Salon Treatment

[Miss Mandy]

Hey ladies,

With my wife's approval, I mustered up the courage to get a make-up lesson by a make-up artist at an area beauty salon yesterday. I arrived and was shuttled to a back room past many male and female customers getting pedicures and hair styles. I arrived in drab and the wonderfully pleasant lady took about two hours giving me a lesson. She gave me some especially good tips on eye makeup application. Its funny, but I wore sunglasses out of the salon as she had left cosmetics on one of my eyes for study at home (it was dark outside by that time.) I also walked out with over $ 80 in new pressed powder, blush, eye pencils, and concealer. I am a sucker for makeup! I won't forget the look of some middle aged lady standing near me as I talking about the best foundation color for my skin tone! Priceless!

Who else has had a similar experience in a salon?

P.S. Getting ready for my public unveiling (out of town of course) in less than a week!

Good for you, Jessica! Haven't had a similar experience, but am happy to hear of this for you. You must have been in heaven!

The first time I went into any place with beauty products, it was an Ulta and I was meeting Kathi Lake for a day out, but I was in drab. I got a foundation match and I was quickly convinced that it didn't need to come off. So I went all day with it on while not being dressed up.

I notice on Craigslist there are some makeup artists that will come to you. Always thought it would be fun but haven't tried it yet.

Sounds like so much fun, Jessica! That is something I would dearly love to do soon................

Hi Jessica,

Had a very similar experience going to a Mac counter last month. The makeup artist was so kewl and helpful teaching me as she went about color, application, and of course the difference between day and evening makeup.

I ended up spending about $125 on my bag of goodies!
