Laura Mercier does faces for models and world-famous beauties.
Celebrity makeup artist Laura Mercier does the faces of models and celebrities who appear on the covers of Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Marie Claire and Allure. She has worked with beauties such as Isabella Rosellini, Ashley Judd and Meg Ryan. She also has her own signature line of cosmetics, sold through Neiman Marcus.

Mercier is in Honolulu, today only, to help island women put their best face forward. She's also introducing her spring color collection, French Riviera, and her new wedding palettes.

There are still a few appointments open with her and her team of makeup artists, led by Benjamin Marshall, for free consultations today through Friday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Neiman Marcus cosmetics department.

Reservations are a must: 948-7584.


Play our dating game

In two days, we'll reveal the 10 finalists for Hawai'i's Bachelor. Readers: It will be up to you to vote online to narrow down our choices.

Locals in spotlight

Two island acts will be among the competitors on CBS' "Star Search," from 7 to 8 tonight on KGMB-9. Jessica Sands, daughter of '50s idol Tommy Sands, is a singer who spent her pre-teen years in Hawai'i Kai and her adolescent years in 'Aiea, attending Hawai'i Baptist Academy before moving to Washington state.

Marcelo Pacleb's award-winning 24/7 DanceForce dance ensemble from Kane'ohe will also perform tonight.


Of course size matters

Get out the hog manure, Linus!
