It looks like a slutty sea monster was making out with your eyeballs. I think you might want to go with something more subtle. Also the blue and green don't mix very wellDON'TJUDGEMEI'MJUSTMAKINGOBSERVATIONS!

Sephora ladies are so awesome there!
When I walk into Sephora with a friend or even alone, they look as if we've came to steal. They have suspicious looks and if the store is bigger some ladies even follow clients around to be sure they don't fill their pockets with anything. I hate that store so much, makes me feel unwelcome every time.

This is better than the time I almost got into a huge argument with the MAC lady over what shades actually go with my skin tone. Coral pink does NOT work with pale and sallow skin, I know because I've tried it on my own damn face! ALSO DO NOT PUT BLUE EYESHADOW ON ME I HAVE GREEN EYES AND YOU ARE MAKING ME LOOK LIKE A PROSTITUTE.

(also from PA) i have like the worst skin so those poor ladies get nervous when i walk in. Also I think they'd come out with a scrapper and a putty knife so it maybe a mutual fear.

You're lucky to even have a Sephora! Apparently they have this really good skin stuff that my doctor says I need but there aren't any here in UT. ;_; But yeah, my neighbor sells that "Mary Kay" stuff and my mom wanted my sister and I to get a makeover but it turns out we spent $300 on stuff I'm allergic to.

taffygiraffe [2009-09-04 06:55:19 +0000 UTC]

OH NOES blech I'm sorry that happened!
Heehee I work at a Sephora, but I'm such a minimalist when it comes to putting the stuff on. Only what you need, I say!(in my case, mostly concealer ) I'm sorry you had such a funky experience! I definitely feel weird when people put bright crazy colors on me too. It's fun for special occasions like parties and whatnot, but it's definitely not something I would want to wear everyday to go see friends and acquaintances.

ALSO now that I've discovered your lovely little gallery here, I think I shall subscribe to it. :3

Sephora kind of scares me and this is why.

Well, this and I'm always vaguely afraid that they'll see my Wal-Mart blue jeans and kick me out of the store.

SilverSkittle [2009-08-27 19:18:24 +0000 UTC]

They probably load it all on because if people like it, that means they'll have to buy a lot of make-up in order to do it xD

The people at MAC and Sephora are not trained--they just enjoy playing with makeup, and that's why they're hired. The best thing you can do to learn about makeup, is just to do it. Same as with art, really, the more you use it, the better you know how fast the product dries, or how it spreads, or how far you can push it, etc. Then you can do anything!

That's so funny! I love the makeup girl's enthusiasm. I've never had the courage to go up and do a makeup consultation... always been scared they'd either make me look like Amy Winehouse, or take one look at me and say, "sorry lady, but there's nothing I can do to help..."

I love Sephora, but I don't let anyone 'consult' me with makeup. I was in Philly with my ex-boyfriend about two winters ago, playing with the bright eyeshadows, and I overheard a woman asking an employee about makeup advice. My ex liked makeup himself (musician/performer, guess it came with the territory) so it wasn't surprising when the employee actually directed the woman in our direction. Ironically, the woman's question was quite simple. Just wanted to know which eyeliner would look better on her, brown or coal black. Random.

Personally, I love the extreme amounts of green eyeshadow shown here, but I'm also a nutter for green and love ridiculous eyeshadow application. XD

karenohemgee In reply to basalt [2009-08-27 15:43:12 +0000 UTC]

The sad part about some consultants in makeup shops is they think the one style, usually quite outrageous, works for everyone, regardless of the time of day. The phrase "No one wears that color in the morning!" comes to mind. XD

hahamy mom works in Mary Kay OTL;
she's also a teacher and painter though, and she, luckily, doesn't go around like that ahaha

I never use makeup myself, and my mom hardly puts on any, she really just does it because of the social aspect I think- she's made a lot of friends that way, not to mention it helps make extra cash haha.

but yeah this is funny, cause some people that I've met that also do Mary Kay are like that, and it annoys the hell out of me.
