eww old lashes with major gunk.... Thanks, I didn't think bringing fresh lashes from home would be a problem. Wouldn't you be able to tell that they are unused since if you take the tweezers and peel them out of the casing, you would have to separate the packaging glue and feel the resistance? I have these cheapie asian brand lashes that my mom buys from supply stores or something. I don't feel too bad about throwing them out after they go to hell because she bought them for so cheap. MAC lashes are not very economical at $13 a pair =/
Hey erine,
I was just wondering about MAs in general. I felt my MA was a little lacking, because she didn't use any eyeshadow base on me, no paintpot, no paint, no shadestick... so my eyeshadow was kinda blowing off and the color faded REALLLY fast. I was a little disapointed when I saw in the mirrors in the change rooms. Casette was intense, but V.I.P. was just barely there. These things don't really occur to me, because I was very comfortable with my MA and I have this "As you please" sort of atitude. Part of applications is to promote products so I was expecting a more complex look.
Is it okay to do applications frequently? I can easily spend $45 per visit, so getting a makeover with every purchase would be really neat. I'm wondering if there is such a thing as over-doing it and asking for too many applications? I would love to go again in a few weeks when I'm ready to drop more money.
I wasn't given a facechart that you mentioned
I am just reflecting on my visit lol
thanks!
you're right, you would be able to tell if someone removed the lashes by the lack of resistance. but, you wouldn't be able to tell if dust got on them, or if something was dropped on them, or if they were just touched with dirty fingers. that's cause for an infection! the old lash cases were taped closed, (if the tape was lifted or removed we wouldn't apply them) ensuring that nothing could get in, but these aren't (and because of that we have no way of knowing what they were exposed to). when they are shipped to us, they are individually wrapped in plastic. that way nothing gets in, but when we sell them, they don't have the plastic. at my counter we take the plastic off when we stock them, making them easier to store in the drawers.
did your artist use tweezers to take the lashes outta the case? if so, they shouldn't have. they should remove them by placing their thumb on the lashes, pushing down and pulling towards them at the same time. grabbing the corner of the lashes and pulling, with tweezers or their fingers, distorts the band, making it loose its shape and look funny after its applied. hopefully yours turned out ok.
unless your artist was going for a softer look with the pink, she shoulda used a base. i always use a base, unless its an annoying girl on a weekday (no charge) thats just wasting my time.
as far as face charts go, it's mac standard to do a face/eye chart with each appt. realistically, you can't in an hour with every appt. you get to talking, explaining, having fun, etc. we (at my counter) really only do it if they ask or if its a bride/prom girl who is in a practice appt and is planning on doing it themselves the day of the event. so, if i were you i'd ask her before she starts if she would make one for you at the end.
if you are serious about learning makeup and buy products when its required, book as many appts as you want. as long as you aren't doing it just to get your makeup done, then you aren't wasting our time, and we have no problems with it.
