Today I traveled from my very Northern California home to San Luis Obispo. On the way, I went through San Francisco. While in SF, I went on a CD pilgrimage; today I went to a MAC Pro store. The manager ended up working with me on beard cover, foundation, bronzer, blush, eyes and lips. Their prices are high, but it is over 6 hours later and it still looks great! Yes, I walked out of the store (in guy mode, no less) with all of the makeup still on. You want to know the great thing about SF? Nobody cared that I was in the store and nobody even batted an eye as I walked down the street with lipstick, blush, bronzer, eyeliner and mascara on. It felt so amazingly good! I was still wearing it all when I checked into my hotel a bit ago. One girl behind the counter didn't even seem to notice, the other couldn't stop looking but didn't comment.

In all, learning application was fun, and getting products matched to my complexion was badly needed. The best part though was being able to walk into the store and tell them that I was TG and needed some help, have them act professional, and then be able to walk down the street and NOBODY CARED THAT I LOOKED LIKE A WOMAN!!!

Rachael, I went to the store on Union Street. That's a nice neighborhood.

I too have been to the Union St. Store for a makeover. It was, as you describe, a great experience.

Sounds like she gave you the very best possible service. Did you remember all those tips and techniques?

Granted, it was SF, but your expereince upon leaving MACca demonstrates again that people either don't notice or don't care.
