friday i had to walk to the back for a few seconds just to regain my composure cuz i was about to choke a lil bitch with my #129!!
went like this:
girl comes in with a 2 oclock app, however whoever made the app put in in under the wrong date, well i couldnt turn her away so i sat her down and thought, i can bust this one out, shes pretty, it wont take much. she tells me shes real simple, wants concealer a little bronzer black eyeliner and purple under her eyes and lashes. ok simple right? wrong!! she wasnt bitchy she was just really whiney. ugh! she tells me she hates her hair and she cried at the salon and how she has to look perfect cuz shes only a sophmore and shes nervous about going to prom blah blah blah. she points at this tiny speck and is like 'im breaking out all over you have to cover this".... really?? homegirl has perfect skin, shes seeing spots that dont exist! so i do a tiny bit of select cover and dust a lil studio fix powder and for her eyes i did malt with wedge in the crease and shroom to highlight since she wanted it really natural. then engraved on the top lid and permaplum on the bottom. so shes warmed up to me and im think im about done and shes like, 'well do you think i should do some color on my eyes? i dont know... i dont do makeup, i dont wear it, i suck at it. what do you think?' so i tell her sure ill add a little color so i did satelite dreams in her outer "v" and smudged it under her eye. i ask her about lips, she wants nude but with sparkles, hmmm bare necessity dazzleglass, so i use that and she asks" is it too sparkley? will it go with the dress? it has to look perfect.." i wish she would just chill cuz shes so pretty and the makeup looks soft but beautiful but she was such a debby downer and second guessing everythig. well then we get to lashes. she wanted natural but ones you can see, i suggested 20s because shes never worn them and they are comfortable. she wants strips i show her a few that i thought would look good, we go with 33s. sigh... this is where i was gonna lose it - i put one on, its perfectly place along the lashline (i pride myself on being one of the best at applying lashes, my coworkers have me do their own lashes) and she tells me its eavy, she can see the lash, its poking her (it wasnt) so i pull it up a bit, not good enough, pull it a bit more, no still feels heavy, finally i take it off and place it again, against my better judgment higher on the lid. shes happy with how it feels, but i hate that i can see the lash spine glued to her lid. i do the other and try to make it just as high on the lid. its not, its heavy too, push it up, now its to far up, pull it down, now the corner is poking. ugh!! i finally say 'ya know girl, maybe lashes arent for you, i want you to be comfortable but to look good as well". she looks at me like this is life or death 'no!! i have to wear lashes!! like i just have to!!" so i try to get them adjusted, meanwhile through all this im stepping away to help walk ups and this girl is holding up a chair, this shouldnt take that long especially seeing as how prom girls only spend the minimum $50, im not trying to waist my day with her. so i get the lashes to her satisfaction, and then cover the band with black track so it doesnt look obvious. 'is that like thicker than the other? does one look more black? can you tell they are fake lashes?" omg!! shut up, it looks perfect! stop being ocd about things that arent even there. in the end she looked like a mini- kim kardashian (when she does her more natural looks), and the girl was happy and even bought the bare necessity as well as the bronzer and lashes... yup 3 items after taking up over an hour of my time.
jeeeez.... just a few more weekends to go....
