Beauty Secrets with Fontana Pharmacy

“Treat your makeup like jewelry for the face. Play with colors, shapes, structure – it can transform you.” Francois Nars

The standard of beauty has been distorted over the years and the society now has to deal with the shattered self-esteem of many women. Fontana Pharmacy considers themselves beauty motivators as they build relationships with women who walk into the beauty department.

Makeup has been trending more in Jamaica in recent years. Our minds and cell phones are now open to daily trends put out on Social media by beauty powerhouses such as Tarte, Inglot, LA Girl and Milani Cosmetics, as well as our ability to relate to women of colour such as Jamaican Youtuber Lyric Rochester, who is Beauty Ambassador for Fontana Pharmacy Ltd and who has a local brush and eyelash line sold exclusively through them.

On a day to day basis, you will see the budding makeup artist that wants a profession in the beauty industry and the pop-up makeup shops around the island. With all this knowledge and expertise some have still fallen victim to the knockoff makeup and hair products that flood the market. Paula-Nicole Campbell, Website and Social Media Coordinator at Fontana Pharmacy warns women about purchasing excessively “cheap” brands;

“In saving a few dollars do not take such a big risks with your skin and hair. There are very severe repercussions that may occur because you really don’t know what you’re putting on your face, what chemical have been altered to get the product to function. Best to invest with a reputable company like Fontana where customer satisfaction and training of our consultants are most important to us”
