MAC, Sephora or Bare Essentials
I rarely wear makeup - when I do I try to apply eyeshadow (but I don't do a great job at it), mascara and lip gloss...
I wanted to know where can I go to get the basic supply to apply makeup and a quick tutor lesson on how to apply?

MAC! They showed me how to use foundation and powder to cover up my breakups perfectly.

Re: MAC, Sephora or Bare Essentials
Sephora.. while I do have some mac eyeshadows and blushes that I like, I'm not an overall fan.. I dont' like being restricted to just one brand

Re: MAC, Sephora or Bare Essentials
Are you looking for just those items, or did you want to expand to foundation, conclealer, powder, blush, etc?
Mac is great for eyeshadows & lipgloss. Their foundations get mixed reiews.
I think the people there are more knowledgable than the staff at Sephora, but you have to go when it isn't crowded if you really want a lesson.
At Sephora, it really depends who get and I suspect sometimes they are pushing a certain brand that week, so their opinions may be biased. (JMO)
Also, they have so many different things to chosoe from, I don't think they can possibly know enough about all of the products & if you are a beginner, it can be overwhelming to start there on your own.
Sephora does sell Bare Essentials though, if you want to try that out.
You could also go to a department store & pick one brand and the person a the coutner will help you & if you don't like everything they use, you can try another counter.
It depends on what store you go to, as to what counters they have but, Mac, Laura Mercier & Clinique are good places to start.

Re: MAC, Sephora or Bare Essentials
Thank you all for the responses...
I think to get the best "look" I should get at least foundation and blush
I really don't know what I would need.... It's definitely time I start wearing makeup because I look TIRED! But I want it to be easy to do every morning - because with a toddler at home that I have to take care of before getting to work there isn't too much time ....soon to have a newborn and toddler.

Re: MAC, Sephora or Bare Essentials
If you don't normally wear it, I'd suggest Bare Minerals - go to Sephora they have everything you can think of.
I adore MAC makeup, but their artists tend to get a bit crazy even when you tell them 'natural' - I can never replicate what they do ........

like i wrote in my other post, i went to mac as a makeup virgin. the girl had sick makeup on and i was afraid that she'd make me look like a drag queen. but she did it all very natural!
i've been to sephora and mac and i think mac ppl in general are more knowlegable. (and some have better taste)

Re: MAC, Sephora or Bare Essentials
I do prefer Sephora because I feel like it's a bigger selection, but I do love MAC too.
