Puffs Gives Facebook Fans the Chance to Help Those in Need and Ignites an Inspiring Dialogue with Women Everywhere
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The Puffs brand has partnered with the Dress for Success organization to provide beauty and wardrobe makeovers for deserving women across the country, hosting a finale event here in the Big Apple. Celebrity make-up artist Jake Bailey and stylists from PANYC salon were on hand today to help women look and feel their best as they begin new chapters of their personal and professional lives.

Bailey was on site providing beauty makeovers to the women while sharing make-up tips and tricks that they will be able to use every day. Teaching everything from blending colors, gently removing excess shine, blotting lipstick and even applying mascara, Bailey and Puffs equipped each woman with the tools they’ll need to put their best face forward long after the event.
“Both Puffs and Dress for Success feel confidence is tied to beauty,” said Laura Dressman, Puffs communications manager. “We’re honored to partner with such a wonderful organization and to have Jake, an expert in beauty, on hand to offer these women the services and information they need to feel confident no matter what they face.”
Because Puffs believes every woman deserves to look in the mirror with confidence and feel beautiful, they launched a community on their Facebook page. Fans can encourage each other to look and feel their best, by sharing inspiring words on how they put their best face forward every day. Participation in the conversation offers fans the opportunity to donate to Dress for Success and make them eligible to win prizes.
“Through these Puffs sponsored events, our women in San Francisco, Chicago and now New York have received an extra boost of confidence they need to put their best face forward as they re-enter the workforce,” said Joi Gordon, CEO of Dress for Success Worldwide. “Dress for Success will continue to work with these women to provide them with the tools they need to succeed both personally and professionally.”
