"Summer is singing with joy, and the beaches are inviting you with dancing waves."
- Debasish Mridha
Not long left now until the IWC’s Summer break starts on the 1st of July. We shall take two months off to rest, relax and travel and to get our energy up for a new club year in September. Before that, we still have some activities lined up for you to make the best of our time together before the holidays.
Make the most of all the events on offer as we approach the end of the IWC year and keep up-to-date with last minute additions to our calendar by joining the IWC Belgrade Members Only Facebook Page.
Follow us on Facebook and Instagram, to be in the know about spontaneous events, learn about offers from our business partners and hear about IWC activities. If you have an idea for an event, contact us any time! We always love to hear from our members.
IWC MAIN EVENTS
Summer Make-up Workshop with Cecilia Gonzalez
30.06.23 from 11:00 to 13:00 | Colors4U | Terazije 35, Apt. 6
Ceclia is an Argentinian make-up artist and brow stylist with 20 years of experience first as a professional in the film industry and then in her own private studio. Her personal style developed along these years can be described as “fresh and natural”, because Cecilia believes make-up should enhance one’s natural beauty without changing one’s identity.
In this workshop, Cecilia will show you how to apply a beautiful and light summer makeup in simple steps so that we can enjoy the beautiful summer days with great makeup.
You will work with your own makeup and tools with which you are already familiar so do not forget to bring the following items:
- Make-up you usually wear, sponges and brushes (if you use them), eye make-up remover as well as cotton pads and swabs, skin cream you usually use and a small mirror.
