After over a decade of dedicating her career to beauty, professional makeup artist Sarah Rillon presented her first seminar for makeup artists and enthusiasts of all levels.

Entitling her seminar “TRANSFORMATIONS” was perfect especially since she is nationally known for the before-and-afters of her clients.  She understands how even the smallest detail can affect one’s self-esteem.  And with her down-to-earth, humble, and super bubbly personality, Sarah has a gift in making someone feel beautiful.

Not only does her clientele include tons of people at the MAC counter, but also publications and networks such as People, Hampton Roads Magazine, Vow, WHRO, TLC and numerous national commercial campaigns.

Needless to say, it was time for her very own beauty seminar, which was such a great turnout.  We had the chance to view many different looks presented by models as well as witness a live “transformation” of one model.  At the end, Sarah also quizzed her audience and awarded them with prizes.

What attendees each received from her class included different techniques of applying different looks for different occasions, a goody bag, tons of cookies and brownies (if you follow her on Instagram, you’d know that she is a food fanatic), prizes, and of course a chance to talk to her personally.

Overall, the attendees were ecstatic for this event.  During the giveaway portion, people were eager to yell out answers for prizes.  And what everyone of all makeup levels took from this event was something that they could improve on or were not really familiar with, like how to properly shade eyebrows or how to contour correctly.

Last but not least, Sarah also invited her best friend as a special guest hairstylist, Christina McCarver.  Christina has been featured in New York Fashion Week, Allure, Elle, Nylon, and many more.  She elaborated on how hair and makeup coincide, and also how important it is to have a finished look with the right balance.

“Not everyone gets the opportunity to make people really feel beautiful and feel great about themselves.  It’s not just about aesthetics; it’s about how they feel on the inside.”  —Sarah Rillon, Professional Makeup Artist
