Luxury cosmetics and beauty brand Whip Hand Cosmetics is launching the 'Fame Your Name' Cosmetics Naming Contest, which asks makeup artists, cosmetics junkies, fashion designers, models, photographers, stylists, beauty and cosmetics bloggers and fans to help the edgy, up-and-coming, Detroit-based cosmetics and beauty company name its new makeup remover product.

In return, the Grand Prize recipient will have their winning name featured on the Whip Hand Cosmetics makeup remover product and packaging at the company's official launch and debut at The International Makeup Artists Trade Show in New York City, April 14 & 15, 2012. 

Even better, Whip Hand Cosmetics will include a card profiling the Grand Prize Winner with every bottle of the makeup remover the company ships for the next year. The winning entry will become the official, permanent name of the makeup remover product.

Enter the contest today at the Whip Hand Cosmetics 'Fame Your Name' Cosmetics Naming Contest.

'Whip Hand Cosmetics was built on the idea that we wanted to create a company that included beauty, fashion and cosmetics professionals in the process of creating exceptional, innovative and trend-setting products that met and exceeded professionals' needs,' explains Riese Lauriat, Whip Hand Cosmetics Founder and Chief Makeup Artist.  'Even more importantly, we believe in promoting great talent, regardless of their level of experience, credentials, pedigree, or connections. That's why we took the step of upping the ante, by giving the person with the winning name the opportunity to be promoted alongside our product when it ships.'

The contest asks beauty, makeup and fashion professionals, as well as the public, to come up with a name for Whip Hand Cosmetics' new makeup remover product.

Whip Hand Cosmetics is accepting entries for the first round of the contest until midnight EDT Monday, March 12, 2012. The contest is open to U.S. residents, 18 years or older.

A group of judges at Whip Hand Cosmetics will choose the final five most promising names from all of the entries and announce them Wednesday, March 14th, 2012 on the Official Whip Hand Cosmetics Facebook page. The product name that receives the most "Likes" during the public voting period will become the official name of the makeup remover product.

The four Runners-Up will receive a $25 Whip Hand Cosmetics Gift Certificate and a free 8 oz. bottle of the makeup remover when it's released.

About Whip Hand Cosmetics
Whip Hand Cosmetics offers luxury cosmetics and skin care products developed and manufactured in Detroit, by women for women, with attitude. The company's innovative and trend-setting cosmetics and beauty products are made in small batches by hand. This process, while more labor intensive, sets Whip Hand Cosmetics apart from many large, corporate-owned cosmetic brands and manufacturers who 'private label' the same product to multiple distributors and salons, often at different prices. The only way to own Whip Hand Cosmetics products are to purchase them directly from Whip Hand Cosmetics through their online boutique or from a select, approved Whip Hand Cosmetics salon or retailer.

The Whip Hand Cosmetics Collection will officially debut at The International Makeup Artists Trade Show (IMATS) April 14 & 15, 2012, in New York City. To attend, visit: http://www.imats.net/
