OK, so it's PROM SEASON!!!! If you know, like I know, it's extremely difficult and equally…read moreimportant to have an amazing makeup artist. I'm old school, so I grew up on M.A.C. Lipgloss and Ruby Woo. Last year, I struggled with finding the right makeup and had zero luck with a makeup artist for her junior prom (if you don't remember, reference my previous reviews). This year, I told myself for senior prom I would find the perfect makeup artist to assure everything would look fantastic for her high school grand finale. I called two days prior (I know, so much for preparation, right?). I was advised that though they were booked, there may be a chance for securing an artist via walk-in, so today's later, we crossed our fingers and toes and moseyed into the M.A.C. in Emeryville. We were greeted upon entering by the makeup artists who were all diligently working on clients as well as multitasking assisting customers with locating desired items and checking out. After perusing the store, I was approached by the store manager, Matthew, and I explained to him that I was advised to arrive between 2-4 p.m., that I was hoping to make a purchase and have makeup applied for my daughter's prom. He did inform me that they were fully booked and that we likely weren't going to be seen; however, he did agree to check the schedule. Luckily when a previous appointment was a no-show, Matthew asked how soon I needed to leave and explained to me that there would be frequent breaks as he assisted customers, but if I was accepting of the terms, he would service my daughter. Matthew was friendly, communicative, informative, and professional. Truthfully, I can't say enough about how positive and empowering this experience was for my daughter; she was properly matched, given both skincare and college advice while being included in the decision-making process. Matthew did a phenomenal job! My daughter was happy and I myself was grateful and throughly impressed. My daughter applied her lashes herself at home as it was her personal preference. We received so many compliments on her makeup and walked away with items recommended and used to create and possibly recreate the look. Since I've posted her pictures online, friends and teammates have reached out to hopefully secure a makeup appointment for themselves at the M.A.C. store in Emeryville. We will most definitely be returning customers as we have quite a few special events coming up as we prepare for her high school graduation. Helpful Tip: Call in advance to secure an appointment especially on the weekends.

The WORST makeup experience I've ever had! Phillip was extremely rude from start to finish, and…read morethat in itself was shocking due to the fact you could tell he was "pretending" to be courteous. But when it's not genuine, it's always transparent. I should've read the reviews first; I would've avoided this location. I don't understand how he is the Store Manager based on these reviews showing a clear history of rude behavior and dissatisfied customers, but perhaps MAC doesn't care about their clients. When I arrived to the store, I had the unfortunate experience of Phillip doing my makeup. He listened to NOTHING I asked for and wanted in a look. And it was clear he wasn't a good artist period based on his techniques! My foundation was orange, the liner around my eyes was crooked, horrible blending, clumpy mascara, and creasing around my eyes. I told him repeatedly I didn't like the look, and each time he made it worse. He had no idea what he was doing! I ran out the store, fast, which is why I didn't get a chance to take any pics - and ran over to Sephora to wipe the garish 80s drug addict-prostitute makeup Phillip gave me, and it was there that a real, talented makeup artist gave me the look that I wanted...and it was there that I spent my money on all products she used on me. Avoid this location and avoid Phillip at all costs!!

I've been having allergy issues with lip products from big name brands (e.g., Lancome, Clarins,…read moreIlia) and found that they all contain red lake dyes such as CI 15850, etc. A big problem is that almost all lip tints use synthetic, red lake dyes for red and pink colors. After an extensive search, I found 100% Pure offers multiple shades of deep to bright red, purple-red, and light pink in lipsticks, lip glosses, and lip glazes! Most other brands can only offer red lake dye-free products in nude or clear colors. I was beyond stoked! And I found out that they were having a really great summer sale--items were 30%, 40%, or 50% off based on my receipt! One of my favorite things about this brand is that instead of products that taste like plastic, wax, or some other unknown substance, all my products actually taste like fruit, which is great given that they advertise being made of fruit juices and natural oils! The shelf life of their products is, of course, significantly less than other products that have preservatives, but honestly, I'd rather have cleaner ingredients and a shorter shelf-life. The store in-person had all the items that were out of stock online, too, which made my shopping experience that much better. I picked up a total of 7 lip products all in different shades and textures, which no other brand was able to offer me in that quantity for that quality. -- Additional things to note: - the store seems very hygienic: they have a sink where you can wash your hands, offer clean brushes and new, disposable lip product wands so you can try everything without using the wand in the tube, alcohol sprays, sanitizing sprays, tissues, etc. - the items that weren't fully red lake dye-free said "may contain", which doesn't necessarily mean they fully use it, but I didn't want to risk a reaction, so I steered clear of them anyway. - they have samples of everything--you can play around with literally every product and every shade! - dog-friendly (they even give treats!) - the location of the store is in a somewhat busy area, but if you scour the blocks, you're likely to find parking (pay by ParkMobile). I found a spot right in front of the store, and parallel parking was so easy into this spot because the road wasn't super busy. - they offer services, such as facials - the worker (I should have got her name) is so kind and won't push products on to you or make you feel rushed. I was in the store for a good 45 minutes at least, and she checked in once in a while, made herself available, but wasn't pushy or frustrated with how much time I took or how many products I sampled. -- I tried the Cocoa Butter Matte Lipstick in Winecup, Fruit Pigmented Lip Glaze in Elderberry, and the Fruit Pigments Lip Gloss in Pomegranate Wine, and none of them gave me an allergic reaction all day when I usually get a reaction within 30 minutes from other brands. Thank you, 100% Pure!
