The world of Makeup can be scary, these questions are here to help!
1. What’s a good/cheap starting brand?
Makeup is expensive. For beginners, it’s best to look for cheaper products before spending a lot on high end brands, because it allows you to experiment without hurting your wallet.
2. Do you have any classes I could take?
The fun thing about Sephora is that they offer free make up classes, in-store or by appointment. Learning from an instructor is a great way to help any beginner or veteran.
3. Can you teach me how to [insert makeup technique]?
From contouring to applying eyeliner or even filling in your brows, simply ask a Sephora expert and they’ll show you how. Be prepared though, because they only do half the work, the rest is on you!
4. Can you help me find [insert makeup product/brand name]?
Usually beginners have a general idea of what make-up technique they want to try out but don’t know where to find it or what it looks like. Asking a Sephora expert usually resolves this issue.
5. How do I use this?
The most important part of buying makeup is to use it, and for beginners that have little to no experience, this would be the question to ask. At Sephora, experts are more than ready to help!
6. How long can I use this?
It’s important to know that makeup has a lifespan. Continuing to use makeup products past the expiration date can do more harm than good, so it’s always best to ask to be on the safe side.
7. How do I take it off?
Sometimes you need more than just water and soap to remove makeup. Knowing and purchasing the proper products to safely and easily remove it is essential to any beginner, since prolonged wear can cause irritation or damage to your skin.
8. Can you match my skin tone?
Knowing products that match your skin tone allows you to look “natural” while skillfully covering up any blemishes or pimples you may have without it looking too obvious.
9. Can you tell me about Sephora’s Beauty Insider?
Sephora’s Beauty Insider is a rewards program where you can accumulate points to get free stuff. Yes, free. The program benefits for members range from free gifts on your birthday to even free custom makeovers!
Good luck, Collegiettes!
