Howdy! A few weeks ago an old friend who works at MAC reached out to me to ask if she could do my makeup. I was so surprised to hear from her as we just kind of fell out of our friendship when I was in college. Surprised, yes, but really happy too! It was so nice to be thought of and I never pass up the opportunity to see old friends. Johnny and I made the trip to Southpark Mall in Strongsville for my girl to do her thing and it was magical. The only time I have ever got my makeup done was for my wedding so it was a huge treat. What was even better was that my makeup artist and I were able to pick up like no time had passed at all! Take a look at her handiwork and peep the OOTD with the special MOTD soon!

Makeup is, honestly, very unknown territory for me. I like the brands I like, the products I like, and the colors I like and never stray far from it. Part of it is out of habit but I guess the other part is that I would rather spend my money on new clothes over new makeup! As I sat in my makeup artist’s chair, I was dumbfounded by all of the products that she compiled to beat my face with. It confirmed that I really do know nothing about makeup lol but I couldn’t wait to see the end results. Each step was fascinating and it was wild to see so many techniques used because all I’m familiar with is my lack thereof!

Prior to my appointment, I asked my pal if she wanted me to wear anything specific and she said to wear whatever and she’d make it work. I decided on a 70s chic outfit and was so curious to see her takeaway from my look. What she landed on was a phoenix inspired MOTD and it absolutely blew my mind. I’m not going to lie, I was initially a little worried as the eye makeup was SO different than anything that I could manage on my own. Then, I saw the full effect and ate those worries right up. This MOTD was giving David Bowie a la Thin White Duke and I was feeling myself SO hard.

This makeup session was a blast from start to finish but it was, first and foremost, so impressive. As soon as I walked to the MAC counter in Macy’s, a vision came to my artist and she expertly saw it through. Every step was so precise, each color used was a perfect match, and she applied it like it was nothing. Not to mention she was applying it while we were chattering away too! I have a feeling that there will be many more collaborations in store for us and be sure to peep my TikTok at lilred6794 for more from this experience!!

I am in love with the look that we created together and can’t wait to see what we dream up next!! ❤

Where do you like to shop for makeup? Do you get your makeup done often? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah
