:: Now Open:: Sephora Ponce City Market + Experience the No Makeup MAKEUP Look Tuesday 31 May, 2016
Sephora is literally a playground for makeup and a new location has opened up in the perfect hotspot of Atlanta’s new shopping experience of Ponce City Market (PCM). Ponce City Market is still a new area for locals to shop and explore, and I was excited that the Sephora brand made a hhome in this new hipster area. I am even more excited because this is the Sephora that will be the closest to my house, so happy I was extended an invite to do a preview tour before the grand opening. The new 4,064 square foot, free-standing SEPHORA store at Ponce City Market is a virtual paradise of endless beauty options with over 13,000 products from more than 200 brands, including SEPHORA’s own collection of makeup, skincare, tools and accessories, SEPHORA COLLECTION.
Me with some of my favorite blogger buds at the preview event at Ponce City Market Sephora.
As bloggers we got a chance to demo the “No-Makeup Makeup” Beauty Class with a Sephora PRO, access to the exclusive technology like Color IQ for Lip and Concealer plus, private shopping and store tour!
The demo featured a master cosmologist to show us how to achieve a very easy no make-up Makeup look that is great for everyday wear. Yes No Makeup Makeup is a thing, which give you a light coverage of makeup that saves times and of course give you the natural beauty look.
Applying lip stain instead of a lipstick for a natural lip hue
Apply BBCream instead of a heavy foundation for light facial coverage
Apply a cheek stain for a more natural blush
Finished Look – definitely looks like she has on no makeup but still looks great
SEPHORA + PANTONE COLOR IQ, the most advanced foundation matching solution available in North American beauty retail. Using Pantone’s color capture and measuring technology, SEPHORA + PANTONE COLOR IQ is the first and only beauty system to scan the surface of the skin, assign an official PANTONE® SkinTone™ number, and match a scientifically precise foundation shade from Sephora’s thousands of foundations, brands and formulas. It now has two new features within Color IQ service which includes lip and concealer color matching for every skin tone.
My perfect color IQ: 4Y04
Now it was our turn to demo the No Makeup Makeup look on ourselves. They set us up in the beauty area, layed out our beauty tools and products and we all got to play in the makeup! You guys know I dont wear a heap of make-up, but this was definitely different. I even took off my bold red lips to do this. Check out how I did my own no makeup Makeup look.

I love Sephora! They color matched me last year and I ended up with a Dior foundation that is to-die-for!!! I’m also a huge Tarte fan like you! I love their LipSurgence lip pencils!!!
I really do like Sephora, and I have had my color matched before. I look like I am not wearing makeup every day, but I really do. I just don’t like a heavy makeup look for my every day going to work face.
What fun! I love Sephora, and I like the brands they carry; we have one near us and I’m glad! It’s great that you got to try out the “no make up” look – you look beautiful!
I think I need to check out our Sephora and see if they have the no makeup look. I love to look natural, but my complexion definitely needs a bit of help.
I’m not sure if we have Sephora here in Belgium, but looks like they have fabolous products, and also extra point for giving make up demo. Love the no make up look.
Looks like a fun experience, as always, loving this post. I am so lost on the beauty side of things but you always seem to share something new with me.
I love this, it has gone from winter to summer in DC. I usually wear foundation but I’m going out and get me some BB Cream. This is a really cute event, thanks for the tips.
I haven’t had my color IQ matched before a Sephora. I haven’t spent much time shopping for makeup lately, but I do need new brushes and new lippies never hurt.
You all look great, before and after. My daughter loves Sephora, we are there about twice a month. Maybe Ill let her get a mini makeover, she would love that.
Custom make up and scents are such a great blessing. I have spent many an hour with my mother walking up and down isles trying to find just the right color or scent.
I love the no makeup look. The more natural we look the better we feel about ourselves. The even tones and a little hue is all beautiful women need. We are all beautiful in our own ways.

Oooooh I love Sephora. I could go in there and spend so much money – and sometimes I do 🙂

How fun to get a makeover at a new Sephora! It’s been forever since I’ve visited one
I love the no makeup look. It’s great for day to day stuff like running errands or hanging out with friends.
I LOVE Sephora. It’s my fave place at our mall. I’m at the Mall of America today and you reminded me I need to grab lipstick
I love Sephora so much! They have the best beauty products all under one roof.
I love the makeup/no makeup look! I’m going to have to find those products. What a fun group you have!
That no makeup look is perfect for summertime! I want to make it look like I woke up like that!
You look beautiful without makeup and I loved that other bloggers took part as well. I wish that there was a Sephora in the UK.
How fun! It’s great that you were able to check out the store. I love the NO makeup looks!
That no makeup look is perfect for summertime! I admit i don’t know anything about applying makeup.
I really do like Sephora, and I have had my color matched before. I look like I am not wearing makeup every day, but I really do. I just don’t like a heavy makeup look for my every day going to work face.
As I get older, I find I really like the no-makeup look. This sounded like a cool event. Who wouldn’t want to play in makeup at Sephora all day?
I could spend hours in that place! I love all the selection and they have a great variety of cruelty free brands to choose from:)
What fun! I love Sephora, and I like the brands they carry; we have one near us and I’m glad! It’s great that you got to try out the “no make up” look – you look beautiful!

