MAC Consultant question

[cardiganagain]

I was also considering having my make up done for me, but I have no idea what it costs. Has anyone ever had their make up professionaly done at a MAC or maybe a Clinique? Were you happy with the outcome or do you wish you would have just done it yourself? What was the cost?

Stay away from MAC unless you feel comfortable with how much makeup the consultant is wearing.

It's generally expected that you purchase some products after your done.

I had my makeup done at Sephora for my brother's wedding. You just have to buy $50 worth of product. It came out great and I got tons of compliments.

Go to Sephora! They have tons of stuff and they are great.

I forgot about Sephora. I think we have one down here.

MAC consultants use WAY too much makeup.

I've had mine done at Clinique before and really liked it.

I actually like my makeup done by MAC but I wear a lot of makeup anyway.

Even at Clinique, beware the overly made up ladies. Find a consultant whose makeup you like and go to them.

I've been going to the same Clinique lady for years. She did my wedding makeup. I didn't buy anything from her that day, but I've bought enough stuff from her in the past. I thought it turned out great, and she is always very responsive to my desire to look natural.

i'd go with clinique or maybe the bobbi brown counter. i've NEVER seen anyone come away from a mac consultation looking like anything but a hooker. the other two will give you a much more natural look.

sephora is too freaking overwhelming for me. but they're usually better with their application.

I'm glad, I'm not the only one that thinks this.

i love going to the laura mercier counter to have makeup done. they usually ask that you spend at least $40 in product, and the results are usually really natural looking.

Go to Sephora. They have many brands to choose from which makes it easier to match your skin tone, type, and cost preference. I did MAC for my wedding and broke out pretty badly. I had done a trial run with no problems, but I still broke out

I think to have your makeup done by MAC you have to buy $50 worth of product. I like having my makeup done buy them and if I don't want heavy makeup I just tell them and they will listen. In my experience they always show you and tell you why they are using certain products or colors.
