Makeup - Information On Mark Makeup + Where To Get
It
Mark makeupis a
newer division of Avon. While Avon is typically marketed toward
adults, Mark is geared more toward teens and young adults. The
color palette is bright and fun with many different choices.
One thing people especially like about the makeup is that you
can choose all of your own color combinations. For example,
instead of buying a package of eye shadow with four
predetermined colors, you can buy a magnetic compact from Mark,
then choose up to eight of your own colors to put into the
compact. This freedom of selection is highly popular among the
population Mark targets. With names like Fairy Dust, Night Owl,
Glitterati, Luvstruck, and Corset, these eye shadows definitely
appeal to a younger crowd.
Where to buy Mark makeup
For the
most part, you must find an Avon representative to
buy Mark
makeup.These
representatives will have a catalog for you to look at, and
then you place your order with the rep. Some reps will have you
pay them when you place the order, and others will let you pay
when you receive your order. After you order from your rep, she
has to order from Avon. Then, when the rep gets her Avon
shipment, she will deliver the merchandise to
you.
Every now
and then, you will find Mark makeup for sale
in boutiques or specialty shops. This is usually a booth or
counter that has been set up and is stocked by a local Avon
representative. If this is the case, the rep should have her
business card available at the shop. That way, if you need a
larger quantity of something or you want products that are not
in the shop, you will have someone to contact to order those
things.
You also have the option
of ordering Avon and Mark products online through the
Shop Avon website. This should be used as a last resort,
since this takes commission away from Avon reps. If you
know someone who is a representative, you should try
ordering from her. If you do not know a representative,
you can search on Avon's website to find a local
rep.
Becoming a Representative
If your
search shows that there is not a local representative where you
live, you may be interested in becoming an Avon
and Mark
makeup rep yourself. It is a fun way to make
extra money, meet new people, and help people get the things
they want. You do have to put down some money to begin, but
luckily, it is only between $25 and $35, depending on where you
are located and how much you plan to sell. With your down
payment, you receive several items to help you begin, such as
catalogs, bags, and sample products. You can also buy extras of
those things and more.
Avon
gives you a place to set up your own web page so you can also
be an e-representative. They also provide you with training
opportunities and exercises so you can become knowledgeable
about the products. You can market your merchandise in several
different ways. A couple of ways have already been mentioned:
online through the Avon site and in boutiques. You can also
create a Facebook page dedicated to your Avon and
Mark
makeupproducts. Another way to reach out
to people is through Avon parties. At these, you can
teach people about how to choose the right makeup and how
to properly apply it. Games and giveaways are always fun
ways of piquing peoples' interest in your
products.
Varieties and prices of Mark
makeup
One thing
people love about Mark makeupis its
diversity. There are many shades you can mix and match. You can
buy products for lips, eyes, or general face. You can also
select things like brushes, beauty tools, and gift
sets.
-
Lips—You can choose from tints,
glosses, powders, shines, balms, and lipsticks. Any of
these are available in over forty different shades. For
example, with the Mark makeupGlow Baby Glow Luxe Hook Up Lip
Gloss, you can choose from colors like Sun, Choco,
Lotus, Lucky, and Flirty. This gloss is shiny and
designed to catch light, giving your lips a sparkling
effect. Another unique thing about the Mark line is
that many of the products are available in the hook up
form. The hook up connectors are free when you purchase
hook up products. The hook up feature allows you to
create your own color combinations. So, you could match
a stain with a gloss, a powder with a shine, or any
other number of combinations. The Glow Baby Glow Gloss
costs $6 per tube.
-
Eyes—It is often said that the
eyes are the window to the soul. But, getting someone
to notice those eyes requires some enhancement,
and Mark
makeup can certainly help with that. As
described earlier, the eye shadows are highly conducive
to a mix and match situation. However, you can buy the
shadows in preselected packages. The Mark Seeing
Stripes Eye Color Trio is a compact with three shades
that all make a nice match. Each compact costs $6. If
you cannot choose between the trios, you can get all
four in the Seeing Stripes Eye Color Trios and Snap To
It Palette Set. This set includes a compact, four
trios, and an applicator brush all for $24. And if you
prefer to pick all of your own colors, you will want to
look at the I-Mark Custom Pick Eye Shadow, available
for $5 per shade. Mark makeup
also offers eye sticks, eye
primer, eye liner, and mascara, all for about $6
per product.
-
Face—The face products include
cheek color, base tint, moisturizer, highlighter,
powder, concealer, foundation, primer, blush, bronzer,
and shimmer. Each of these products has customizable
elements, so you can get exactly what you want. Most of
the elements are $10 or less, making them affordable
for everyone. One of the especially popular products is
the $9 Mark makeup
Twinklebelle. Mark refers
to this product as “Shimmer with a twist!” It is
a brush contained in a thick tube. To use, you
twist the handle of the brush, and a shimmery
powder comes up through the bristles of the
brush. Then, you just dust it on for an added
shine. It is available in two colors: Twinkling
Gold and Twinkling Rose. Customers report that
they enjoy the Twinklebelle because it gives just
the right amount of shimmer. It is not so much
that you look glittery, but it is also not so
light that it does not even show up on your
skin.
-
Gift Sets—The gift sets
currently include the Super Flip Color Kit for $20 and
the On the Dot Eye Color Compact for $15. The Super
Flip Color Kit is especially popular. It is a compact
that opens up to reveal a mirror on one side and a
palette of nine colors. The cool part is that the
palette is on a mechanism that allows it to lift up and
flip over, revealing nine more shades! One side holds
colors for the lips, including six glosses and three
stains. These nine colors are Lucky, Plush, Wild, Oops,
Bitten, Cutie, Pop, Wow, and Prima. The other side
holds nine eye shadows—Glitterati, Dusk, Cushy, Pool,
Java, Fairy Dust, Sepia, Piccadilly, and
Edge.
Examples Of Some Mark Makeup
Products:
1. Avon Mark Dew Drenched
Moisturlicious Lip Color
Here’s a
great product by Mark, this lipstick is designed to
moisturize the lips as you put it on. There are some
great colors in here as well, peachy, watermelon, toffee,
mist, crush, rain, wave, dew, juicy, skinny dip, ruby glaze
and pink posey. One reviewer has said they’ve tried
many of them and have yet to come across a color that she
hates.
These colors
are also “sheer”, meaning you can choose how deep the color
is by applying additional swipes and making it progressively
darker. This gives you a lot of versatility in the
colors, allowing you to go for a light look or a more
dramatic look.
The lipstick
feels like lip balm going on and has a bit of a minty flavor
to it, the tube is also compact despite the lipstick being
full sized. Thus far, this has gotten a 4.5/5 star
rating from 3 reviewers on Amazon and you can pick one up
for just $6.
