I don't know how many girls have stepped out and gone to Sephora, but if you haven't I highly recommend it!
I went today en male, to get makeup advice and maybe do a little shopping. It was truly a wonderful experience. The staff was very accepting, and incredibly helpful. They set me up with the perfect foundation match, and did a mini makeover on my eyes. Gloria taught me each step of the way as she did my eye shadow, eye liner, eyebrows. When she was done I had my first winged eyes! One of the other girls came over and said "wow, I love the wings on you, they really make your eyes pop!" I floated out of the store when I left.
It was scary and I was incredibly nervous, but am soooo incredibly glad that I overcame my fears and had this experience. There are wonderful experiences to be had, don't let fear stop you, be bold girls!
Maybe not a bad idea for me. Makeup confuses me so far...

Thank you for sharing your experience with Sephora...good for you, I guess being a little bold was worth it.
Great story Tami. I think all of us have been nervous taking that next big and bold step. I've found that when I wanted to do something or buy something but I didn't, I always regretted it. When I had the chance to do it again I didn't pass it up. I guess the next thing would be to go there dressed if you eventually want to be that bold.
It actually would have been easier to go fully dressed lol. But the mall is an en male space at this time per my agreement with my wife.
Walking out of the mall en male with my eyes done was an experience in itself lol. Lets say there were more than a few odd looks and glares lmao!
In your photos you look absolutely beautiful in your dresses. You are not just passable but really pretty. Hopefully you will get the chance to go to Sephora dressed. That would be bold and no doubt fun.
Cool!!!!
Tami, Thanks to much for the description of your visit. Sounds fantastic! I would love to try it myself, I could really use some advise and guidance on my makeup. Do you know if they would do a complete makeover and any idea what something like that would cost? thanks again -susan
Susan,
I'm sure they can do full makeup but don't know what the cost would be. I'd suggest calling them to find out what they can do for you. The explanation they do as they apply makeup is a wonderful learning opportunity.
They also have tools to look at your skin tone and match you with the proper foundation. I had no idea, but the underlying skin tone can be yellow, red, or green based. Having the right foundation makes a huge difference in getting a nice natural look.
Glad to hear you had such a great experience Tami! In the last couple of weeks I've walked by Sephora, trying to get the nerve to walk in and talk to them. I haven't done it yet, but would love to! Matching foundation to my skin tone would be my first question as well.
Go for it Jenn. Think of the positive experience Tami had. You can have a similar one.
Most Sephoras offer beauty classes, usually on Sunday mornings before the store opens. I have taken 5 different classes. I learned so much and made many friends at these classes. I cannot recommend them enough.

While my wife and I were doing Christmas shopping for the kids, I slowed down a bit as we walked past the Sephora in the mall. I'm not quite ready to go in, but maybe soon.

Do you know how much they charge for those? Or, is the info easily found on their website?
Classes at Sephora are free and can be scheduled through the web site.
