hen was the last time you went to a cosmetic counter within a specialty store (like Sephora) or department store (from Saks or Macy’s) to seek expert advice from the beauty advisor? Was your intention to create a “new you”, a total updated, cosmetic look, or just to window shop and see if a particular new shade of lipstick caught your eye?
Douglas J Aveda Day Spa is a great place for a makeover!!
Great tips!!! Now, I will know all the Do's when shopping for cosmetics,etc. Being comfortable is what counts. The advise about NOT buying every product at once is one that MOST consultants should abide by when working with clients. Thanks a million!!
Thanks you so much for the much needed tips!!
Now that was worth reading! I feel like I am ready to take on those "make up counters" now! Good article.
very informative!
Thanks for the tips!
I am very much into makeup and cosmetics in general. The makeup artist at the counters and stores I frequent regularly know me by name. As a result they don';t try to push products on me. They know I know what I want and like and will spend money of I have to, but if I'm broke or don't need it I keep my cash. In fact they treat me as an equal and have given me great tips about hard to find items.
These are great tips! I hate going to the makeup counter for a new shade of foundation but coming out with bags full of items I didn't even want.
Wow, great tips in this article. Thanks so much! I've always been a little intimidated by the counter women, but not anymore.
Thank you for this advice. Although definatly NOT a professional I enjoy doing makeup on myself and for others. It is something that I have been pretty good at since before I even hit my teen years. I really enjoy how this article says that you should consider your trip to the makeup counter a "lesson". Even though I have had much practice I can always learn more. One thing that I have learned from this is to make sure that I start off slow in purchasing only a few items at a time. i tend to buy everything I can and then get home and realize that I have no idea what brush is for what. Thanks again for these helpful tips....I will keep them in mind!
Thanks for the tips, I have asthma and try to stay away from cosmetic counters but your tips really help. Pricilla
Great strategy!
I like the natural look. I appreciate this article as it is informative!
I agree! Thank you for this informative article. Women spend way too much on makeup and facial treatments. It is best to just get a couple of needed items and to love yourself for your natural beauty.
Wow, what great advice that will be so helpful to me when I shop for my cosmetics.
