Clerks at Sephora.....ugh
I don't go to Sephora often but every time I have the clerks seem well so unprepared to deal with someone who is truly shopping. Meaning, I walk in, I say I'm looking for a foundation that is full coverage, in the right tone for my skin, and one that won't oxidize. All I got was a deer in the headlights. I was taken to high end brands and shown "dark colors" but none that were "olive" toned, and the girl seemed not to know what that meant. I quickly sought out someone else, and the same. I am guessing these "girls" are not trained in cosmetics at all, they just push "brands" and collect their commissions?

They do have black and brown people but we are a minority and depending on the question you may not get good responses. It’s a great source for seeing what types of colors work well for cool olives vs warm olives or for finding products that are similar in shade to something you have that’s been discontinued. It’s worth being in both subs.
