Which beauty counter makeover should I book for my DD as a treat?

[bigTillyMint]

DD turns 18 soon and I thought we could go for beauty makeovers together. I have been to Laura Mercier a few times and they are always great but where would be good (and affordable!) for DD?
She doesnt wear a huge amount of makeup during the day, but does for clubbing/parties, etc.

Charlotte Tillbury or Bobbi Brown definitely!

Not benefit.

I'd also avoid Mac. Bobbi brown would be my choice

I would say urban decay or Mac would be more affordable out of the high end beauty counters. I prefer the makeovers at urban decay over Mac though.

Thanks! I was wondering about Bobbi Brown.

Charlotte Tillbury will be expensive if you want to buy any products after.

I'm 19 and personally, I'd love it at either a MAC, Urban Decay or a Bobbie Brown counter

I would definitely stay away from Benefit (speaking from personal experience and other posters experience).

I hope you both enjoy, I'm very jealous

DD 19 is a Mac fan also. Not the cheapest, but she likes it :)

I wonder if I depends where you go given a previous comment, but I I've always had really positive experiences at Mac. I was bought a make up lesson there once years ago & now always go back if I want my make up done for a special occasion.

Worst I ever had was Benefit. Wouldn't recommend at all!

Mac seems to be the make up brand of choice for late teens/early 20s.

She would probably prefer mac.

She did buy some Mac stuff on a shopping trip once so maybe that would be a better bet - not sure she has ever bought any Bobbi Brown.

I once got my eyebrows done at a Benefit counter. I am very natural blonde and I looked like I had two black slugs on my forehead. And it wasnt even in Liverpool #scousebrows

Benefit ask which colour you want...

I like Bobbi Brown but at that age I would say Mac.

I always go to inglot for my makeup

I would say urban decay.

Estee launder or Clinique
Not benefit
I recently wasted money on a concealer that wouldn't absorb into my skin even with moisturiser. Was so disappointed

Bobbi Brown is free, not sure about the others.

Mac for an 18 year old.
Bobbi Brown for yourself!

Def Mac!

Just asked dd (19)and she said Mac, urban decay or nyx (not sure if they do them) then she remembered the Mac one when she ended up looking like a Vegas showgirl.

at Vegas showgirl!

I think when you pay, it can be claimed back against whatever you buy?

Bobbi Brown are probably best. I like and buy mac makeup but I'd never get a makeover done there ever again. Seconding the vegas showgirl incident would definitely be too OTT if your DD doesn't wear much makeup Day to day

Absolutely urban decay.
Their naked range is brilliant for everyday, but they also have amazing colours and glitter items for a night time look. I've also had makeovers done there, and the artists have been friendly, helpful and not sales pushy at all

Another vote for urban decay! I've been very impressed in particular with their naked palettes, the colour is vibrant and stays put!
