Gammazetagrl, you know what, I'm always frustrated when I get a makeover done, b/c usually the MA puts too much unnatural makeup on my eyes! I'm also an Asian, and though I have double-lidded eyes and creases (as opposed to typical single lids for Asians), my creases (and eyes) are not as big as the typical Caucasian's. The MA forgets that, it seems, and totally overdos the eye makeup, causing me to look like some hooker! LOL.
Anyhow, I did have one successful makeover done a few months ago, for a college interview (which went very well, I'm glad to say!
). It was at MAC. God, I love that line. So practical, no-nonsense, sleek...
The MA applied these things on me, and I was so happy with the products that I bought them:
1) Sheer Studio Finish Matte Foundation in NC35
2) Matte Blush in Prism (love the color - pinkish brown, the perfect color)
3) Pro Lash in Coal (best mascara I've ever tried- and I've tried too many to count!)
4) Eyeshadow in Malt (perfect nude color as a base for the eyes...doesn't look like makeup at all)
5) Lipstick in Taupe (great color, can be toned down for day, turned up a notch for night)
I do have a favorite that's non-MAC though, haha. I do love Benefit's Eggplant Mascara. Though it doesn't give as much an eye-opening look as does the MAC Pro Lash, it's a beautiful color which brings out the golden flecks in my brown eyes. It's also super-conditioning and smells wonderful (rosewater).
ladyj - hey there! I haven't talked to you in a while...how are you? Anyhow, I know what you mean about Sephora, too! God, I could live there
