I love how when I go into Ulta looking for help it’s a ghost town But when I go into ulta not needing help everyone is there asking me if I need help. Can the employees smell the desperation and run? I JUST WANT FOUNDATION RECS BC MINE SUCKS ASS 😭

i know they have to ask but if i’m staring at a shelf with my phone, im looking up pros and cons of both & someone asking “do you need help with anything” completely loses my train of thought

This isn’t any hate on the workers. Just the weird Truman show ass shit that happens when I go somewhere Also—the times when I need help the only one worker there is helping a woman in her 60’s who is not taking any of their recommendations and is giving them a hell of a time and I’m like “okay I’ll look for it myself and I’ll pray for the beauty consultant”

I went in some time back and said that I needed a foundation under $35 and this woman looked me up and down and said that nothing helps in $35 will be fit for me. I expected this from Sephora but Ulta??

This is why I had to learn to color match myself bc no one at the Sephora or ulta in my area would help. I mean my makeup is cute but it took me waaaay too long to figure out 😭

I one time was showing a lady a video with the pencil color and everything and she was showing me shit that was $40 and the wrong fucking color I took myself to Nars and found that shit immediately. But it was like talking to a piece of styrofoam trying to get her to find me a light cool tone brown She kept showing me like dark brown and chestnut IT WAS A BEIGE NUDE

the employees at my ulta are thankfully nice & helpful, however i am painfully awkward & prefer to look something up on my phone versus having someone else tell me something (i feel like im bothering them if i ask)

Mine are either all in or nowhere to be found. But they are nice most of the time

I’m so pale I just pluck the lightest shade. But I have been noticing some 001 shades w “undertones” will turn it 5 shades darker than it needs to be Like that’s not how color mixing is supposed to work 😭

Some colors oxidize as well and become darker so it could be that 🤷‍♀️

If it oxidizes darker then it’s not a pale ivory it’s something else. And that’s why I have trust issues

Yeah it’s pretty annoying 😭 most of the drug store brands never have my shade. I have Olive undertones but I’m also on the paler side. Usually Olive undertones come in medium to darker shades 😞
