On Friday, September 18, Nordstrom will be celebrating before its doors even open. From 7:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m., shoppers can attend the Opening Day Beauty Bash to get tips and tricks from Nordstrom’s beauty experts and to learn about makeup trends. Hosted in partnership with the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation, the event will be held outside the store on Robson Street.
Nordstrom’s beauty department will be housed on the main floor (street level) of the store and will feature a wide selection of the world’s top cosmetic brands.
Click through for some our favourite beauty products Nordstrom will carry this fall.
Don’t let your summer glow fade. This shimmering face powder from Bobbi Brown will keep you bronzed rain or shine.
How to use: Brush on cheeks after blush for a luminous look.
Want to purify, tone and minimize pores? Arcona’s Cranberry Gommage Exfoliant will leave your skin feeling completely cleansed and refreshed.
How to use: Two to four times a week, apply a teaspoon to damp face in upward circles. Rinse well.
This lip gloss from Christian Dior comes in a neutral pink that makes for easy application all day long. The bonus? It stimulates collagen synthesis and promises fuller lips within weeks.
How to use: Apply as you would lip gloss.
If you’re wondering if the extra step of using a lash plumping serum is worth it, the short answer is yes. Diorshow’s Maximizer coats eyelashes to enhance the effect of your mascara and will make your lashes noticeably longer and fuller.
How to use: Apply to lashes before mascara as a basecoat.
The “swan-neck” brush of Lancôme’s Grandiôse mascara may look intimidating, but it’s surprisingly easy to use. Once you get the hang of it, you’ll instantly notice its lengthening benefits, particularly on your outer lashes.
How to use: Hold the brush horizontally with the curve up and start with outer lashes and move toward the centre lash line. For the inner lash line, rotate the brush so the curve faces downward.
A celebrity favourite, this ultra moisturizing cream is pure indulgence. It’s definitely a splurge, but will keep skin fully quenched during the cold months.
How to use: Warm cream between fingertips to release key ingredients. Apply.
MAC Eye Shadow Times Nine is the only shadow collection you’ll need this fall. With nine neutral colours in both matte and shimmer finishes, this portable palette will take you straight from the office to that after-work cocktail party.
How to apply: Apply as you normally apply eye shadow.
Trish McEvoy’s eye masks noticeably lighten and plump the under-eye area. The best part is the triangles work in just five minutes so it’s easy to fit them into your bedtime or morning routine.
How to use: Apply triangles facing downward and leave on for five minutes. Remove and massage in remaining product.
Don’t let the word “concentrate” fool you. This potent eye cream has a light feel and helps skin look younger and feel smoother.
How to use: Use day and night after cleansing under your moisturizer.
