What do make-up artist compliment you on?
LJB829
Every make-up artist always gushes about how *beautiful* my skin is & ask me
what I use, they *love* my eyes & the way I apply make-up & the colors I use
(I actually showed 2 MA's how I do them, and another counter suggested I apply
for a job there), my nails and my lips & lipstick. I usually start talking
w/the MA's & they usually assume that I'm in the industry - its pretty funny!!
Well, now that I'm done tooting my own horn.... (slightly embarrased)

I love getting my make-up done because it is *such* an ego boost! Whoever does
my make-up is always complimentary on my hair, eye shape, eye colour (green),
long lashes, and full lips. I know part of it might be to butter you up and
make the sale-- but as MLiz and Cheryl know, our Stila girl Dona is not one to
hand you a line... Either way, it still feels good to be complimented.
Anybody else??

Donna tells it like it is. She thought my eyes were easy to do because they
are "big". I usually get compliments on my skin. Its clear now after years
of drugs and a current routine of Accutane. I **love** hearing that...

Great thread! It's nice to have your make-up done when you're having a
bad day because the compliments really boost you! Like Christina, most
people comment on my hair, eye shape and colour (green, too!!)
Unfortunately, I inherited my father's very thin Native American lips and
make-up artists often mention my thin lips!

My skin is kind of brownish, yellowish, white.
My eyes are greyish, green.
But I'm told they're orange at night
My hair is reddish, blondish.
But is silver when it's wet.
And all the colours I am inside, have not been invented yet.

I don't see this, but *every* time I have had my makeup done by a MA
they compliment me on my eyes, not just the color (green) but the
shape/size of the lid. "You have great eyelids to put color on" is the
standard comment. Weird. And usually my nails get a mention which is
nice since I used to be a horrid nailbiter.

They always compliment me on my smooth skin and long dark eyelashes. (They
always tell me I don't need to use mascara! I do anyway.)

I never go to makeup artists anymore (they always give me such an
unnatural look!), but every time I get a manicure they compliment
me on my long, thin hands, and I *always* hear that I have the
hands of a pianist. I guess I missed my calling. ;)

Both times it was "I love doing makeup on Asian eyes because they're so
beautiful," right before I got a truly bizarre makeup job which might
have looked normal on a non-Asian person but gave me, to quote _Gone With
the Wind_, the odd lashless look of a rabbit.
When just perusing makeup counters I usually get comments on my skin,
which I'm glad is good, because I hate foundation and never use it.

eye color, eye lashes, eyebrows and attitude!

The last time I had a Bobbi Brown makeover Curtis Phelps came over, stared
at my face for a few seconds and declared "She needs to groom her
eyebrows". Said as though I wasn't sitting right in front of him. An
attitude like that certainly isn't going to make me want to run to cash
register to buy a lot of their makeup!
But usually ma's compliment me on my eye color and the way I do my lips.

I don't want to be the downer on this wonderful thread that my dear friend
Christina started (hi Foppa), but I think the MA give out these compliments to
sell! I don't believe them, then again in can be my low self esteem. But the
more compliments I get the more I buy?
Just my 2cents!

I've also heard "it's easy to work on your eyes b/c they're big" more
than once. Also, long lashes; & once an Elizabeth Arden MA said
I had a perfect mouth. Did I buy anything that day? What do you think?.

I've been complimented on my skin, and told that I don't need
foundation.. so I barely wear it except as a concealer, and for
special occations.
And also my eyelashes, how well spaced they were :) haha

I'm totally with you. Those insincere compliments made by some people in
the business are truely embarrassing. Someone I know says "You have
beautiful eyes" to EVERY client she touches. My concern is also fresh
breath and nails/brushes. And I always warn my client that my hand is cold.
Other than that I occassionaly comment on people's lashes (as I have
non-existent lashes), not to suck up, but to make the client a little more
comfortable/confident. If the client is that beautiful and perfect (with
beautiful eyes, georgeous lashes, perfect complextion, full lips, shapely
cheekbones, great bone structure, hair that's beautiful enough to be on a
shampoo comercial, etc) would she need any product?

How weird... Just yesterday I was thinking that I hate it when makeup
artists and/or hair stylists compliment me on anything. To me, that is
just gauche. Like I don't know a fake compliment when I hear one! And it
always sounds like a cash register.

Skin and eyelashes. Only one make-up artist (Px) has put foundation on
me. The rest have said I don't need it.
