Need Your Makeup Done But Don't Want to Pay Big Money?

Need Your Makeup Done But Don't Want to Pay Big Money?

At the beauty shop with a friend recently, I noticed that for the extremely high price of $45, I could get my make up done. Since the service offered was for a regular makeup job, and not permanent makeup tattooed on my face (which is fricking weird if you ask me), I opted out. Unless you’re going to be in a wedding or you’re independently wealthy, why pay that much for make up that will last at a maximum of four hours?

 

For those needing a makeover on the day of an important event, I have a much better idea than either doing it yourself or paying big bucks for something that will last you only one day: go to the mall, choose your favorite makeup counter (or the one offering freebies—usually Clinique), get a makeover, and buy just enough make up to get the free samples or make up bag.

 

Seriously. The beauty expert at the mall knows how to make people look beautiful. While she might not do a full job and will definitely try to sell you a few things you don’t need, you are (almost 100%) guaranteed to look better when you walk out of the mall than when you walked in. Plus, if you buy one or two of the products that she used, you’ll have nice make up to use for the next special occasion. It’s a win-win situation for both you and the person making you over.

 

Doesn’t sound as fun as sitting in a nail salon inhaling fumes? Bring along a friend who’s going to the same event and have them make her up as well.

 

I should warn you that the make up experts are onto the people who won’t buy their products and are just in for a free makeover; that’s why I like to buy at least something. Plus, every time I get my makeup done by a professional, it looks twenty times better than when I do it myself and I learn some of their beauty secrets and tricks of the trade.

As an added bonus, if you’re going to a party, this takes away the advantage from the chicas who are already adept at putting on their makeup and gives you a solid edge in the beauty department.

 

I’m not really that much of a girly-girl, but if I’m getting dressed up for a special occasion, it’s nice to have perfect make up to match the perfect shoes and dress. This is a much cheaper way to get it done.
