Grab your friends and come play! Begin your evening at F.A.C.E. Makeup Artistry, where mirrors, pigment, and possibility set the tone. This Galentine’s night is about curiosity, color, and connection—not romance. Inspired by the historic Lover’s Eye tradition (intimate portraits of a single eye), we’re reimagining it as a modern beauty and art experience rooted in play, self-expression, and storytelling.
What to Expect
This is a drop-in event—no appointment needed.
Advance tickets are required, and you can come anytime between 5pm–8pm.
Each experience takes about 20–30 minutes, so you don’t need to stay the whole time (but you are welcome to).
Step 1 — Makeup Play at F.A.C.E.
Start at F.A.C.E. Makeup Artistry, where you’ll experiment freely with eye makeup—liner, shimmer, texture, bold color, jewels—treating your eye as a tiny canvas. There’s no right look, only exploration.
Step 2 — Write a Micro-Poem
While you’re there, write a one-sentence micro-poem inspired by your mood, your look, or whatever wants to surface in the moment. Think of it as a little love note to yourself.
Step 3 — Photo Portrait at Imagine Images
Then take a short walk to Imagine Images, where your eye will be professionally photographed as a modern Lover’s Eye portrait—beautiful, intimate, and entirely your own.
Step 4 — Your Finished Piece
Your portrait will be printed and paired with your poem, then framed in a tiny vintage-style frame. Imagine Images Photo will contact you when your finished piece is ready for pickup.
The Vibe
- Galentine’s > Valentine’s
