Corporate Lip Gloss Bar for North Shore Boutiques, Advisors, and Firms
A corporate lip gloss bar on the North Shore turns a client gathering into something guests can wear and share. Each guest picks a soft-matte lip cream or a high-shine gloss, and a host helps her build the perfect shade.
Along the lake from Evanston through Wilmette, Winnetka, and Glencoe up to Highland Park, many businesses are boutiques, wealth advisory teams, and law offices. In Evanston, Northwestern University is the largest employer, joined by ZS, Magnetar Capital, and the headquarters of Rotary International.

Why a corporate lip gloss bar works on the North Shore
Client events here are intimate, so every guest should feel personally looked after. The Lip Lab fits that style beautifully. First, a host walks her through our 16-shade swatch board. Then together they adjust pigments, shimmers, and opacity adjusters (opacity is how sheer or how full the color looks) until the shade feels right.
Finally, the color is poured into her own new tube and capped, ready to slip into a handbag. Because it is a gift she actually uses, a corporate lip gloss bar keeps your North Shore firm in mind long after the evening. Our most requested North Shore Lip Lab bookings are boutique events, law firm client nights, networking evenings, and client gift ideas for advisors, so we keep fresh ideas ready for each.
Who books a corporate lip gloss bar on the North Shore
Wealth advisors and law firms
Advisory teams and attorneys often host clients in their offices or at home. A corporate lip gloss bar on the North Shore gives every guest a hosted moment and a lasting gift. Besides, named shades on the menu can honor your firm or the season.
Boutiques and shops
For a shopper night, the Lip Lab gives guests a reason to linger. They build a shade, take photos at the bar, and share them. As a result, your store reaches their friends, too.
Hospital and university teams
Endeavor Health operates hospitals in Highland Park, Glenbrook, and Evanston. For staff appreciation or a women's network gathering, the bar is quick, cheerful, and easy to schedule between shifts. Plus, guests who prefer a subtle look can keep the shade soft and sheer.
How the Lip Lab works at a company event
Usually, two or three hosts serve about 100 guests over three hours. For a bigger room or a shorter window, however, we add hosts or pair the bar with our corporate candy bar. Many companies also book the corporate perfume bar on the North Shore alongside it.
Our lip color is made in our own lab, and full ingredient and allergen details are on our allergens and safety page. On the day, we bring the bar, linens, displays, and signage. Afterward, we pack out cleanly.
North Shore venues for a Lip Lab
Here, a client evening is more likely to happen in a garden, a concert park, or a community house than in a large ballroom.
Chicago Botanic Garden
Nichols Hall at the Glencoe garden welcomes up to 400 for a reception, and McGinley Pavilion takes 350. Plus, its gardens make a lovely backdrop for photos of guests and their new tubes.
Ravinia
It rents private event space both in concert season, July through September, and from October through May. A summer client party there pairs music with a gloss bar beautifully.
Hilton Orrington/Evanston
Its Grand Ballroom seats up to 500, and a rooftop terrace adds open-air views. Therefore, it suits a larger holiday reception with a shade named for the season.
Winnetka Community House
The Garden Reception Hall rents for corporate gatherings of up to 200 at tables. Its warm, residential feel matches a boutique or advisory client night.
Planning notes for North Shore
- In-office and in-home eventsMany client evenings happen in an advisor's office or a client's home. We need about 12 x 6 feet and two 6-foot tables, or we can bring tables for $30 each. Our team arrives one hour before guests.
- Named shades for your firmName the menu after your firm, a client milestone, or the season. Also, if you would like a shade that matches your logo, send a color code or sample at booking, and we can match it in most cases.
- Labels with your nameCustom labels with your logo or event name are printed ahead of time. So order them when you book, and allow about four weeks.
- Travel and venue rulesEvanston is about 43 miles from our Mokena studio, and Highland Park is about 53. Garden and music venues have their own event teams, so we confirm load-in and placement with them in advance. We also provide a COI (certificate of insurance, the proof of coverage venues require) naming the venue.

Corporate lip gloss bar North Shore FAQs
Is a corporate lip gloss bar on the North Shore a good fit for a small client evening?
Yes. In a smaller group, every guest gets unhurried time with a host. Plus, the Lip Lab feels personal, because each guest leaves with a color she designed herself.
Can you match a shade to our firm's colors?
In most cases, yes. Send a color code or sample at booking, and we will build a shade to match. We can also create branded signage and a shade menu in your palette.
Do you come to Evanston, Wilmette, and Glencoe?
Yes. We serve the whole shoreline from Evanston up to Highland Park. In addition, Metra's Union Pacific North line runs along the lake, and the CTA Purple Line reaches Evanston, so guests from the city can join easily.
What if some of our clients are men?
Mixed groups enjoy it too. Guests can keep the shade soft and sheer, and many make one as a gift for someone at home. That's why a corporate lip gloss bar on the North Shore works for mixed client lists, too.
How far ahead should we book a holiday client event?
Book three to six months ahead, because holiday dates fill by late summer. We send a proposal within two business days. Then a 50% deposit holds your date.
