L'Oréal celebrity stylist for 3-day makeover tour

L'OrEal International celebrity stylist Samuel Ocasio is expected to arrive on his first official visit to Jamaica next Wednesday to conduct a L'Oréal makeover tour organised by Pioneer Manufacturing Distribution Company, local distributors for the brand products.

Superstars Beyoncé Knowles, Freido Pinto, Jennifer Lopez and Sarah Jessica Parker are some of the many international faces of the L'Oréal make-up line and Garnier haircare line. Both brands are owned by the L'Oréal Company.

While in Jamaica, Ocasio will participate in a special invitation-only event on Thursday, February 9, which will be held under the patronage of Lady Allen, wife of Governor General Sir Patrick Allen. The following day, members of the public are invited to get makeovers by this master make-up artist at the Monarch Pharmacy, Liguanea; at Fontana Pharmacy, Montego Bay, on Saturday, February 11 and on Sunday, February 12 at Azmart, Barbican.

Each day's session will run from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.

"We at Pioneer Manufacturing Distribution Company (PMD) are excited to be hosting the L'Oréal team members for this inaugural makeover tour. We are pleased that our treasured clients and the Jamaican public will get a rare opportunity to see this master make-up artist and hairstylist at work. We anticipate an overwhelming response from professionals and members of the public," said Alfred Thomas, managing director of PMD.

Thomas said that his company has been representing the L'Oréal and Garnier brands in Jamaica for the past five years and looks forward to a long working relationship with them.
