Make Up For Ever

Thank you Holly, I know I should be wearing makeup and you made it so fun and easy for me to choose natural looking makeup and put it on ! I got three compliments today on how good I looked, I will be back. Thanks for helping me and for being so understanding.

I love the products but unfortunately the customer service is AWFUL. I was helped by the manager, holly, and I was extremely disappointed in her attitude. She didn’t help me find what I was looking for and acted like she didn’t even want to be there. I am a pro MUA and I have been to store before and it was fine but in all honesty she has an intimidating personality and I left the store not only empty handed but I also felt like an idiot. I was explaining to her the way I use the flash palette and she kind of rolled her eyes and told me that was not the correct way to use the palette, instead of showing me a new way to use it. After that she completely disregarded anything else I had to say, like I wasn’t worth helping. I thought of calling the next day and speaking to the manager, but unfortunately she was the manager, I couldn’t believe it!!! The boutique is so beautiful and can be overwhelming and I think there needs to be a manager that is friendly to all customers. She needs to learn to listen and not be so rude. I will no longer be going to the Dallas boutique and I will order my products from the NYC location.

Love the lippies and eye colors! The makeup has real staying power, and the managers Holly and Laura are awesome to work with!

Amanda and Laura did an excellent job on my makeup for my engagement pictures! They were super nice as well.

I stopped in while at Northpark because I love their smokey extravagant mascara. I got a sample at sephora almost a year ago, and I have been hooked ever since.
We were greeted right away by January, and she did not hesitate to show a gift set with the mascara at an amazing price. My friend who had never tried it before even bought one too.
They offer classes during the week to teach techniques, but also do make up application for a $ 60 purchase. That is the same as MAC, and some of the make up artists there have worked at MAC. The company is really big on training.

I took a class here and although it was fun, was disappointed in the lack of techniques taught. If I had no idea how to wear makeup, I probably would’ve walked away looking like I clearly didn’t know how to apply makeup. Application techniques taught were minimal. Besides my eyebrows looking crazy at the positive confirmation of the teacher, I did like learning the technique of applying foundation from middle outwards and emphasis on buffing.
My advice is to not skimp on color suggestions because 3 of us had different colored skin and yet were told to all wear the same blush, bronze, and lip colors — not great looking on all of us.
I was happy though to discover the HD Foundation, it felt light, almost like I wasn’t wearing makeup and looked great.

I went into Make Up For Ever for the first time the week of my wedding. I needed help with learning how to make an east-​asian style eye makeup for my rehearsal dinner and I first went into Nordstrum for help. I thought that sense it was a Japan that maybe someone working that station could help. The man representing Sheseido basically said he couldn’t help and suggested I try Make Up For Ever.
I thought the store was like other make up stores, like Sephora, and so I went in and asked for help with creating that eye style. A super helpful girl, Brittany, helped me immediately. She sat me down and said for me to find a picture and then we would make it together. As she was working she explained to me more about the store and how it has a focus on education.
Brittany explained how the artists are involved in continual training throughout their employment in New York and Paris. I value this aspect of the company because of the important of continued education in all professions.
At the end of my visit she had created the look I wanted. I set up a time to come back the day of my rehearsal dinner to have my makeup done by her fully and bought many of their products. One thing you should know about Make Up For Ever is that when you get a product demonstration, you typically need to make a purchase around $ 50, and when you get your full makeup done, you need to make a purchase in products around $ 60.
Though going to Sephora is nice because the artists can show you makeup and you don’t have to buy the makeup, it is also great to have your entire makeup done by a professional and not pay him or her the $ 60 directly, but instead can walk away with $ 60 worth of makeup from Paris. :)

I was on vacation and knew one of my stops had to be at a free standing MUF! First off, the customer service went above and beyond what I expected. I have acne troubled skin and they were able to find my perfect color and a great coverage without feeling like a heavy mask on. This was a first for me! Any color eye shadow you can think of they have! They aren’t like MAC, where some colors you have to build. This is because they have the highest amount of pigment that the USDA allows in cosmetics. Any color lipstick you are looking for they will have it, or be able to make it there. They even carry a pro-​line that you can only buy at MUF stores that includes special effects make up! I can not explain how awesome this store is and what a gem Dallas has since they’re are only a few free standing stores in the US. Lastly, they have classes there multiple times a week for anything you would like to learn about! I wish I could of been there long enough to attend one of these classes, If you live in the Dallas area, take advantage of this store! I

The only thing more incredible than these cosmetics is the amazing artistry by Holly Jo– she NEVER ceases to amaze me with her makeup skills and patience to explain to me the science behind all the cosmetics and her awesome techniques! I drive from McKinney to see her at Northpark and I HIGHLY suggest you all do the same!

