It does't matter if i point to poster and explain that we are copying that - all i get to hear is how no one wants their appointment with you and yes they will say that kinda thing to your face.

That is awful....that is just awful. I wouldnt necessarily go to a MA just because what they look like...honestly I dont care who helps me...I might know that one person doesnt do my lips the way I like, but they still know their stuff...The only reason I'm particular about my ma is because he's a sweetheart not because our skin is close to the same color. people are ridiculous..I'm sorry you go through that.

People tend to forget there's a person behind the fierce make-up and can get really personal about your appearance. Most of the time it's aspirational ("I really love your eyeliner, I wish I could do my make-up like yours!" etc) but sometimes people can be incredibly brutal about your looks. Aaaaaaaaaall the time. I can't tell you how many times I've been described by customers as 'the fat girl with glasses and pink eyeshadow.'

"Can you do a smokey eye on me? Not like yours though, you look a little slutty and cheap." - one of my favourite lines as delivered to a co-worker of mine. Six months on and I think she's still smarting over that one.

Wow. People have balls! You're gorgeous girl...I can't imagine dissing an MA. I think its just insecurity. A lot of people are intimidated when they go into MAC...and I've gotten more comfortable but its just my insecurity and somewhat low self esteem that makes me feel beneath the MA's. but I'd never ever be rude to someone like that

Yeah, I have had customers say things that made me cringe, as well. I wonder, are they ingnorant to what they are saying or are they getting a little power trip off of it?

As far as wearing looks, I never did mind them, but the masks were always a bit much. Nothing like remembering you forgot to put gas in the car the night before as you are driving to work in your mask. Gotta love fuelin' up with a mask on. I looked like I was going to commit a glamourous, glittery hold-up at the gas station.

Those masks...sound awesome. Absolutely awesome. When do the MA's wear them?? I love stuff like that....even if people think its weird.
