I'm going to Sephora Monday for a makeup session. I'm a teacher and I don't wearing makeup during summer. It's back to school time and I want some fresh makeup and advice.
Has anyone ever done a makeup session at Sephora? I talked with a lady there when I booked my appointment and told her I want it to be an instructional time and want to try our some new product for a new look.
I want eyebrow and eye makeup advice primarily but I also am in need of foundation/concealer advice too. She said they can help with all of that.
Just wondering if the peas have any experience and advice too? Thanks!

I have never done it, but I'm really interested to see how you like it. I can see doing something like this for myself on a free day. It sounds like fun.

I have had them help to color match me. My advice would be to get samples first before buying. Any shade of foundation they chose for me I wound up not liking...way too dark or way too light.
Have fun!

They should give you samples and anything you buy that doesn't work, you can return.

Thanks ladies for the tips. I hasn't thought about the samples idea. Definitely going to do that.

I have them do my makeup a few times a month for events. My girl is fantastic and they do it for free with a $50 purchase. The others all seem to be good about answering questions and whatnot too...don't be afraid to ask!

My friend took her young teenage daughter to do that, basically to teach her how to apply makeup. There was some good advice, although the gal was not terribly talkative, and she did do a pretty, teenage-appropriate look. They did not give her any free samples. I keep thinking I need to do this, too. The last few times I had my makeup done at Clinique I wasn't happy with the foundation match.

I was in Sephora once when they were doing a demo on a fresh "dewy" look. I didn't participate because that isn't so much what I wanted, but watched and then asked a question about foundation for myself. The girl was very helpful and it expanded into much more, with her showing me how to apply it better and then we went into eye makeup too. I did spend a good bit of money that day and still use most of the products and brands she recommended for me.

I did that a couple of months ago when the Sephora opened in my mall's JCP. I went in for ONE thing and it wasn't even make-up related. I was looking around at the products and a woman asked if I needed any help. Turns out I needed more help than I thought.  She was wonderful and I found a foundation I really like. Have fun! And if she doesn't ask you if you'd like samples, don't be afraid to ask for some. I got some samples of different skin-care products.

I had one the other day. It was fun! We tried a ton of different products and I told her exactly how I like to do makeup, easy and under 5 mins, and we selected a few products for me based on that. We tested each product and she gave me tips. Don't be afraid to say you don't like something. She also gave me a bunch of samples of things to try a home too.
