Few of us mere mortals roll out of bed looking like pinups. Happily, Rouge Cosmetics in Salem offers free lessons from the pros behind the posh labels stocked there. In celebration of the store's first anniversary this month, the fall schedule is packed: Bare Escentuals' "make-unders," a super-secret Stila event (well, not so secret any longer), a personal appearance by cosmetics guru Paula Dorf. The best part? Most clinics are one-on-one. But hurry. The half-hour and one-hour slots - yes, they're really free - book quickly.
