At each tour stop, a team of top Clinique makeup experts and hairstylists will provide makeovers to get all Clinique Fresh Faces hopefuls camera ready. Signature looks created for The Clinique Fresh Faces Tour will be available and each participant will get to choose the one best suited for her skin tone and desired end-look.

So, whether selected as one of the three lucky winners or not, everyone is a star at The Clinique Fresh Faces Mobile Beauty Studio.
Participants will also enjoy a one-on-one, editorial-style photo shoot, taking home with them a professional headshot – a token from Clinique and Teen Vogue. Their photo will then be uploaded to www.cliniquefreshfaces.com and enrolled in the search. Participants can also use these photos to send to friends, post onto their Facebook page or Twitter from laptops in The Clinique Fresh Faces Tour lounge area. Women who can’t make a tour stop can enter by uploading a photo online at www.cliniquefreshfaces.com.

THE BIG PRIZE

At the end of the tour on November 6th, all photos will be collected and a panel of Clinique and Teen Vogue experts will join America in voting to determine three lucky young winners. The winners of The Clinique Fresh Faces Tour will be flown to New York City for a professional photo shoot to be featured in Teen Vogue. The winners will also be awarded a coveted Teen Vogue externship: a behind-the-scenes tour of Teen Vogue’s office where they will meet fashion and beauty editors, explore the famous fashion closet and get a taste of how a magazine operates. They will also be presented with a tour of Clinique’s worldwide headquarters and spend time with Clinique’s Product Development team to learn the secrets behind creating a new beauty product. Each of the three winners will receive a head-to-toe makeover styled by Teen Vogue and a year’s supply of Clinique products personalized for their skin care needs. From the minute they step onto Clinique’s Mobile Beauty Studio to the unveiling of their Teen Vogue spread, these three young women will experience the ultimate model treatment.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
