Leslie' s shop is located in Hunt Valley, right off of York Rd (check for the pink awning). The shop is stocked with accessories, jewelry, purses, makeup, and a private area for waxing and facials. I've been purchasing makeup, receiving makeup lessons, and getting my eyebrows shaped by Leslie for about ten years. I also had the privilege of working as her assistant for a summer, so I've observed firsthand the confidence she instills in women of all ages.
Leslie's worked on some very famous faces: Bill and Hillary Clinton, Julia Roberts, Tom Cruise, Gene Hackman, Keanu Reeves, Madeleine Albright, Kirstie Allie, John Madden, Richard Gere, Adrian Brody, Newt Gingrich, Cal Ripken Jr., Brady Anderson, Colin Powell, Ralph Fiennes, Ed Norris, John McCain, Martin and Katie O'Malley, Joaquin Pheoenix, and so many more. She's the first woman called when a big studio movie comes to the area.
But most of us aren't celebrities -- yet. Luckily we have Leslie to treat us like we are. Here's an an example. Over Thanksgiving break, I went into Faceworld and told her I needed a "Winter Makeover -- just no blue eyeshadow." She sighed -- she loves funky colors, especially on her younger clients. We compromised; she showed me how to use different shadows, pencils, and mascara for a silvery purple look and then green on the other eye. I loved them both, but I decided on the green. (For the record, I have been complimented on my new eye makeup every single time I've worn it.)
Leslie helped me find a foundation that worked for my sometimes oily/sometimes dry skin and an eyeliner that would last all through my eight-hour shift at work. We created color pallets for everyday, work, and going out. And let's not forget the eyebrows. Leslie's painless eyebrow shaping is a makeover in itself. She also specializes in weddings, customizing veils and bridal accessories, and she prepares brides for the big day with hair and makeup. Faceworld offers airbrushing techniques, including temporary tattoos, costume makeup, Brazilian bikini waxing (ouch!), face painting for children, and cover up for that unwanted “bad girl” tattoo. The makeup isn't as cheap as Rite Aid, but it's a much better decision to buy a slightly more expensive eyeliner that will actually stay on. More importantly, no matter what you think, most people don't know the best colors for their faces or choices such as powder versus foundation. I've seen way too many college girls with thick rings of black eyeliner and shiny, gloppy lip gloss. Trust the expert. Leslie sells only the best products, so not only will the makeup look good on you, it will last.
Leslie came along to do my makeup when I got my acting headshots, and she's done my makeup for plays, rock concerts, homecomings, and proms. She's become like an aunt or older sister to me, and I've seen the same kind of connection between Leslie and her other clients. Leslie makes each visit fun and personal. She always knows who you're dating or what you're studying in school. What she does for women is equal or greater than a session o therapy or yoga. Physical confidence is priceless, and Faceworld is the best place to go for that much needed boost.

And there’s more! While Leslie will continue offering her cosmetic services, she’s onto a new and exciting venture called “Pink Consignments.” The consignment shop will be housed in her current shop in Hunt Valley. Leslie will use her impeccable taste to consign decorative furniture and accessories, lamps, vintage jewelry, cocktail bags, and more. Pink Consignments is accepting donations now through June. And even better? Donors can receive up to 60% in profits!
For more information, just visit PinkConsignments.com. I know I’ll be there -- I can’t wait to find some pretty and funky items to decorate my new apartment!
