i asked about if they had any Cremesheen Glasses left(i know they are discontinued but sometimes they have some left), she was like what? i was like lipgloss. so she went looking and she was like i dont think we have that color. i was like its a line, the color i wanted was Fashion Scoop. she was like are they like seasonal...in my head im thinking you tell me...although i KNOW it is but come on. so i said yes but i checked the other store and they had some left but not the colors i wanted so...(i specifically asked if they had any 'left' in my first question, should have been a hint to her?). i was thinking have you been working there for one day cuz seriously why should i know more that you! finally some other girl knew what i was talking about(i had to repeat myself again) and found one for me but it wasnt the color i wanted. i thanked her.
unfortunately she helped my sister too. she did her brows with eyeshadow and my sister was wondering why it went on so unusually strong. was it the eyeshadow, angled brush, or Fix +. the lady was like its definitely the Fix +, obviously trying to sell that. it was hilarious because when she sprayed the Fix + on my sister's face/brows...even i could clearly see that none of it actually landed on her face, mostly on her hair! omg when we left i was asked did any of it actually make it to your brows? she was like NO! we concluded that maybe that lady was heavy handed which is why the brows came on super strong and decided not to buy the eyeshadow.
speaking of heavy handed. good grief, i always have to wipe off my face before walking around again. its atrocious how much they pack on. as if a fine dusting of whatever makeup wouldnt show me the product is good. surely caked on will not sell me. luckily ive played around with MAC enough to know that you dont automatically look caked on, its all about being light handed because their products are pretty concentrated so a little goes a long way(which is why i like their stuff because less is more but still effective). putting on makeup heavily distorts the colors, when you put on such a thick layer that you cant even see who you are underneath it anymore. it can either look way darker or way lighter depending on the undertones/finish like Shimmer.
the other makeup artist was confused about textures/performances(regarding undereyes/blemishes etc) of Studio Finish and Studio Sculpt, she kept saying contradicting things. depending which one she was trying to sell me she amped up one while putting down another. then tried to sell me Select Cover-Up...i was thinking just stop! she isnt even helpful because she didnt seem to know what she was talking about. very wishy washy.
basically if they dont know what they are doing and arent informed of their most basic products then they should either learn or just stand back and let the customer do their shopping instead of trying to tell me ooo try this and that. they can help but they need to bite their tongue more often because when they speak too much they reveal how little they know and how unsure of themselves they are. im polite but im my head im thinking no honey i know what i want and youre just sidetracking me! if you dont have it then dont try to sell me something else that clearly would not suffice.
last gripe. i just hate trying on makeup on in general because the thought of their dirty makeup brushes combined with Fix + on my face! its bad enough they have to use the same brushes on all customers but the Fix + moisture make sure all the left over grime gets on you as well. *shivers* but i hate buying makeup blind.
edit : also the moisture from the makeup remover. they wanna put makeup over that quickly and im like wait! *fans my face*, at least let it dry or give me a tissue. the moisture would not work well with the products being put on...they dont seem to be concerned about something so basic.
