i thought i could do my own makeup for prom. but since experimenting, i realize i look like a clown in my own hands. so i decided i should find professional help, but its seems to late to make an appointment now and i dont know where to go for a makeover. can i just make a last minute appearance at any makeup counter in town and request for a makeover?Can i approach makeup counters for prom makeup without making an appointment?
Go to the MAC store or Macy's (they have a MAC counter). The girls charge $40 and it's worth it. MAC products are wonderful and they last long and PROM is the one time you want to look flawless. I know that if you go to the MAC counter without making an appointment, they will put make up on you if they know they are going to make a ';good'; sale, especially at this time of year. You can also try Sephora. And if all else fails, you should ask an adult that you think does good make up on themselves. Or take your time..lay out all your make up that you want to use and start slowly. The lighter the touch the better the outcome. Good Luck and Have fun on PROM.Can i approach makeup counters for prom makeup without making an appointment?
Go to the Body Shop - they do free make overs and their stuff is really nice. You may want to buy something small though for their trouble (like the lip gloss they put on you b/c you will need to re-apply it later anyway).
umm call 2 days in advanced or go to a mall, they will always feel happy to do it!!! hope i helped :)
gobble gobble
happy thanksgiving!!!!!!!!!!
try mac!!!!!!!!!
they refuse say you will give a big tip!
u should just be able to go to the mall and hit up a counter and ask questions for help and adivice. most women would love to help. i'm sure some would love to smug u off but ignore them. they'd probably make u look like u came out the 80's anyway.... since ur doing prom keep it light and neutral

I have gotten a few things (including pigments)! I usually strike up convo about what new products they have (so study up), talk about which products I have, and then (this is where the free samples comes in) which ones I am looking to add to my collection.
I have gotten free samples 2 times without buying anything, but I do try to buy something from my local Mac store!MAC makeup counters!?

Makeup counters at macy's?
Ok so how much would it cost to get makeup applyed by one of the ppl at the makeup counters at macy's?
I heard it's free and i also heard you have to buy $50+ worth of makeup...so if I go to m.a.c and just buy the prep+prime could I get my face done?Makeup counters at macy's?
I went to Macy's before my high school graduation and the women did it for free. I didn't have to buy any makeup after either. I guess it depends where you live though. Makeup counters at macy's?
WELL I GO ALL THE TIME FOR MAC APPLY.
IT MAY BE FREE;; DEPENDS ON WHERE YOU LIVE;, OR IF THERES SOME COME OF SPECIAL.
BUT USUALLY IT DEPENDS WUT U GET.. I GET A FULL FACE AND I PAY $35
...
AND I HAVE MOST OF THEIR MAKEUP SHADOWS..
BUT.. GO AHEAD TO A MACYS AND CHECK IT OUT
Usually Clinique and stuff will do it for free if its not for an event, but it is for an event you have to buy a certain amount of products.
Victoria's secret also does it but they may not do it in ur area. I live in NYC.
Call and ask...I don't get why people put questions like this on here, it's so simple for you to find out by calling.

Macy's makeup counters?
Do they do free make up or do you have to pay for it?Like just to get a consultation or whatever.Macy's makeup counters?
iis free !!Macy's makeup counters?
you never have to buy makeup for a consultation, however its considered polite to purchase at least one item that they used on you during your consultation. but you dont have to. i always say that im coming back later to get something.

