I went to Sephora pre-wedding, and had a two hour consultation (and spent $400) on an entire new face. The hourglass veil primer and the Makeup Forever Base and Powder worked amazingly, and looked flawless! I also love the Too Faced bronzer, very natrual and long lasting. The spa at my resort did have all MAC products, but I chose to use my own primer, base, powder, and bronzer, and just let them do my eyes!!! It is inevitable you will sweat, and cry, but this makeup withstood it pretty well! Good luck!
