Hey all, I made an appointment at mac to check out there new Shop/Cook and Vera collections in the last week of January, and when the Mac artist called to confirm my appointment, she informed me that a makeup artist there would be doing my makeup.
Sooo, I was a bit worried letting someone else work on me because I myself am starting out as a makeup "artist" and my experiences have made me realize how unsanitary, messy, and heavy handed others can be! But against my better judgement, I figured "what the hey, I have a birthday party to go to right after this appointment and now I won't have to do my own makeup!" So I get to Mac today, and after being worked on for exactly an hour, this is what I was left looking like (and in case you're wondering: that blotch on my cheek isn't from a makeup mistake on her part, that is a current pimple the size of a planet).
For reference, this is a picture I took yesterday to capture that annoying pimple in the hopes that I will someday look back and laugh at it, which shows what I normally look like:
My friend went with me because I had scheduled her as well, and her makeup looked amazing. But all I could think when I saw mine was "Wow, I went from Suki to Snooki!"
I didn't bother complaining because I didn't want to be stuck there for another hour. Instead I went home, washed my face, and in a rush, I did a very quick look with the exact same products and took a very awkward photograph to share with ya'll, in case you're curious.
Anyone else ever have a bad experience with a makeup artist? How did you fix it?

Don't be afraid to ask how long they have been with MAC. I have been freelancing 7 years now and I have customers that request me for events and especially Halloween because they know I will be working them. If you find one you like don't be afraid to specifically ask if they will be there. I am so sorry to hear that you had a horrible makeover!