Ah, you’re right, Sephora’s the perfect place for all that make-up galore. Good thing they’re expanding to other cities and that’s a nice giveaway!
This looks so fun! Sephora is a make-up wonderland. Always love visitng.
Do you know I have literally never been in a sephora? I am just now getting into good makeup, I need to go!
Thanks for sharing this, I will forward this information to my wife. i don’t have any idea with make up.
I’m not sure if we have Sephora here in Belgium, but looks like they have fabolous products, and also extra point for giving make up demo. Love the no make up look.
My daughter absolutely loves Sephora. She went there for her birthday and is looking forward to her next trip!
Looks like a fun experience, as always, loving this post. I am so lost on the beauty side of things but you always seem to share something new with me.
There’s one of these around the corner from me. I never knew they did so much. Must visit.
I used to go to Sephora ALL THE TIME! But, there isn’t one where I live now. I love the natural look, especially in the summer.
I know my daughter would play there all day. That would be more fun to her than a water park!
I’m digging that no make up look. You ladies seem like you had a really fun time. I’ve been seeing these pics everywhere lol.
I saw the coming soon signs outside the Sephora a few weeks ago. Thanks for the reminder to go back. I can see myself getting lost in there!
I love this, it has gone from winter to summer in DC. I usually wear foundation but I’m going out and get me some BB Cream. This is a really cute event, thanks for the tips.
I have been spending a lot more time at the makeup counters lately. I love Sephora because they carry Kat Von D line of makeup.
I need to get a color match for sure!
How fun is this, I would love to go there and check it out. glad you share this
I haven’t had my color IQ matched before a Sephora. I haven’t spent much time shopping for makeup lately, but I do need new brushes and new lippies never hurt.
You look nice. Love the lip stain. That NARS Velvet Matte Skin Tint is on my list of things to pick up for the summer.
I love the natural look. I have never been color matched or had my makeup done at sephora.
You all look great, before and after. My daughter loves Sephora, we are there about twice a month. Maybe Ill let her get a mini makeover, she would love that.
I’m down for the low key look that is pretty like yours. I’m not much of a makeup wearer anyway. So, looking natural with less is right up my alley.
What an innovative approach to matching skin tones to foundation. I will have to try out this service. Thanks for sharing. Great pics!
Custom make up and scents are such a great blessing. I have spent many an hour with my mother walking up and down isles trying to find just the right color or scent.
I love Sephora. I didn’t know about the Skincare and Fragrance IQ’s. I wonder if the Sephora near me has that? I going to go check it out
I’ve never had my color IQ done but it would be fun. I didnt’ even know that was something you could do at Sephora.
I am so looking forward to visiting the Ponce Market when I am back in ATL. Glad to see Sephora taking up residence there.
You know I have never Sephora products…hmmmm…I wonder
I love that the look of the makeup is like you have none on at all. This is truly my favorite look!
I love sephora classes. I haven’t been to one in a while, but I’ll look for one this summer.
I love Sephora! Loving the Color IQ deal…as if I needed another reason for them to take my money, lol.
My 15 year old daughter loves Sephora. She just explained to me the ins and outs of BB cream…as I was still using foundation every day. Lol.
Sephora is just the best. What a fantastic experience you had! I definitely want to try the Fragrance IQ; that’s new to me!
That looked like a great time! I’d love to het lost in a store like that. So much fun 🙂
Sephora is such an awesome store, however I have not gotten my color IQ done yet.
It’s so great that a new store is opening! It looks like you guys got a lot of great makeup tips and inspiration from the staff as well!
I love Sephora! They offer so much! I wish we had one nearby.
I love the no makeup look. The more natural we look the better we feel about ourselves. The even tones and a little hue is all beautiful women need. We are all beautiful in our own ways.
What’s hilarious is that I never wear makeup but stinking love that place! Always a ton of fun and a learning experience!
You all girls are gorgeous and I can see you are enjoying that! I wish I am there too!
I haven’t been to Ponce City Market yet but I am totally in. Love that no makeup makeup look. I need it!
This looks like a great makeup challenge. I love anything Sephora and wish I could participate!
How fun! I love this no make-up make up look – I like mine to look as natural as possible! Will have to try out some of these tips 🙂
I’ve never been in a Sephora (not much into makeup) but it looks like a cool place! Glad you had a positive experience. 🙂
