My lovely coworker came into work today with this extremely sad face, and gave me the most pitiful puppy eyes ever.  I looked at her, and at first, I thought she was sick!

Nope!

Her face was just caked in foundation!  Mineral foundation to be exact!!

So she went to the Prescriptives counter at the local Macy's to test out their mineral foundation.  The overly enthusiastic sales assistant caked foundation that was at least 2 shades too light for her all over her face.  He didn't even blend it that well!  She felt like he was treating her as a Japanerse geisha with a super white painted face.  Definitely not the look she was going for.

To make it worse, he topped everything off with the most unnatural shade of peachy pink blush on her, and extended her eyebrows way past where it should end.  I literally help up my pen and angled it with her nose and eyes, and the brows were drawn at least 1/2 a centimeter too long.

Ok fine, you caked this poor girl in hideous makeup.  At least try to balance out everything!  Nope, he left her with bare lips and bare eyes, which just made the cakey foundation even more prominent!

She said she liked the texture and all, but gals, bad makeovers happen at counters more often than not.  Once in a while you'll find someone who is actually good at a counter, but those people are normally promoted or recruited elsewhere within a drop of a hat.

K, I must head to the gym now.  Just wanted to share my coworker's horror counter story with you guys.  Do you guys have any scary counter stories to share?
