Suesh Goes To CDO

Suesh successfully held its free makeup workshop in Cagayan de Oro last Sunday, June 26,2011. Through its local distributor, Spruce,  Suesh had the Brew Berry Cafe packed with beauty-savvy women who attended the event.

Ms. Suzanne Tan of Suesh, who trained in Tokyo for Kanebo Philippines, gave a lecture and demo on proper skin care and makeup application. She taught the audience two looks: the daytime look and the smokey eyes using the palettes sold by Suesh.

Although I practice makeup professionally, I still grabbed this chance to attend the session  because I believe there is always something new to learn. True enough, her techniques are easy to grasp and helpful for women who are always on the go but can't skip the makeup part in their daily routine. I've been trying out the looks to work for the past 2 days, using the quick steps discussed in the workshop.


The event was not like the usual paid Suesh makeup workshops in which participants are provided with materials and handouts to do makeup on themselves. This one was more of a demo of their products, serving  as the launching of Suesh in Cagayan de Oro. But then, no one's complaining coz for a free event with new makeup tricks taught, the attendees were also served with overflowing snacks.


Some of the products were put on display, which were readily patronized by the guests. I bought  a green makeup palette for Php 350 (which is Php300 on the Suesh multiply site) and a liquid eyeliner for Php150, which I will review on this site soon.

Suesh will now be available in CDO through Spruce at the 2nd floor of Limketkai Center.
