Makeup Lessons with Clinique

Summary

Caroline states that we could always use a little assistance from experts, when it comes to adding a little flavour to our daily makeup routine or simply discovering the basics. Clinique makeup artists can be found at any department store but their skills are preeminent. She says the greatest way to get the artist’s full attention is to call ahead at least a day in advance and make an appointment. It is best to book appointments on weekdays, the lesson runs for about an hour and is free of charge. Also, you can walk-in for a makeup session at Clinique if you like. They prefer beginners and will teach you the basics with ease. Caroline states that it is recommended knowing the names of all the products you wash and moisturize your face with before going in and talking about your massive skincare concerns. Due to business reasons, you may be pressured to buy certain items at the end of the session. However, Caroline recommends making a beauty budget before you go, keeping in mind the products you love and the ones you could refrain, so you don’t feel pressured when the session is over. 

Opinion

I think this is a fascinating article by Caroline. Everyone needs help and assistance when it comes to applying makeup. Applying makeup is not as easy as it appears to be. There are many types of looks and techniques you must be familiar with. Clinique makeup artists are found at many department stores but their skills are inimitable. However, I was completely clueless that Clinique offered free of cost makeup sessions. The great part is they run for an hour and you can go whenever you like. Although, in order to get the artist’s full attention it is best to call ahead at least one day in advance, and make an appointment. The greatest time to book appointments is during weekdays. I find it amazing that you can book an appointment and have a confirmed spot available. Which makes it much easier to fit the appointment in your schedule, and you don’t need to mix it in with your weekends. It is incredible that the artists prefer beginners because normally artists prefer people with experience and expertise.
