| - After receiving a confirmation email that I had made the list to attend the Yelp Elite Event "Dia de Los Muertos" to be held at Barrio Queen, I contemplated on getting a Sugarskull makeover, but where would I go for something like this? I asked a coworker who did body painting and received a quote from her, but there was a question of whether the products she used would be safe for me to try, so I put the thought away. The next day, I remembered that mall department stores offered makeovers all the time, and then I thought of Sephora's makeover stations that I never tried. What a perfect time to do so, I thought, so I made the call. The woman on the phone asked if I had photos of the look I wanted, and I said I'd bring some, and I asked for a time estimate. She said an hour. I made an appointment for 4:30p, but as it turned out, I arrived early and was introduced to Amber, who was to be my custom makeup artist.
Amber was very amiable, conversational, and excited to do something out-of-the-ordinary, which made the whole process of getting a makeover very fun! I have sensitive skin, as well as food and environmental allergies that keep me from using foundation and many products, so I was nervous about the possibility of negative reactions to any of the products we were going to try, but the only problem I encountered was a mild itch on my nose- not enough for me to want to run to the nearest sink and wash off all the products! The whole process took about two hours**, and Amber answered all of my questions throughout. I received many compliments at the Dia de los muertos party I attended, despite the fact that attendees could receive COMPLIMENTARY makeup from an artist present at the party. (I was even approached by a mother with a young girl at the end of the event who wanted photographs taken with me!) At least I knew that I was using quality products designed for surgical patients through Amber and Sephora! (Not to say that the artist there wasn't using quality products, but with party time constraints, I wouldn't have been able to ask her all I needed to know to avoid skin reactions. All that had their makeup done with her looked terrific!)
I would like to schedule more makeovers at Sephora so that I may learn how to achieve certain looks, as well as try out new products, and I will ask for Amber again, or someone she recommends I try.
*Please note that there is a $50 minimum purchase associated with a custom makeover.
**Amber went above and beyond her duties as a Sephora makeup artist when she assisted in applying tattoo decals I had purchased elsewhere, as well as allowed me to pay for products there at the CM station, rather than have me wait to pay at the cashier. I had a terrific time!
