As an actor, I often have to find a specific type of make-up or a color that I wouldn't typically wear but is necessary for the show. It is difficult to get this done at a department store (where I usually buy my make-up) because employees work at specific counters and are supposed to sell their brand only. For me, Sephora is a lifesaver.
Today, I had to find red lipstick (I NEVER wear red lipstick) that would 1) look good and 2) look like it was from the 1930s. I walked into Sephora in Times Square and foolishly just started to try on reds. My face was a mess. I was losing patience. I needed help. A very friendly Sephora worker not only came to my aid, but she found me a very affordable brand!
Sephora is great because a customer is able to mix and match brands. I like to wander the aisles, hoping to find a new product without having the pressure of having a salesperson pull it out of a counter ready for a big sale. Thumbs up, Sephora!
