For the wallet, I absolutely understand going to the drugstore to get products. But if one, like the OP, isn't used to wearing makeup, doesn't trust it, and hates the feeling of it, going to an upscale store where makeup is applied for free is invaluable. The act of going back and forth can be very discouraging. Not having a track record with makeup and faced with a plethora of choices can be daunting. Take your Mom with you if you don't trust your ability to say , "I only want.............Thank you very much." Practice saying No. I can tell you that St Laurent is very colorful for most people. My daughters hate MAC. Kiehl's, Bobbie Brown (who has a book on makeup application for teens), Laura Mercier, and Chanel seem to be favored BUT you have to like what they show you. Natural is your mantra. If the lipglass doesn't feel good on your hand, it will feel thick on your lips. And go to the cosmetics counters at a slow time, Monday mornings are pretty slow. If you choose to go to the drugstore, go at a quiet time so you don't feel pushed into making a decision.
And if you're not sure that you love what was applied tell them that you have to walk around for awhile to see if you're allergic to the product. And even if they put on eye shadow, eye base, and lip base..........whatever...you don't have to get it.
