Where should I go for a make up consultation?

The next stage in my quest for a groomed new me is to start wearing make up again. Can you help point me to the right consultation option?

Background: I'm 48 near enough, haven't worn make up more than 1-2 times a year for 20 years. Mid brown hair with lots of grey. Professional job. I can't abide heavy make up on my skin. I will pay premium prices if it's worth it but I resent feeling ripped off. I will have/make time to do make up in the morning. I'm in Australia so about to head to autumn/winter but generally will need some spf.

I've researched options at our local department store and I can book a full consultation with: Lancome, MAC (expensive though!), Bobbi Brown, Tom Ford, Napoleon Perdis, Laura Mercier or Dior.

I'm leaning towards Dior or Lancome as I've had their stuff in the past. MAC has put me off because they don't appear to net the booking fee off against purchases as all the others promise. Mostly though, I'm clueless. Who should I go with?

I wish I’d discovered B.B. years ago too. I went when my DD was getting married and they were amazingly helpful.
I spent a fortune but it last ages.
