Embrace Your Beauty: 6 Day Makeup and Self-Care Retreat

Gather on the island of O’ahu during the end of fall for a week of makeup lessons, personal care, and positive self image practices.

A JOURNEY INTO THE WORLD OF MAKEUP AND SKINCARE…

This retreat will provide daily opportunities for you to dive into the world of makeup and skincare through various techniques, methods, and treatments catered towards a wide variety of complexions and facial structures. You will explore working with different products, learn varying styles of application, and discover your personal preferences for full authentic self expression.

SELF DEVELOPMENT AND GROWTH

Not only will you explore external beauty practices to support confidence in authentic self expression, but you will also participate in guided group work to reflect on internal beauty practices surrounding your self image, how you view and talk to yourself, and ways to invite more personal care, kindness, and positivity into your mind-body-spirit.

A WARM AND POSITIVE SPACE

The environment of this retreat will be very welcoming, inclusive, and inviting for all women to participate in. We truly want this experience to feel safe, supportive, and uplifting to encourage vulnerability and kindness to others and the Self, while exploring the practice of positive self-image, personal care, and beauty positivity.

WHO IS THIS EXPERIENCE FOR?

THOSE LOOKING TO FURTHER EXPLORE THEIR BEAUTY AND SELF CARE ROUTINE

If you’re looking to learn more about beauty and personal care practices-this is the perfect experience for you! Maybe you tend to neglect these practices due to current life circumstances, maybe you never properly learned how to do certain makeup or skincare techniques, or maybe you are unsure of what ‘looks’ and ‘feels’ authentic to you. This retreat will help you learn a variety of different beauty and personal care methods, so that you can form the most beneficial, positive, and practical routine for you.

THOSE WHO MAY FEEL UNCONVENTIONAL

This experience in particular, welcomes women of all beauty types. Many of us may have felt or been perceived as ‘unconventional’, ‘exotic’, ‘not enough’, or maybe have even suffered with self esteem surrounding specific physical traits. This retreat aims to encourage beauty in diversity and uniqueness, so that you may see and present yourself more confidently and authentically, without external or internal unworthiness.

THOSE SEEKING A KIND AND POSITIVE ENVIRONMENT

Our environment has a lot to do with how we ‘blossom.’ Surrounding yourself with high vibrational, uplifting, and supportive community that seeks for everyone to thrive is of significant importance, in order to create not only personal growth, but also collective growth. This retreat will attract women from all over looking to hold space for one another to be seen, appreciated, and uplifted.

THE PRACTICE

INTERNAL REFLECTION AND OBSERVATION

Each day will open with guided group work to explore our internal world and observe our personal self-image. This will help us to better understand any insecurities, negative self-talk, or habits that may have originated from either external influence or from within, that keep us in a low vibration of how we view and treat ourself. These daily exercises will help us to become more aware of our inner Self and how to maintain more positive mindsets to reframe these behaviors and thought patterns.

EXTERNAL AWARENESS AND APPLICATION

Daily classes and workshops surrounding various makeup techniques, skincare methods, personal care practices, and movement sessions will be offered to help us become more aware of our physical Self, appearance, ways to care for and authentically express ourself. These practices will all help us to better understand all of the different ways we can embrace beauty positivity, ‘what works’ and ‘what doesn’t’, and what feels best to each of us.

DISCOVERY AND CONFIDENCE

Through the combination of both internal and external exploration, we will discover what feels best from the inside-out. This will instill confidence in knowing our personal and practical preferences for self-care and beauty, so that we can confidently shine, blossom, and authentically express ourself however we choose, from the heart.

THE TIME

Each day will include an open moment for you to rest, relax, and indulge in personal time for yourself. You may choose to enjoy afternoon tea in the Vernanda, relax by the pool, swim in the ocean, rest near one of the many quaint areas around the resort, book a spa service, or experience a sightseeing activity or excursion off site. This time is open for you to listen to your body and to spend as you feel called.

THE INTENTION

To create a collective space for women from all over to gather together, explore personal care, beauty practices, and to ultimately embrace our unique individual beauty. The intention of this experience is to encourage confidence and beauty positivity in the authentic Self through mindful self-care practices and makeup and skincare education.
