MAC

The salesperson could not have been less interested in selling me anything.

Okay, I’m weak! I CAVED! Shoot me! (… with love, that is! …).
Only 1 week, and I am already back at MAC for a makeover! And even after the horrifying experience last week at the Queen Street location! Call me crazy, but desperate times calls for desperate measures! I was attending a very special event last night, so I was in dire need of a shot of glamour!
KATE
This time, I was prepared! To avoid «misunderstandings» like last week (with Jen — from another location), I got a screenshot of myself with a past makeover that I loved and flashed it for the stylist. Kate, my assigned stylist, reiterated what she saw on the screen, just to be sure we were on the same page. I liked her immediately, but still skeptical…
As we gabbed away about our love for trying new things and food reviews, she lightly applied my makeup, stopping the conversation often to ask me what I thought so far! What do you think? Add more? Add less? What do you want to change? How does your skin feel? How do your eyes feel? She said she always starts LIGHT, and applies more as needed. Smart woman! NOTE: All of the MAC cosmetics I’ve been to show you the «grande reveal» at the end. But after last week’s episode, no more «ugly surprises» for this girl! Luckily, this location had mirrored walls throughout, so I was catching glimpses of the entire process. And I was liking it all along the way! YAY!
LOCATION
Located downstairs at The Bay, it’s a great little niche tucked away from the crowds of people taking the subway and commuting to every-​which-​way. So come here for your «complimentary» makeover with Kate! ($ 50 purchase required). She makes you feel like she’s one of your girlfriends, much too fun to talk with, very witty, very energetic, and another perfectionist! My makeup stayed in place all night, and I felt beautiful! THANK YOU KATE!!!
GET HERE
Take the TTC get off at Yonge-​Bloor Station. Exit the south exit, and The Bay is across the street from the station. Go downstairs to the right and you can’t miss it! Ask for KATE and tell her I said HI!
