Makeup in/around Winston-Salem

Hi ladies,

I am helping my sister find a makeup artist for her June wedding.  I used Updos for mine ages ago but felt it was kind of pricey.  She rarely wears makeup and is looking to to experiment with a couple of options.  What experiences have you all had the counters at the dept. stores?  Thanks!

  • The makeup counter people at Hanes Mall tend to only want to do your makeup if they think you are going to BUY from them as they are commission based.

    You would be better off using one from an upscale spa that you pay for their services rather than their makeup or one of the beauty school instructors/students.

    Having said that, I did have good luck with Lancome at Belk at Hanes because they do makeover demonstration classes and some of their associates do freelance.

  • For my sister's and my weddings we had our makeup done at Clinque at Belk.  They weren't high pressure at all as far as expecting a sale.  For my wedding, I didn't even have a trial there, I had it in Oklahoma where I lived at the time and the girl from there wrote down what she did, and I brought it with me when I had it done in Winston.  Both times, I actually did buy something, because I wanted the lipstick to use for touch ups, but I didn't feel like they expected me to do it.  (Granted, this was 4.5 years ago for me and like 7 for my sister so who knows what they're like now.)
  • She could try Elizabeth Tolley out of Charlotte. She travels and her work is amaaaazing!
