MAC experience

Sooooo yesterday I went to my local MAC store to buy a new foundation that had more coverage. I had recently gone to the MAC on 22nd and 5th ave., and the MAC associate told me to purchase the Face and Body foundation if I wanted more coverage. I ended up leaving without purchasing the foundation because something told me not to buy it. Point is that yesterday at the MAC on 42nd street, the associate was extremely helpful. I had told her that I wanted to try the Face and Body foundation because I wanted more coverage and that the lady at the 22nd street MAC had told me that this one was perfect. She looked at me with a surprised face and said, "she is soooo wrong. The Face and Body foundation is the sheerest thing ever. You would have to be constantly building coverage. I would recommend this to a teenager who is starting out. Not someone like yourself who seems to know what they're doing." She then smiled and said, "Your makeup tells me that you know a lot about this field." I kid you not, I was replaying the fact that I was 5 seconds away from buying a 33 dollar bottle of foundation that would've failed at what I was looking for, had I purchased it at the MAC on 22nd. 

I guess the point of my story is that sometimes you cannot believe what a makeup sales associate tells you. Most of the time they're just trying to get a Sale out of you, (at the end of the day, that is all that really matters to them) versus trying to actually help you find something that fits you. BUT, if you get lucky, you'll get someone who actually know what they're doing. Maybe she was just tired or new, because I'm sure MAC makes their employee learn everything there is to know about their products.

My personal tip to you guys would be to do your research. Go on the website, read the description, look up reviews on the product, THEN decide if it's worth buying and if its right for you. Do not go out and buy something because its expensive or because everyone else is buying it-- that's dumb.

I ended up buying the Studio Fix Fluid. I LOVE IT.
