Girlfriend can't apply make-up very well

OP: There's a place called Nue Blue Eriu in Dublin - can't for the life of me remember the street but they've a website. They're not the cheapest but they do massages, facials, waxing etc and can also give your girlfriend a makeover. They're really friendly and their products are fantastic.
I think the problem with the people at MAC is those lights in BT's. You can't match any colours under them. I always try to get a sample that I can take home and try out in normal light.

If it was me i would like to be told! It sounds like all she needs is a different type of foundation or different colour, thats nothing major!!

If you are getting her a make-over voucher i would stay well clear of MAC. I find thier artists very pushy and all make-overs feel rushed. Also the MAC counter in BT is so cramped and people passing just gawk and stare at you!
Mac foundations are crap also.
There are plenty of other make up counters to choose from. (ive tried Benefit, Clinique & Bobbi Brown, all were excellent!)

I'm a qualified make up artist (although I don't work as one) and I'd recommend treating your girlfriend to an INDIVIDUAL one-hour lesson with a qualified professional who can devote time to seeing what different looks suit your girlfriend. They won't have an ulterior motive of trying to push a product on you either so you will get honest advice. Some of the best people in the industry work here, if at all possible try and get Lynn from MAC
