As I mentioned on Friday, I had another makeup trial this weekend. This time was almost the exact opposite of my first experience - I walked out and Mr. Sundae said, “Did you not have the trial?” There was barely anything on my face…no foundation, no blush, no bronzer, just a little eyeshadow, some mascara, and some pink lip gloss. Basically, how I look nearly every day when I leave for work.

I asked about the foundation, and she thought that because my skin was clear I didn’t need anything. Sort of makes sense but at least some powder, no? I know, I know, I should have been pushier but halfway through I realized there was just no point. I wasn’t going to be using her so I just politely paid and made my exit. I didn’t even take pictures because, well, there wasn’t much to capture on film

But I have not given up hope! I contacted Beauty on Call, which is based in Chicago but they will travel to Wisconsin for a small fee. A friend of mine is getting married in May and using them for her makeup, so hopefully this will be my final trial. They’re definitely a little more than I wanted to spend, but at this point I am running out of options! I contacted them yesterday and it takes 2-3 weeks to match you with a stylist, so I should know something soon.

The good news is that the meeting with the coordinators at The Abbey went really well, as did the table mock-ups! Now I just need to get my lazy bee butt in gear and get the pictures off my camera
