My suspicions were confirmed; the shade used really was too light for my skin tone.

My suspicions were confirmed; the shade used really was too light for my skin tone.
I told the sales
rep this but because it was the darkest shade in the store she encouraged me to
buy it. Needless to say I left the store without buying the foundation.
I went elsewhere
and bought something that was more expensive but it was something I had used
years ago. The only reason I had stopped using it was because the
retailer had stopped selling my shade; thankfully it was in stock.
It saddened me and
angered me slightly to think that (1) had I not known what to look for I would
have bought that foundation and (2) unsuspecting women would have received and
accepted similar 'solutions'.
More make-up sales
reps must realise the importance of what they do and take it seriously.
They have a duty to ensure that their recommendations enhance the beauty
of their customers. Please, please don't just sell what you have; sell something that meets the needs of the customer.
In the meantime we must educate ourselves so that we
know what to look for. Thankfully there is a lot of information available
on the Internet. I shudder to think that I would have been styling around with
an ashy looking face as was the case years ago from previous consultations.
What kind of
experience have you had with make-up consultations and
recommendations?
