Do you mind me asking what counter you work at? You can PM if you want.
I'd love to come to your counter sometime and set up a m/u appointment with you! Of course you know I'd buy tons of stuff!

Granted you are beautiful and your makeup is amazing, but the reason why I am commenting is this:

"Natural Light . . . Yea, it was/is cloudy and raining :-/"
This so reminds me of something I read for a verbal behavior course. We were discussing linguistics and I read a passage in which a female sharecropper said, "I be tired." The author corrected them and said, "You can't 'be' tired. You can say either, 'I was tired', 'I am tired', or 'I will be tired'." The woman said, "but that's just it - I was tired, I am tired, I will always be tired - I BE TIRED."
I just thought that it was cool that you were looking for a way to say that it was and still is raining.
Thanks for indulging my ramblings!

Not at all, I'd love to do your makeup! I work at Macy's Union Square - downtown. Right now I'm at our 4th floor trend counter, though I may be moving back downstairs. The number is 415-296-4023 if you ever want to book an appointment.

In fact, we'll be having an event and possibly a seminar for Culturebloom. If you want, you can PM me your name and number and I can give you a call when we have more details about the dates. My real name is Risa

Amazing as usual.

I just want to say that i am not a fan of heavy makeup on myself and would never wear makeup the way you do and couldn't carry it off in the first place but i totally love your looks and appreciate the artistry, talent and fun aspect of them so much and think they're absolutely gorgeous and you shouldn't change anything no matter what people think/say to you. You are so talented. (hope you know where my post is coming from, don't want to say here)

 

[star1692]

Risa,

I would almost fly out there just to get you to do my make up for me. I'm just stunned everytime I see how beautiful and talented you are. Thing there is anyway you could make me 1/10th as pretty?...haha doubt it. I know If I went to my MAC counter I'd just be disappointed! sniffles

That MUA post, right? lol Yea I thought it was amusing actually. Because the thing is, there's many styles of makeup that I personally don't like, but the difference is, I can appreciate the application/technique and talent (or lack there of) behind it. I am totally a fan of well done, dramatic and avante garde looks. As well as beauty makeup. And I'm well aware that a lot of people think my makeup is "too much". And that's fine. But as I said in that post, what they fail to understand is that I work for a flagship MAC location, downtown in a major city. I am required, as in, I don't have a choice but, to wear intense makeup. Not to say that I don't like it, because I do. It's fun to me. But if I were to go to work wearing minimal makeup, I'd be told to put more on and make it more intense. The only way I could get away with wearing vanilla, soft brown and mascara on my eyes would be to have Rebel or something on my lips. At least one feature MUST be dramatic. And we're supposed to wear lashes . . . which I rarely do. . .something I've been meaning to change.

I really meant it when I said that girl, whoever she is, has absolutely no place criticizing anyone's makeup. Not liking the colors, or boldness, that's fine. But looking at her pictures, she really needs to worry about her own application before she goes off on me or anyone for that matter. And the funny thing is, I never even got to see the original post before it was deleted. I only read the responses and gathered what I did.

Thank you though
