Beauty Makeover At MAC

beauty makeover

Beauty Makeover. A few weeks ago I was contacted by Kristina from Sidewalks and Spices, to see if I wanted to participate in a run and a day of shopping. Of course I said yes to both.  Upon her arrival in Vancouver, we immediately hit the shops and the makeup counters. At this point Kristina admitted to me that she has yet to find the perfect mascara and doesn’t wear makeup on a regular basis. To be honest, she is so lovely that she doesn’t really need makeup but a little bit of colour never hurt anybody. In fact makeup, as we know, has the ability to completely transform a feature that you may never have otherwise noticed.

I had no hesitation taking Kristina to the Dior counter at Sephora. Of all the mascara’s I’ve ever tried, and there have a been few, I always come back to Diorshow.  On a funny note, as we approached the counter, the Dior rep took one look at us and said, “This is absolutely the best mascara in the whole wide world!” I promise I didn’t pay him to say that.

Then off we were to MAC. Lucky for us, they were having an event and Kristina was promptly whisked away to a makeup chair for a beauty makeover. I love wandering MAC’s isles and trying everything on so this was fine by me. Sticking mostly to neutrals for her eyes, a little bit of blush and an absolutely stunning red lipstick, her makeup artist did a wonderful job. The effect was subtle and not very dramatic, but just enough to bring out her natural features and to show off her great smile.

I’ve now accompanied many a friend for a beauty makeover and I’m thinking that maybe it’s about time that I got one myself. I think it’s a great idea to go and to learn about new products, new techniques or simply to have a few minutes of pampering.  I’m wondering if this is something everyone enjoys doing?

Have you ever had a beauty makeover, would love to hear about it!

    Believe it or not, but I’ve actually never done one of those make overs, I think I would feel really awkward sitting on display while others walk around staring at me. I probably just need to get over that and go and have fun :O). Sounds like you had a great day!

    1. Go and have fun!!!
      xo

  3. I’ve heard lots of positive review about Diorshow masacra, tons of makeup stylist us them but I haven’t tried…I’m waiting for someone I know who has tried it for a week or two.
    I did recently buy YSL’s touche Eclat Radiant touch, I’m part of the cult now! Haha

    xo, Jackie

    Great lipstick Caroline. I haven’t tried this Dior mascara, I am loyal to Lancome. They are working miracles.

    1. Oh I used to be a loyal Lancome follower but after trying Dior… I just can’t go back!
      xo

  16. We love getting makeovers! Sometimes (especially with makeup) we get so “stuck” with one look that is always the easiest and makeovers are a great way of learning new tricks and ideas!
    Kristina’s look is beautiful!
    xx

  17. Jamie "ChatterBlossom"

    xoxo Pakize

  19. OMG I love some makeup and shopping.

  20. Oh, the MAC counters are like little islands of make-up paradise, aren’ they? To be honest, I never had the time to take part in events like this..anyhow, I enjoy shopping for make-up or even setting up a wish list at home, browsing through tons and tons of blogs and online shops 🙂
