The first experience was for the release of the Barbie collection by MAC. I liked the products, the lady was nice and funny, but this is where i learned applying makeup on yourself and on someone else is a totally different experience. She had little to zero experience, that was obvious. Shaky eyeliner (shouldn't have asked for more), powdery face, and melted makeup under a few hours, the worst was i had to visit a friend and use her bathroom to realise the disaster. I asked for the green&pink eye look, i still do it, but without the fuschia lips, that is clearly too much for face, despite my liking for dramatic makeup.
The other was at a makeup school in Paris, i learned by hazard the school welcomed any person coming at their door on friday afternoons, to be used as models by their students. For students halfway in their year, i thought the level of knowledge was incredibly high, and professional. My makeup artist to be first did a look she had to do to validate that specific course (special effects), so she turned my face into a dead woman's face, with false ice on my eyes (very funny !), then after washing everything off my face, she did a night look. It was fantastic, i just wished i paid more attention to my eyes, she used a combination of dark green, brown and red and the result was stunning. It didn't last long though, she didn't use primers.
