I want to try a counter make-up advice session - but...

[laweaselmys]

I'm allergic to perfume so sitting in the cosmetic section of a department store is just going to send me to hospital.

Anybody got any ideas? Preferably inexpensive ones?

(My actual make up issue is that I have very dry skin and having to heavily moisturise means my skin always has blemishes so need advice on disguising this, without making my skin worse)

Space NK might not be as bad for the perfume.

I was just going to say Space NK - plus they use multiple products so ( whilst expensive) at least you don't just get flogged whatever the counter sell IYSWIM

(BTW I went to SNK with the same problem.
I now use Eve Lom and chantecaille and my skin is a squillion times better.)

Hmm, might have to do a day trip to bluewater then since there's no SNK near me - but there are worse things in the world.

Will ask about the Eve Lom and Chantecaille as well, thanks!

My biggest fear with make up counter makeovers is - are you expected to turn up with no make up on at all?? - am just not sure that i could! Always like my face on before leaving the house.

No fear tinseltot....if you go along with make up on they will cleanse your face before applying their magic anyway

The make up ladies are all orange though

yes, i find that too coco. Its why I only ever approach very underdone ladies/men on Chanel & YSL counters if I am looking for daywear make up. Otherwise I head off to MAC where all the bright eyed and lovely ladies work