How long does MAC makeup 'last' when you get it done at the Macy*s counter?
I have a wedding that starts at 3 p.m. but am getting my makeup at the Macy*s counter done at 12 p.m [After that I'm getting my hair done, then going straight to the wedding]. The wedding will probably last until 3 a.m. Basically, I need my makeup to last 15 hours! Will my makeup stay put for that long? I'm choosing MAC because I think it'll stay on the longest, will it?!
Also, how long does it take? I'm doing the whole 'flawless skin, smokey eye/doe eye with false lashes, nude lips' look. How long will that take?How long does MAC makeup 'last' when you get it done at the Macy*s counter?
MAC is good makeup ....I am not a fan of their foundations ...but love their eye products. I am not sure any makeup will stand up for 15 hours without at least some touch up ....powder, lips ..etc., I would suggest you tell them at the counter how long you need this to last and maybe they can offer some samples of things or apply a little bit heaveir product .....but I would take some things in a bag for touch ups for that length of time ..... I have heard that MAC has heavy foundations and causes alot of people breakouts but it is suppose to be great stage makeup and great for photographs ..If I were you talk to the ladies at the MAC counter ...they will know what you will need touched up ....
Hope this was helpful ~~~
Good Luck ~~~How long does MAC makeup 'last' when you get it done at the Macy*s counter?
Thank you for your input. I didn't end up going to MAC...Lancome instead. But I did specify that I needed my makeup to last a while [turns out I totally miscalculated the hours I'd be needing it to stay on]...and they put a special foundation on me. I looked fab. the entire night! Report Abuse
i love mac, but its all i use. darker colors stay on longer OR you can ask them to use a primer which will help it stay SUPER long.. also buy some things to touch up with. thats what i do... you will have to touch up all makeup no matter what the brand. at least powder and lipstick, maybe a touch of eye shadow
ah to be honest , it just depends on whos doing your makeup.......some of em put layers of makeup on and others put a slim amount on, im guessing if you want it to last fifteen hours, youre gonna want someone who aint skimpy with the makeup...................maybe keep a powder er somethin in your bag for touchups
Make sure they put on foundation primer and eyeshadow primer before applying the real makeup. The primers help to keep your makeup last longer.
Nars is better than Mac. I'm not saying Mac sucks, I love Mac. But, Nars is better!!
Its not smart to get your makeup done before your hair.

Makeup ? I'm getting headshots. Is it cheaper 2 get makeup at the mall w/ help from counter lady or walgreens?
I'm a guy and I have bags and stuff under my eyes and i know my friend can photoshop them out, but he says i should get makeup b/c it'll be easier. I also looked at my first headshots from years ago and i just saw micro pimples on my forehead (which isn't good looking back on it) I haven't a clue about makeup (i'm a guy) but i know i want that powdery look. Suggestions? what's that jessica alba commercial where you can mix your own color? or is there a place where i can get tv makeup powder like the news people use i've seen some of the guys with that and it looks good. very 80s rock band like.
all help (not just one sentence pleassssee) greatly appreciated!!!!
oh and what will the counterlady do? i know they might help give you a makeup for free but i gotta get several takes in different days I can't just go back to them and do it over and over for free without buying. so if this is better than say walgreens then how much am i gonna pay??? roughly? $10 $5? ....Makeup ?

If you can't find this palette stuff and if you don't know how to apply the stuff, then go to lancome or Bobby Mac or Este Lauder and tell them you want some ideas on makeup. Watch them carefully, as they will give you a complete makeover. Tell them about your problem with the dark circles or bags, ask them what they have for this. As they put each item on your face, ask them what it is and what color it is and how much it is. After they have started, tell them what you are doing, tell them about the ';head shots';, they will be excited to be a part of this. Just buy one or two things. Have them make a list of what they used... sometimes they keep a chart of what they put on you for future reference. Tell them you will be back tomorrow. It really is worth it to buy good makeup, not the stuff from Walgreens. Your makeup will make a big difference and the Walgreen's lady can not help you as much as the counter person at the department store. Good make up in your business is important. Start now to invest in it. You are worth it. If you go back to them for 2 or 3 days in a row, you will be better prepared to do your own makeup... tell the girl this is your goal. Makeup ? I'm getting headshots. Is it cheaper 2 get makeup at the mall w/ help from counter lady or walgreens?
i say get it professionally done. you'll look and feel better. you'll now how to do it on those different days. Sure you might feel weird sitting there getting made over, but who cares? Buy, or figure out what she used, and see if you cant get it at Walgreens, target, walmart, etc. If you can't find it, go back and get it. Sure it'll be a little more expensive, but would you rather look cheap or professional? The less photoshop the better honey. :) Hope this helped some.
if your trying to go to a department store like jc pennys or anything of that sort your going to be paying ALOT more then 5-10 dollars. ur ranging anywhere from 20 and up foir the good stuff.
what the counter lady will do is help you find something close to ur skin tone and show u some ideas and do urmake up for u but like u said itll only last u the day.
so my advice to save you time and money
go to the department store and see what the lady says bout ur skin tone like what would be better like mouse cover up or powder or lquid. and then ask her to show you how to put it on and what ';color'; matches ur skin tone best
and then go to walgreens or something and then pick out the color she reccomended amd youll already know how to apply it
