ULTA in-store makeover

I need to update my make-up but I'm not great at doing it on my own.  If I go into ULTA is there someone there who can help apply some stuff and guide me?  Or is this something I need to call in advance and get an official "makeover"?

Also, I assume it will be free like at a dept store make-up counter?

TIA.

One beautiful toddler and one beautiful baby.

Re: ULTA in-store makeover

  • Do all the Ultas have a salon? (I'm not an Ulta person so I'm not sure) If so, I'm sure there are makeup artists there that can help. If that's not what you are thinking I would call in advance to see if someone can help.

    Department store makeup artists aren't really "free" in the sense that they expect you to buy products...and some require it.

  • I think Sephora would be better than Ulta for this. I could be wrong, but I think Sephora trains their staff to be more like a makeup artist, whereas Ulta just has regular sales associates.

    It depends. Some Ultas have trained cosmetics people. Like Sephora, they tend to be employed by or associated with a specific product line. This means they'll steer you to that on which they get commissions rather than what's best for you.

    I always start by asking who they work for and who's line they represent.

    This.  Don't go to the Ulta salon because if you schedule an appt there, they'll charge.

    When I've done "makeovers", I've usually had intereset in a specific product and have worked with someone on the line, like Benefit, for a makeover
