So with all the reviews about Mac makeup, I'm thinking about going for a trial.

 

Now would you go to an actual Mac store or a store like Macys for your trial? I have both here around me, I just don't know if there's a difference.

I think it would probably be the same at either. I most recently went to the MAC counter at Bloomingdales for my e-pics, and loved it! I asked the guy if it was considered more prestigious in the Mac community to work at a department store Mac counter or at a MAC store, and he told me that there really was no difference. I think you're good either way. Hope this helps!

I actually did both when I was looking for my wedding day makeup. I don't think there was a big difference except that the counter at Macy's was a bit busier than the MAC store was. Macy's only had 2 consultants whereas the MAC store had like 4. If you have time, why not do both on different days & see how the experiences differ. I found that both consultants used different products so I was able to experiment much more.

 

Also, don't mention that you're the bride. I would tell them that you are a BM or something, going to a DW. When I went to one store & told them I was a bride, they did not want to give me a trial & wanted me to schedule a "bridal consultation". At another store, I didn't have that problem but they did say that they typically make you have an appt if you're the bride. I guess it varies from store to store but that was my experience.

I have had both done. For my wedding trial I went to the store. One advantage to the store is that there are certain products that are only sold in the MAC Stores and online such as the pigments. My makeup held up perfect for my wedding at 4am it still looked as good as when i did it! I love MAC!

Thanks girls!!

 

Our Mac store is in The Pier at Ceaser's. So I'm thinking its going to be more expensive.

 

Maybe I'll try out both. I'll have to see once it gets closer and I start going tanning for a bit!!

 

Bridgett,

 

Everyone I've talked to swears by Mac. I figured I'd try it, since so many say it makes such a big difference with pictures.

 

We shall see!!
