I made an appointment at my mac and it didnt matter. The MUA was working on someone when I got there and it went up until 15 min into my appointment. Then while he applying my makeup he kept stopping to talk to all his buddies that he knew. It was not a good experiance at all and it was on my birthday!!

Booked myself into the Chelsea store and they appear to be having some sort of event with a "Featured Artist" Ģ50 of product and an hour of a half getting a lesson. SOOOO excited
I got my make up done two years ago at a MAC store for my prom, and I didn't like it. It was SO much make up; thick foundation and too dark eyes. And it wasn't a minimum purchase or anything like that (I would have preferred that because I would have been able to take some products home), it was a $50 set fee I believe and then I got a free mascara. And I ended up buying the lustre glass she used so I ended spending almost $90 on something I didn't like..hopefully if I ever opt to do that again it will be a better experience!
PS this was in Toronto, Canada

I got the $55 (CDN) service with free mascara yesterday at a MAC store. Is the '$x redeemable for product' service available at MAC stores or only at MAC counters inside dept stores? I opted for a MAC store instead of a counter b/c I was told that working at a MAC store is a promotion over the counter...
The private room was nice and the MA did a nice neutral eye but she didn't bother color matching and just slapped on tinted moisturizer with powder on top to lighten it but the undertone was all wrong i.e. too orange so that was very disappointing. I commented but she just blamed the lighting. I don't own a MAC foundation and was hoping to be color matched so that I could consider it as a heavier coverage option but that didn't happen yesterday. Maybe next time...

well does anyone know whether its the same fee in germany
they told me itīs three items, but I was wondering if the Mua just said that because she knows I will get the palette from MUAīs Collection, since I resered it and wants ,me to spend even more. Has anyone eer heard of the 3 piece rule?

I'm in Alberta and our counter in the Bay is 'redeemable for product' but our free standing store (in the same mall) is just a set makeover fee. I have a makeover booked for next week and I always choose our counter. The girls there are awesome! My fav gal is a true pin up doll and sweet as can be. There's another girl there that used to free lance at the FSS, but just took a permanent position at the counter, so I'm not sure if the store is a promotion over the counter.

Wow this thread has been really helpful! I've been buying MAC Make up for years now (I always thought the girls being made up are just being colormatched or something) and this is something I've never done!
I really like to try this out at a PRO store. I'm confused. The $50 fee is redeemable in product, right? I've been reading posts earlier that this only applies to department store counters.
I'm editing to add that the PRO store I want to go to is in Los Angeles.
Do you know any MUA in the area though who would be great?

Ok so EVERY time I go into a MAC store or to a MAC counter the employees always tell me I should schedule and appointment to get my make-up done. I was kind of skeptical about getting it done before but now I kind of want to after reading this thread.
But one thing I have a problem with is I wear contacts and I'm really nervous about them getting anything in my eyes (I have SUPER sensitive eyes) so if I tell an MA about it will they be more gentle when applying eyeshadow and all that?
I'm confused - my mac store (flatiron NYC) told me that the fee is $50 and not redeemable in product, otherwise I would totally get one, and spend a lot! There are about 4 "looks" that I want to really perfect and thought this would be the perfect way.

I'm pretty sure freestanding actual stores don't allow the $50 to be redeemable in products. Only counters at stores like Macy's and Nordstroms allow the $50 to be redeemable in products.
