It’s not every day a little bit of the West Coast comes to Bucks County “We specialize in glamour, not glam, but that classic Hollywood look” says Janet Bowser, owner of Allusions Cosmetics Studio located at 812 North Easton Rd. in Doylestown. “Women don’t have to wear tons of makeup to look and feel better.”
And in helping women achieve the desired look, the 30-year veteran employs her vast experience, offering consultations, custom applications and makeup services for special events like weddings. “Beyond makeup, we also offer a variety of other services,” she says. “Eyelashes fade with age, and eyelash extensions enhance your eyes, making them appear more open and eliminating the need for mascara. Bowser even offers less-permanent options. “Eyelash lifts create a soft curl to bend and lift your lashes to make them appear longer and, again, your eyes seeming more open,” she adds. “This treatment typically lasts from six to eight weeks.”
With the holidays approaching, gift certificates for any of Allusions’ products or services make a perfect present, especially for women searching for a fresh look to welcome the new year. “Your eyebrows are the frame for your face, and they also diminish with age,” Bowser says. “Eyebrow tinting gives a more youthful look, and eyelash tinting also provides a rich, youthful appearance and less need for mascara. This treatment lasts for roughly six weeks. We also offer airbrush tanning, which provides a natural look without exposing yourself to the harmful effects of the sun.”
And in addition to their walk-in services, Allusions also offers its own makeup line to get the fresh from the studio look every day. “I’m very proud of our Allusions Undercover line,” Bowser says. “It took me three years to create, working with a chemist. Because everyone has a different texture to their skin, Undercover was produced to give your skin the texture your makeup was formulated for.”
