Which counter at Nordstrom's for makeup?

Ann says I shouldn't go to MAC unless I want to look like a drag queen.  : )

Re: Which counter at Nordstrom's for makeup?

  • I don't think MAC is all that bad.  They have good quality make up and lots of color selection.  I've been using this brand called Sei Bella and I absolutely LOVE it.  Only problem is, you can't buy it in stores.  It's only available through catalog.

    Big Smile  I do love their make-up (and the wide spectrum of colors), but the artists tend to be heavy-handed.  It'll help if you have a picture showing them what you want though.  I just don't want you looking like Lady Gaga when it's all done!

    My fav. counters are Nars, and Smashbox.  Here are some smashbox looks:

  • Ooooh, I didn't know they had a smashbox counter!  I'm totally onboard with them.  I always hear such great things about their makeup, but never get around to trying any.  I'll call and set up an appointment with them tomorrow. 

    I do love Lady Gaga, but I don't want to look like her in my pictures.  Wink

  • Oh, I disagree. Yes, some can be heavy-handed but not all. Anne at the downtown Nordstrom Mac counter does a really fabulous job. She did my makeup for my b-pics and it was such a nice, subtle yet beautiful look. I would highly recommend her.
  • Mac for Eyes and lips.

    Prescriptives for anything moisturizer/foundation related.

  • OK, I took all y'alls advice.  I have an appointment with Anne on Friday. 

    The Ann from here has promised to beat up the artist if she makes me all sparkly and stuff.  Wink

    Thanks!

  • I am a habitual MAC user and I do NOT look like a drag queen, nor have they ever made me look like a drag queen when I go in...

    I'm not saying that MAC make-up makes you look like a drag queen.  I love  their make-up.  I've seen 3 friends (with 3 different artists) come out looking rather tranny, so that's where my concern came from.
