City of Hope Fashion Show

City of Hope, a leading research center for cancer, diabetes and other life-threating diseases, hosted a fashion show fundraiser in the City of Industry on Saturday, Dec. 3.

Taking place at the Pacific Palms Conference Center, the event welcomed nearly 500 guests. Featuring collections from designers Single, Dolce Cabo and Lulubella, the program was a huge success!

Our very own, Cristina Romeo, Polaris Cosmetics owner, served as director of makeup during the event.

“It is such a privilege to be a part of a team that gives back,” Cristina said. “I’m happy and excited to see the fashion and makeup industry contributing to such a great cause.

The Runway Event with Giuliana Rancic

We had a fabulous time at the Runway Event hosted by Giuliana Rancic at the Ontario Mills Mall.

Polaris Cosmetics owner, Cristina Romeo served as the director of makeup during the program. The show was put on by James Campbell Productions and styled by Vincent Boucher.

Among the gorgeous models that strutted their stuff on the 60-foot runway were Amanda Fields of Project Runway and Nicole Linkletter, America’s Next Top Model Cycle 5 winner.

“James Campbell is always a pleasure to work with. I was so lucky to be surrounded by such a talented crew.”

LIVE OC Magazine October 2011

Polaris Cosmetics is featured in this month's Style & Beauty issue of LIVE Orange County Magazine!

We had a great time on set with the crew that helped prep the beauty that graced the cover of LIVE OC Magazine's October Style & Beauty Issue!

Adorning the cover is the lovely actress April Bowlby. You might recognize her from her work on Two and a Half Men and Drop Dead Diva.

"There’s something angelic about April Bowlby. She exudes this sensual quality in a soft way that evokes a soothing aura.

She was wonderful to work with because she was so open and receptive. It made the experience pleasurable as an artist.

It was easy to create different looks for her, she is simply beautiful."

-Cristina Romeo, Polaris Cosmetics owner and creative director

Cristina gave the starlet a very fresh and natural look.

To execute a clean and flawless canvas, April Bowlby is wearing one of Polaris Cosmetics best selling lipsticks, Hyper. The color, created by Cristina, gave April the perfect peach look. We can assure there is no other color quite like it on the market.

The television star is also wearing one of our signature blushes, 777. The mineral based color can easy brighten the apples of one’s cheeks or be swept over the lids.

Polaris Cosmetics products can be purchased in-store or through our website.
