Makeup Counter Confessions

Is it just me, or does it seem that when someone other than yourself does your makeup, it looks dramatically overdone?
I had a gift card to spend, and I decided that getting nice makeup that wasn't on clearance at Longs to be putting it to good use. (Not to rag on those clearances... some of my longest lasting eyeshadows were from those sales!)

I even went so far as to bring a magazine... in case i needed to point out faces that I felt were 'ideal' makeup looks. Then I chickened out from showing it because I didn't want to accidentally offend Shiseido by showing Chanel faces or vice versa.

My little makeup session wasn't so bad though. I asked for more day to day "work" makeup and the results were still a little much, but I think i picked up a few tricks in the end. (...and easily used up the funds on my gift card.)

So what does my little prince Barklee think of his owner's updated face?
