Counter Culture

Makeup Concierge Melissa Merhar-Parker

Enter department store. Beeline for makeup counter. Ho. Hum. Catch whiff of commission-crazed spritzers. Avoid. Avoid. Avoid.

For something different, look no further than Melissa Merhar-Parker’s brand of beauty retail therapy.

The freelance makeup artist brings ten years of Prescriptives, Chanel, and Van Michael work experience to the table. (And by table, we mean she’ll truck her larger-than-life personality and skills right to your ITP loo.)

Merhar-Parker knows the ins and outs of more labels than you can bat false lashes at. She’ll do your mug to your liking, chatting you up and gifting you with pro-grade freebies (a lipgloss here, a liner there).

After she evaluates your current stash and needs, take her show on the road: She’ll help you navigate the nearest beauty department, providing sage advice to keep you looking great while saving cash.

And face.
