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.

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!

With less than five months before the start of the 31st Annual Hawai'i Farm Fair, now is the time to start overgrowing a competitor for the Giant Pumpkin Contest.

Entries for the contest, which will be held July 25-27, will be accepted through July 1 at county Farm Bureau offices. Winners will be determined by weight, with prizes up to $500. Young Brothers Ltd. is providing free shipping for Neighbor Island competitors from July 15 to 22.
