Perhaps you have never had a MAC Make Over before or not ever had anyone test products on you. Is all you have ever done at the MAC counter was test stuff on your hand and purchase? Are you wondering if you have to make a phone consultation or if you can just walk in? Wondering what to expect?


Go for you consultation with no or very little make up on. The girls at the counter are very nice and you have nothing to worry about. It is best to make an appointment, although you can do it as a walk up, but you may need to wait for awhile. You need to check to see if there is a purchase policy- sometimes you will be required to purchase something. Tell them it is your first time getting your makeup done, especially if you are asking a lot of questions so they don’t think you are being a pain in the butt!


If you go in with makeup, you will need to remove it. Most makeup artists start with the eyes. They will ask what you want, like if you want neutral, smoky, or a particular color. Then the MAC foundation- how sheer or opaque, then the best color will be applied.


The artist should tell you what they are doing during each step so that you can follow along and replicate the results at home. You can ask for an eye or face chart to make it easier to do it for yourself. Please be sure to ask questions if you have them. If you don’t like something, say so and the MAC makeup artist should change it for you. They should customize the makeup job to be exactly what you want and you should walk away from the experience happy.


Many times the Makeup artist will stay on the safe side so if you want a more wild look, speak up. MAC Cosmetics has a wide range of bold eye shadow and lipstick shades- take advantage of them. You can learn about eye shadow placement for your eye shape, blush application and the foundation that is right for you. Make sure that you walk out of your MAC consultation looking like a million dollars- you are worth it!
