Michael Marcus Cosmetics is new at Dillard’s in Penn Square Mall. But Marcus isn’t new to makeup. He has been making up women for 20 years.

He thinks he has a good feel for what they like and want. Especially Southern women.

I wrote about Marcus and his visit to Oklahoma City in today’s you! section. Here’s more from our interview.

Marcus is based in Dallas. Women here and there both like color.  Sometimes they just need a reminder.

“For so long, it has been about neutral, neutral, neutral. Women have forgotten how to wear color,” he said.

He’s bringing a reminder to Oklahoma City women. He will be at Dillard’s, Penn Square Mall, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday and Saturday.  He will give a five- to 10-minute personal consultation and recommend colors, products and skin-care regimens, then a makeup artist will offer application tips. A $50 reservation fee is redeemable in products. Call 840-8495 for an appointment.

What women find in his collection is a range of color for the eyes, lips, cheeks and eyes.  After talking with Marcus, even women who tend to wear neutrals are ready for something a bit more exciting.

The right lip color can brighten your eyes, he said. Neutrals blend in with the rest of your face.  What woman wants that?

When you choose that right color in lipstick, whether you do a lot of  eyeshadows or softer tones, it positively makes your eyes stand out more, he said.