This shop is absolutely amazing! I went here for the first time recently and wanted to say that the shop was very nice and clean and the staff was incredibly friendly!
They are really helpful in showing new products and definitely amazing at teaching proper techniques in applying makeup!
The one thing that stands out most to me about makeup forever is the fact that they also specialize in prosthetic and theatrical makeup application.
I’m giving this shop 5 stars because of all the wonderful things they had to offer compared to some of the other top makeup brands.

I’m a pro in the Dallas area and have always loved the make up for ever products. Their products photograph beautifully and always stay on. Anytime I go into the store I always work with Charlie, who is extremely talented and friendly! I try and make sure he is there when I go in because I don’t want to work with anyone else. I have referred so many clients and other pros to Charlie specifically!
However the last time I was in there, (Charlie wasn’t there) there was a guy with glasses doing a face chart and didn’t even greet me, or even get up from the table. There was another lady with dark hair sitting in the back eating and yelled at me «hi, how are you?» I was kind of stunned, I would have rather her say nothing then yell at me from across the room. I walked around for awhile looking at the products I needed for my clients.
After looking around, I was greeted by a cute redhead, Jamie. I guess she had just come in or something. I was so pleased with her and her knowledge of the products and she showed me so many different ways to use the flash palette. I bought the palette years ago and never knew how to properly use it. She offered to sit me down and do a quick demo on me. As much as I LOVED everything Jamie showed me, it was quite frustrating because she kept having to leave to help other customers. She was so sweet and apologetic about it. The tall girl, who yelled at me, came over and started recommending other products, which I found completely rude and inappropriate, where was she when I needed her help in the beginning? I ended up buying everything I needed for my client and then some, haha.
I love make up for ever products so so much, but I will not shop in the store unless Charlie or Jamie are going to be there! And I suggest the same for anyone else as well.

I’m a makeup artist based in Chicago, and to use my MUFE Pro-​Membership, I have to order by phone from one of their boutiques (MUFE, please open one in Chicago already!). I’ve never been to this location, but their associates have been AMAZING to work with over the phone.
I previously ordered from the Manhattan boutique with mixed results — the employees were impatient, unwilling to offer recommendations when the products I wanted were out of stock, never sent purchase confirmations, never returned my calls, etc. I began to think this was the price I had to pay for a pro-​discount.
That’s until I tried this Dallas branch. After the NY shop was out of stock for a sculpting kit I needed, I tried this store and had an entirely different experience. The associates here are super helpful, and have been every time I’ve ordered since. From Dallas, I received my order carefully wrapped inside a complimentary makeup bag with a hand-​written thank you note for my purchase. I have never gotten these extras from NY, AND I received it a full week sooner than the NY package I purchased that same day.
Every order since has been just as great. Sometimes it’s free shipping for no reason, sometimes they recommend a value size I didn’t know they carried. This last time, the salesperson recommended a website to get a great deal on disposable mascara wands. I always get a prompt order confirmations and return calls, and I’ve never once felt like I was putting them out. This is now my go-​to branch, and if I’m ever in Dallas, I will definitely make a trip to work with them in person.

I went to Make Up For Ever to have them show me how to contour properly. Cassie was great. I loved the tips she gave me and the make-​up looked great. I purchased every product she used. What I was disappointed about was that I wanted to write down all the tips and tricks she showed me but I was told not to worry, they would provide written instructions before I left the store. As I checked out I saw the cashier put paperwork into my bag which I assumed were the written instructions. I didn’t look at it until I got home that night. There were no written instructions AT ALL that documented Cassie’s tips/​tricks, only a drawing of a face with marks indicating the area’s certain products should be used. Unfortunately, half of the products I purchased (that Cassie used on me) weren’t on the diagram at all. So now I’m stuck with $ 150 worth of products that I don’t know how to use. I will be returning my items. I suggest the next time a Make Up For Ever customer wants to document the «How To’s» let them, don’t tell them you are going to provide written instructions and then not do it. It was a waste of an hour plus the time it will take me to go back and return the products.
