Most of the time it's free. The only thing about makeup counters though is that they use the same products over and over on different people. I saw a few news stories where they looked into it, and there is so much bacteria, skin cells, and worse in the makeup they use. I would try to find samples of the products to try at home.

Sometimes, Yes. Ive always had my makeup done at the Estee Lauder counter --at Dillards they wanted me to buy two items or more, at Macys they expected nothing. I know clinique doesn't charge and im not sure about the others. Usually they like you to buy something since they work on commission.

Sure, they'll do it for free. When I went in they had advertised in the paper that the Clinique reps would be there to do it , and sure enough they could not have been more helpful. They gave me a great look for work and for the evening. If you buy everything they recommend, you could easily spend $300.00 just for your daytime makeup. I've been really happy with the line since I don't even need to touch it up during the day. And if you don't like what they do, don't buy. You have no obligation to do so. Have fun!

They'll do it for free, especially if you tell them you're interested in buying some products. It's only the teens that come in to get makeup done for proms and dances and stuff that make those stores sometimes charge - but if you're a legitimate customer, it should be free.

It depends on which counter you go to. At most counters, including Clinic, you are required to buy a certain number of items or spend a certain amount for them to do your make up. Unless you hit a nice girl or some kind of promotion, you will most likely be paying.

Those makeup counters will paint you like a drag queen. Clinique is great and is worth the money spent. Ask for some samples. I highly reccomend it!

no, it's complimentary, but of course they expect you to buy atleast one product. You should go to the Clinique counter during "bonus time" bcuz you'll get a lot of extra makeup free if you purchase something. their website will tell you when bonus time is. www.clinique.com

It's free, but it's generally considered a nice thing to do to buy one of the products they used on you afterwards (they are paid on commissions, and their starting salaries aren't that high). But, if it's for a special occasion, they're usually totally happy to do it for you without you needing to buy stuff along with it. Just tell them about it and what you're looking for lookwise, and they'll have fun with it.

Most major department stores will offer you makeup for free to try, and will work with you to show you the best ways to wear it.
