On Tuesday, September 24th the Kean P.U.L.S.E. Programming Board and Kean Glam Club hosted True Beauty in the Miron Student Center Plaza. From 3:30 to 4:30 pm, students were welcomed to express their beauty in their own unique way and learn beauty tips at different tables. True Beauty featured tables that taught different beauty techniques and gave away fun cosmetic tools and tote bags.
Abigaelle Thermitus, an Accounting major and sophomore from Irvington shared what part of makeup she’s most interested in.
“Lashes, lowkey. I feel like I really like nails too, but I feel like I don’t have the skill for it yet. Those are the main two.”
Simi Chavan, an Exercise Science major and freshman from Bridgewater stated why she decided to attend the event.
“I just thought it was very interesting and like I’m really into glamour and stuff, so I wanted to see like what it was about.”
She also shared her favorite part about makeup.
“Lip gloss definitely.”
Other students like junior and Fine Arts major, Mackenzie Frazier from Union, appreciate that makeup encourages creative abilities.
“My favorite part about makeup is that it is so fun, it’s an artistic expression.”
When asked what she loved most about the makeup process, Bianca Santos, an Architect major and junior from Union expressed that she loves the idea of limitless self-expression.
“That you can do whatever you want, be creative with it. It’s no restrictions with it.”
Students were able to make their own hair masks, learn how to care for their skin depending on their skin type, master the technique of eyeshadow application, create nail designs, and learn the steps to nail care. Each station offered all beauty lovers different supplies like gua shas, face masks, eyeshadow palettes, and nail care kits. Once students visited each table, they were able to eat a sweet treat at the Desert Cone Table and drink refreshing mocktails.
True Beauty had a great turnout with many beauty enthusiasts eager to learn more about self-care and beauty techniques. This event advocated for self-love and the expression of all forms of beauty.
