COR Wax Lash & Cosmetics, Anchorage

It all began with a quest to find makeup without harmful ingredients that would also look good on camera. COR Cosmetics owner Amber Brophy worked diligently with chemists to create a 100% vegan mineral foundation composed of only four ingredients and free of irritants such as talc, carmine, and bismuth oxychloride. The licensed esthetic instructor has been in the industry for more a decade and a half, recently returning to business from a brief hiatus. She has an impressive portfolio of work while enhancing faces at weddings, fashion shows, and on the celebrity-studded sets of television shows and movies. Patrons can find Amber in the Midtown area where she is renting space in tranquil Align Chiropractic.
