies perseverance and the power of representation. We are honored to stand by her and support her Olympic pursuit as she continues to inspire and make history on the ice.” "Figure skating, like makeup, is an art form rooted in creativity, confidence, and self-expression,” said Starr Andrews. “My partnership with Black Radiance is so meaningful because they celebrate the same values that have helped shape my journey as a figure skater. Together, we’re uplifting and inspiring the next generation to show up confidently in their beauty and their dreams." Like many Black Radiance users who are introduced to the brand by their mothers, Starr’s journey in figure skating began with her mom taking her to the rink at just three years old, creating a shared tradition of inspiration. In figure skating, presentation is key, where everything from outfits to makeup plays a role in the ritual. For Starr, putting on makeup before a big competition is as important as the hours spent practicing on the ice. It’s a powerful act of self-expression and confidence. This collaboration showcases Black Radiance’s dedication to celebrating diverse beauty, amplifying Black voices, and providing high-quality products that inspire individuals to embrace their beauty with pride. It also honors the brand’s long-standing trust and influence among women of color worldwide. Looking ahead, Black Radiance envisions this partnership evolving into a long-term collaboration, with Starr Andrews serving as a spokesperson and brand ambassador. As she continues to inspire audiences worldwide, Black Radiance is excited to support her journey while showcasing its commitment to providing accessible, high-quality beauty products tailored for women of color.
