If you've ever wandered the aisles of a beauty store and wished you knew insider tricks for using all of their products, a Sephora makeup appointment is just what you need. Whether you're a makeup expert or a total newbie, there's always something new to learn. Ahead, find out how you can have the Sephora pros teach you more.



The Whys
Sephora's shelves are bursting with makeup and skincare items, and the more you know about them, the better you'll look. Instead of trying to teach yourself all of the ins and outs of beauty products, let the store's Beauty Advisors show you how at a Sephora makeup appointment. Besides, having your makeup professionally done is just plain fun.

The Types
Sephora offers three levels of Beauty Studio services. First, there's the option for a 15-minute Mini Makeover. A Beauty Advisor will help you with one technique, such as Essential Eyeliner or Perfect Lips. Some stores even offer the option of quick facials.

The next step up is the 45-minute Custom Makeover. A Beauty Advisor will do your full makeup so you'll leave the store with a total makeover.

For those who really want the deluxe treatment, Sephora offers the Personal One-on-one. You'll be assigned one of Sephora's Senior Beauty Advisors, who will not only give you a makeover but also provide personalized skincare tips and help you find your best fragrance options.

The Costs
Does this all sound great but totally out of your price range? Never fear. Sephora makeup appointments are more affordable than you might think. In fact, the 15-minute Mini Makeovers are completely free!

If you'll be stocking up on products at Sephora anyway, you might as well schedule one of the longer sessions. That's because both are complimentary with a qualifying purchase. To do the Custom Makeover, you just have to spend $50 or use a $50 gift card. The 90-minute session is available to customers who spend $125 or more.

One more thing: If you've reached VIB Rouge status with Sephora's Beauty Insider loyalty program, you can do any of the Sephora makeup sessions for free without making a qualifying purchase!

The Hows
Mini Makeovers require no appointment. Just stop by your local store's Beauty Studio.

Appointments for the longer sessions can be made online. Select your store, choose an available time and enter a bit of personal info. Soon, you'll be on your way to personalized beauty tips at a Sephora makeup appointment.

The Reviews
Many people who have had Sephora makeup appointments positively summarize their experience. As one reviewer commented, "All in all I found the experience helpful." People do note, however, that your session can vary greatly depending on who does your makeup.

According to another user in the Sephora online community, "The most important thing to do is make sure you're clear about what you like and don't like."
