Hi there, Fishes!
I’m planning on going to Macy’s this weekend to the Estée Lauder counter and buying like $400 of new makeup. I’m in a good place in my life now and have lost a lot of weight, so I want to start dating again, which is why I want all new makeup. I’m totally WFH, so I don’t wear makeup during the day. Especially when you’re buying that much makeup and the cosmetic associate has to spend a lot of time with you, do you tip her when you pay for your purchase? I have no idea. Thx!

I would go to Sephora over Macy’s. As someone who is a bit of a makeup-holic, I would never buy EL. So many more interesting, cleaner, better formulated brands (even ones under the EL umbrella - like Mac or Bobbi Brown).

Thx!!!!

I’d recommend considering some makeup from other brands, even ones you can find at Macy’s. For example if you’re looking to splurge on a foundation, Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk can’t be beat.

Her commission is 3%… they also take it away when you return items….Be kind…Buy only what you need and don’t rent cosmetics…Associates have to make a living too…

Enjoy, this sounds so fun! I WFH and wear makeup everyday at home. Makes me feel so much better

Agree to go to Sephora instead. Way better brands, more variety. The associates are usually pretty knowledgeable and can help you find products you will love

Sephora or Ulta will be your best bet over Macys :)

I’ve had thoughts lately of tossing most of what I own and starting fresh with fewer, but higher quality items. I started using Chanel eyeliners and love them for their long wear. I also like Charlotte Tilbury lip liners and lipsticks. Bobbi Brown has great lipsticks and lip tints too.

How fun! Congratulations on your weight loss, good luck!

I tip the traveling makeup artist that came to the store. The sales associate got the commission.
