LOVER® Cosmetics Demo’s Simple Beauty in 5-Steps on NewBeauty’s TalkShopLive® Channel

LOVER COSMETICS

LOVER® Cosmetics founder Ashley Maurin Rodden demos the makeup line’s 5-step, simple-beauty makeup regime and magnetic palettes on NewBeauty Magazine’s TalkShop Live channel Tuesday, March 4 at 6:00 p.m. eastern. “After doing hundreds of makeovers, women kept repeating the same two complaints, ‘I don’t know how to do my makeup’, and ‘I don’t have time’. Our 5-step makeup regime and guide show women HOW to do their makeup and our 5-step palettes help women do their makeup fast,” said Rodden. LOVER Cosmetics placed first runner-up in Sept. at MakeupIn’s New York Beauty Tank Competition for its best-selling 5-step palettes and makeup classes. The line also serves as the makeup provider for the New York City Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, producing more than 1300 makeup kits for dancers and cheerleaders nationwide. The everyday woman can learn how to simplify her makeup routine, travel and touch ups from the safety of her own powder room on Tuesday. Paris-trained makeup artist Ashley Maurin Rodden is offering a quick, 5-step demo on TalkShopLive. Each palette also has a QR code on the bottom that takes women to a 5-step video. Palettes range from the smokey palette, to a very wearable nude shimmer palette, and the line’s best-selling matte palette that caters to a more mature client. “The four palettes are the colors that are most purchased and put together year after year in my studio. And, they are multifunctional! The taupe color in each is a double for a brow filler, the light shadow services as a highlighter. The wearer can actually use this one palette for a full face,” said Rodden. “Plus, the rectangular space can be used to store lashes, extra lipstick or foundation for a busy woman on the go or for travels.” Each of the palettes are made in the USA, vegan, paraben free, gluten free, EU complaint and cruelty free. The cosmetic line was started by Kansas City’s Ashley Maurin Rodden in 2006 and gained notoriety as the National Sponsor of Miss Teen USA. Rodden spent a summer interning at Chanel, Inc., in New York City and Rodden studied makeup artistry in Paris, France, at the renowned Christian Chauveau makeup school. The Kansas City-based studio services women nationwide, providing in-studio and virtual makeup lessons. The line serves as the makeup provider for the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and Spirit of America Productions, plus dance and cheer teams nationwide.

From day one, the goal was to make makeup simple for women. In 2009 LOVER® was named the national sponsor of Miss Teen USA. After hundreds, perhaps thousands of makeovers, the brand relaunched LOVER® Cosmetics in response to women’s two most common makeup dilemmas: 1) “I don’t know how to do my makeup” and 2) “I don’t have time.” The answer: LOVER®’s magnetic palettes, 5-step makeup regime and their soft, natural approach to makeup help women look good and feel good every day. LOVER placed 1St runner up in the nation at the 2024 MakeupIn beauty tank competition in New York.

Shareholder Group, Detransitioner to Call Out Gender Ideology Harm at Visa, Inc. Annual Meeting on Tuesday

NLPC

National Legal and Policy Center, an investor in Visa, Inc., will present a shareholder proposal at the payment processor’s annual meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 28. The measure asks the company to investigate risks related to its discriminatory pay and benefits policies – specifically addressing where employees affected by gender-switching advocacy have been psychologically or medically harmed, without providing remedial care – and reporting to shareholders why such compensation gaps exist in the company’s policies. Speaking at Visa’s meeting in support of the proposal will be Claire Abernathy, a 20-year-old detransitioner whose therapy, medical and health insurance providers steered her into drastic body altering procedures when she questioned her gender starting at age 12. Ms. Abernathy will address the company’s board of directors and executive leadership, explaining her difficulties in finding medical care and insurance coverage to attempt to repair the damage done to her body. An excerpt from Abernathy’s planned remarks: By age 12 therapists affirmed my feelings about my body and false identity, and made my parents feel like abusive bigots for not immediately affirming me. The therapy was covered by my parents’ health insurance. Alleged medical professionals put me on a menstrual suppression drug, and at 14 I was put on testosterone and underwent a double mastectomy. It took only 8 months between getting referred for therapy and getting my breasts removed. That is an ideological agenda in search of victims, in the name of medicine, and it’s wrong. “By failing to include detransition care, companies like Visa perpetuate the neglect of a vulnerable population,” said Abernathy. “True equity in healthcare means acknowledging the full range of outcomes in gender transitioning treatments, and ensuring that all individuals have access to the care that they need.” In its shareholder proposal, NLPC itemizes numerous graphic, ghastly body-altering procedures that are drawn from Visa’s employee health insurance coverage through CIGNA, which also covers their minor dependents. Besides early-teen mastectomies like what Abernathy was pressured into, Visa also pays for procedures including penectomies, vaginectomies, orchiectomies, and salpingooophorectomies. “Rather than affirming and funding radical medical experiments on workers and their children – which sound more like something out of a horror movie than legitimate health care – Visa needs to just eliminate this coverage,” said Paul Chesser, director of the Corporate Integrity Project for NLPC. “With detransitioner lawsuits spreading across the country against medical providers and health facilities, corporations that sponsor this ‘care’ won’t be far behind in finding themselves in court.” As NLPC points out in its shareholder proposal, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission considers failure to provide equivalent pay and benefits based on categories including “gender identity” and “sexual orientation” as discriminatory. Even the Securities and Exchange Commission agreed with NLPC that de-transitioning individuals fit under such classifications when considering unfairness in corporate compensation practices, in a decision rendered last year regarding NLPC’s shareholder proposal at Disney. NLPC sponsored similar proposals last year at Johnson & Johnson and PepsiCo. You can read NLPC’s shareholder proposal for Visa at its website. Last year Chesser also composed commentaries for the New York Post and Real Clear Markets that further explained the proposals and their necessity. Founded in 1991, NLPC promotes ethics in public life and government accountability through research, investigation, education, and legal action. ### For more information or to schedule an interview with Paul Chesser, contact Dan Rene at 202-329-8357 or drene@nlpc.org.
