Think of this as a beauty pep talk meets girl’s night in, just with better lighting and someone finally showing you what to do with bronzer. Join Andrea Abraham, founder of Woosh Beauty, for a fun, low-pressure workshop that takes the stress out of makeup.

We’ll walk through the everyday basics, no contouring degrees or TikTok-level skills required, using Woosh’s cult-favorite Fold Out Face palette and clever brush set (free with registration). It’s the easiest way to look like you tried… without actually trying that hard.

Ask questions. Play with product. Laugh a little. Learn a lot. You’ll leave feeling glowy, confident, and maybe wondering why no one ever taught you makeup like this before.

Come as you are. Leave with a game plan. And (hopefully?!) a new obsession.
