There are products that I want to try from some high end brands, like foundations and such, and I really want to have a sample to try at home before I splurge on the full price. When do you think it is reasonable to ask for samples? Should I buy some products first or not? Thank you!

If there's a product you know you want then buy it and ask for samples at the same time. if you don't want to buy a product still ask for samples. say you want to try them out and youll be back to buy what you like. these people work off commission and will be happy to take care of you.

Thanks so much Faith! I'll keep these tips in mind next time I go to a counter!

I always wonder the same thing! And how should you get color matched by foundation- do you go in not wearing any make up?

They can do it on your face or even on the back of your hand so you can wear makeup.

Ya. Don't ever feel like you shouldn't ask for samples, especially if the product is expensive. Better to be absoloutly sure about a product them spend 60$ and hate it
