What to Expect at the Makeup Counter.

The cosmetic department is a fun place to be. It’s a playground of beautiful products to play with and try on. The Makeup Counter for some can be a bit overwhelming so, as requested, here’s a post on what to expect when you visit the makeup counter

Research

I recommend starting by doing your research first. There are so many different makeup lines and you want to choose a line that fits your lifestyle and that’s age appropriate. If you have a specific look in mind, bring some photos.  If you want to go over the products that you own to see if they are still current, bring in your makeup bag and let the beauty expert go over what you should keep, what you should get rid of and what you might want to add. That way you don’t have to figure it all out on your own when you get home.

Appointments

If you have an event it helps to make an appointment. That way the counter will set aside a half hour to forty- five minutes to spend time with just you and you won’t have to wait between customers. Just call the counter ahead of time to let them know what you want to get done. The more specific you are, the more smoothly the appointment will go. Don’t be afraid to ask questions as this helps with the consultation. If it is last minute don’t worry, walk-ins are welcome.

Consultations

No need to fuss with putting on any skincare or makeup since your beauty expert will do all the work. Just sit and relax. Come to the counter with an open mind, beauty experts are trained to translate the latest trends into everyday wearable looks. You might find some new products you would have never picked out yourself that really work for you. If there is something that you don’t like, let us know so that we can fix it. I promise it won’t hurt our feelings since we want you to feel confident and beautiful in your makeup. Have the beauty expert make you a face chart so you have directions on how to do your makeup when you get home. Sometimes you might get home and realize you really need the brush to go with the eye shadow and the chart will have the details of what was used.

Touchups

Just want a little mid-day touchup? No problem. Makeup artists are typically itching to do somebody’s makeup and would much rather be doing makeup than standing there. Of course we hope you find something you like but if you don’t, don’t feel guilty about not buying anything. We will send you off with some samples and hope you will want to come back. Your beauty expert will do demos of products that will only work for you and your skin type.

Come in! It can be exciting to have your makeup done by a pro and come out with a fresh, new look. It’s like getting a new hairstyle, it can be invigorating.
