I would totally recommend the lovely Mishka at DJs in Adelaide. She has dark hair and a beautiful curvy figure with a rose pattern tattoo on her forearm. She has a site and also a DeviantArt with some of her work.
I popped in the other day and said that I'd seen her stuff online and asked for some help with fluidline and she was really sweet and helpful.

As for Sydney, the ladies at the Parramatta Myer MAC counter are lovely.
Especially Yolanda (she's got fair skin and a reddish-brown bob), another chick whose name escapes me who is very short (like me!), has fair skin and curly/wavy black hair, and the manager there is very helpful too.
I find that the Myer City store is usually full of MAs who won't even look at you because they're so busy. However, I got my makeup done by Sam (she's 21, kinda tanned and has shoulder length blonde hair) for my birthday party in June and she did an AMAZING job! I wanted a deep purple smokey eye and she did an amazing job with beautiful iris and the purple part of Odd Couple! I was so impressed and as a bonus I kept getting compliments alll day.
In the city I find that generally the DJs store is much better because they're usually not as busy and have the time to help you out.

I made my first MAC purchase at Myer Sydney City and if the products hadn't been so amazing I would never have gone back to a MAC counter. The service was terrible and I only bought the products to prove to the uppity SA that I could afford to. I was in Sydney on holiday and I obviously didn't look like her usual clientelle and she spoke to me accordingly.
I don't have a MAC counter at my local Myer but I have since been into the Chermside store in Brisbane and I was really really impressed with the service there. Now if only we could get MAC on the Sunshine Coast I would be happy...

Myer in Sunshine Plaza, Maroochydore don't carry MAC and I haven't heard of being able to get it anywhere else up here. But if anyone knows anywhere I would love to know.
I am not sure about Pacific Fair, it is on the Gold Coast (so many coasts, lol) which is south of Brisbane I am north of Brisbane.

I have ordered off the website and if I have to go to Brisbane ( or invent a reason to go to Brisbane) I call into Myer or DJs. I like to try out the colours but there are sooooo many, it was kind of overwhelming.

It sucks not having a counter close by, doesnt it. Im only about an hour and a half away from a counter but it definitely makes a difference to how much mac I purchase. Ive sent repeated emails to my local myer to that effect however never receive a reply. When I think about how many times I have bought things from Napoleon simply because I want it for that night- I would much prefer to spend a little extra for MAC.
On the flipside I went to a counter for the very first time a few weeks ago and it was like being a kid in a lollyshop!

I like all of the MAs at the Myer MAC in Chermside (Brisbane).
Morgan (I'm pretty sure that that is her name, she is the shortest one) was my MA (and my sister's) for the most recent MAC Tech workshop and she suggested some really great products that I wasn't interested in/didn't know how to use before. Now I love them!
The two older MAs, Jade and ...ummm, the one who curls the end of her hair well...she has a dark brown bob sort of cut...damn! I forgot her name. Oh well, they were both on one day when my sister and I kept coming back and forth to MAC trying to decide about products/remembering that we wanted to look at something else. They were both very helpful and laughing (with us) at the fact that we just kept coming back and were both really excited to hear that we were coming back for the Tech workshop, which got us even more excited. The one whose name I can't remember invited me to the VIP night (I'm pretty sure that was her, I clouded over with excitement when she invited me so I could be wrong).
Then there is the taller of the younger MAs who I had my first MAC experience with, she was very helpful despite the fact that I myself was rushed for time. She has a very pretty name which, even if I could remember it (I remember that it was pretty) I wouldn't be able to spell it.
I think that there might be one other MA, but I haven't met her yet, but if the others are anything to go by, she must be great too!
EDIT: When I use the words older or younger in this post, I use them loosely, to signify a couple of years difference. Not that any of them are OLD in appearance. I hope you know what I mean!

I AGREEE SARAH AT CHAPEL ST IS AMAZING!!!!!! She has a cute English accent. I was soooo lucky to have my make up done by her - it was my first experience with Face and Body foundation and she was so wonderful. She actually listened to what I wanted and how I liked my make up. She was so sweet, I had just found out i had cancer and needed a pick me up and she was so respectful and lovely. I actually sent an email to MAC telling them how impressed I was with her and asked them to pass it on to her and management.
I actually find a lot of the girls at Chapel street a LOT more friendly and helpful then those at Chadstone.
