Today I wanted to talk a little about something most people have heard of, but may not have taken advantage of; MAC makeup appointments. I’m sure most of you have heard, and probably shopped at MAC Cosmetics. They might be the place you go for your favourite lipstick or foundation, maybe you’ve walked by a counter or store at the mall and seen the giant displayers of eyeshadows in every colour of the rainbow, or perhaps you watch makeup tutorials online and have heard the name over and over. Either way, whether you’re new to MAC or have been a faithful customer for years, a makeup appointment with an artist is always an essential. It’s a time to learn a couple new techniques or take a new product for a test-drive. So that being said, here is where I can explain to you what it’s all about, and how to do it.

The first step is going to be booking, though it varies at different locations, you can always stop by or call in to make your appointment. In Canada, at a department store counter (The Bay) upon booking you obligate yourself to a $50 (before taxes) makeup purchase. Now depending on your financial situation, I know this can sound scary, especially if you’re new to MAC and have some reservations about parting with that much money. Fortunately you’re not going to find yourself in just a grab and go situation, with the booking you’re guaranteed the undivided attention of your artist from start to end (usually half an hour to an hour for the appointment) where you can ask all the questions you want AND get the answers in a way that you can understand. As well, products will be specially chosen for you based on any concerns or looks you might want to achieve.
