Is there a makeup technique you'd like to master?

Is there a makeup technique you'd like to master?

I’d love to be able to apply false eyelashes without it being an ordeal, but they often cause my upper lash line/waterline to act up, water, or just get really red/irritated. But I’d love to at least have it be an option for extra special/dramatic looks or occasions!

Would you accept a job if they wouldn’t let you wear makeup?

Would you accept a job if they wouldn’t let you wear makeup?

If it was the only job I was able to get at the time, yes, absolutely. Would I continue to submit resumes and look for another place? Sure, since makeup has been such a huge part of my life for so long now, it would be odd to not be allowed to wear even a little bit! If the job where I wasn’t...

Are there any places you won’t wear makeup?

I prefer not to wear makeup if I’m going to be outside for a prolonged period of time (hiking, going to the zoo, beach, etc.) or a place where there’s a lot of water and I’ll get wet from it (pool, beach).

What beauty brand or retailer has provided the worst customer service?

What beauty brand or retailer has provided the worst customer service?

Ulta’s reps are patient on the phone, but their solutions are just dismal – if a product is broken, I have to send it back before getting a refund (no other retailer/brand has made me do this). Neiman Marcus overnighted a Louboutin polish trio ($90 or something like that) after my order arrived...

What beauty brand or retailer has provided the best customer service?

I’ve had exceptional service with Nordstrom and Neiman Marcus (where they’ve replaced luxury beauty products that arrived broken without a fuss). Beautylish is also the best for actually packaging products so they won’t break on you, and they’ll also upgrade shipping to overnight/two-day...
