LIVE ENGRAVING & ETCHING - AUSTIN, TX

A flawless face deserves a flawless touch ✨

I had the absolute joy of partnering with Laura Mercier for their Flawless Face Masterclass & Brunch here in Austin, Texas. The event took place in the effortlessly chic Quill Room at the Austin Proper Hotel — a setting that perfectly matched Laura Mercier’s refined, timeless aesthetic.

This beautifully curated morning brought together local influencers for an intimate, elevated experience blending artistry, education, and bespoke details. Guests were treated to a behind-the-scenes masterclass with Laura Mercier experts, indulged in a stunning brunch spread, and received a very special keepsake:

Live Engraving on Laura Mercier’s Iconic Setting Powder

For each attendee, we hand-engraved their name or a custom phrase directly onto the brand’s beloved loose setting powder. This luxe, interactive touch transformed an already-coveted beauty product into a one-of-a-kind memento. Guests loved seeing their compacts personalized right in front of them — a detail that made the event feel all the more intimate and unforgettable.

A Second Layer of Personalization: Pre-Engraved Gold Pocket Mirrors

In addition to the live engraving experience, I had the pleasure of creating pre-engraved gold pocket mirrors for each guest — doubling as both name cards and keepsakes.

Each mirror was engraved in-studio prior to the event, ensuring every guest had a beautifully personalized piece waiting for them at their seat. This thoughtful detail served not only as a functional escort card but also as a luxe gift guests could slip into their bags and use long after the event.

By layering pre-event engraving with live personalization onsite, we were able to create multiple, memorable touchpoints that celebrated each attendee in an elevated and intentional way.

Why This Event Was So Special

As a live artist, I love when brand activations are designed with connection in mind. This event was a masterclass in thoughtful brand experience — from the soft, sophisticated color palette to the artisan coffee service and the creative vendor collaborations. Every detail spoke to the artistry and care that Laura Mercier is known for.

This event is a perfect example of how live engraving can elevate influencer and PR events — creating a share-worthy, luxury experience that leaves a lasting impression. Whether in Austin or across the country, we bring that personal, artful touch to brand activations of all sizes.
