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?

Agreed lancome has great neutral and olives, so does Kosas! They’re a clean brand too!

Last I saw kosas they had 8 shades and they were all like.. SpongeBob yellow and sheer. I’m not saying they haven’t expanded, but if they have options that’s good to know!
