I was really excited about this laura mercier event at nordstrom this weekend. I got an appt weeks in advance and it totally pissed me off.
Ok i got there and the MA asked me what products im using and what kind of look i was looking for today. I said ive been using lm's oil free foundation and i told her what e/s from this line i own. I told her that the foundation has been making my face a little irritated so we should try something different, and i want a "going out" look because i was going out tonite. I also told her i wanted eyes that "pop" something dramatic but not too much and not scary.
So this is what she did
She used a moisturizing foundation which cointained oil which im allergic to and i told her in advance. I didnt know it had oil. 2-3 hours later, my face started having rashes that i had to rush home to wash, and re do my make up over. It was like an oil slick also. such b ad reaction.
Next step, she did my eyes which she only put on one coat of a pink cream eyeshadow, no base, no powder eyeshadow to set, no dark color to "pop". I thought she was putting the pink on as a base. Then she drew my eyebrows which looked totally hideous. She lined my eyes which she did a good job, but she used a pencil so that did not last. It smudged after 2-3 hours. She only put on one coat of mascara on my top lashes, none on the bottom, and she didn't even curl my eyelashes.
I was so pale, and i told her i wanted to look tan, and she dusted lightly a pale pink blush on me which i did not like because i said i like a sun tanned look.
For my lips, she did not even line them to make them look more pouty. She only put on a light coat of lipgloss. Ok the look was natural, which was ok, but not what i wanted, and it wasnt anything spectacular or difficult to do. It was a look that any person can pull off. It was so easy to do that anyone couldve done it. I wanted a look of a make up artist. i was soo disapointed. I did not learn anything new or got a new look.
On top of that, she was pushing me to buy the products. She was so pushy, worse than a sales girl. I was just so irritated that i bought some brushes to get her off my back, and i did not even say anything about my make up because i wanted to get out of there so fast.
She told me she's a national make up artist for LM, and i think its a lie. I thought these national ma's are totally talented and they are great at suggestions and they know exactly what they are doing. I didnt question her because i thought she knew what she was doing.
this was the worst experience ever.
Thanks guys for reading this.
