In addition to being a cool gathering spot with brand activations and product sampling, Creators Loft will offer ample opportunities for content creators to learn more about scoring paid brand deals through a "Lashover Masterclass" with an imPRESS^® celebrity make-up artist expert demo-ing their brand new no-glue underlash product, along with mentorship sessions with industry experts.

"The positive feedback we received from our community on our first Creators Loft this fall was extraordinary, and we are so excited to bring this experience back to NYC and back to our community, this time with some new surprises and opportunities in store for them," said Stephanie Kaplan Lewis, co-founder & CEO of Her Campus Media. "We are passionate about helping Gen Z influencers further their careers and team up with amazing brands, and about building awareness and relevance for our brand partners with Gen Z, and our Creators Loft event does just that."
