Does claire's sell good teen makeup, or stick to macy's ???

My 16 year old cousin is going to be a debutante in the cotillion. I'm in charge of buying makeup.





Is claire's makeup actually any good?? Macy's is very far but's its the only place other than claire's to go. Claire's is much closer.





Also she has dark skin like me.Does claire's sell good teen makeup, or stick to macy's ???
You can go to Macy's and buy, for example...Lancome products that will cost you an arm and a leg OR you can buy the EXACT same products at Walmart, Walgreens or any other discount store for much less. Lancome is the exact same product as L'Oreal. The names of the shades of each product are usually changed, but both ';brands'; are actually Lancome. There are actually only 3 major cosmetics companies that merchandise ALL of the well-known brands. It's done that way so that they can diversify their product placement options. It's very clever and it works. The people who faithfully buy their products are high end departments stores would never be caught dead shopping at Walgreens so they're happy paying the price they do because it's about status. The companies know this and they cash in. So, seriously, if you want a decent product, you can buy L'Oreal and get the same products someone else pays 4 times more for at Macy's.Does claire's sell good teen makeup, or stick to macy's ???
CLAIRES!it isnt runny or anything like that the first two people who answered this question are so wrong.i mean the other people are wrong TOOO! xx TOTALY IS WRONG THE MOST.macy`s is to expencive.
Claire's makeup is cheap. I would stick with Macy's and a more name brand makeup. I actually like Bare Essentials, it's a mineral makeup and makes your skin dazzle. I don't know if they carry it at Macy's but it's a really good value.


(It there is an Ulta Makeup store nearby they have a wider selection usually)
As a teen i would say stick with Macy's. Claire's make-up is not very good. It can be sticky, bright, messy, runny, and looks cheap when it is on. For a debutante you want the sophisticated look. Go with Macy's!
i wouldnt go to claires for makeup they are so cheapy, but htye have very cut accesories though but they are all expensive there.





id stick with macys or go to MAC
Stick to quality makeup for a teen. Teens skin is very sensitive from hormones and everything else they go through. I would stick to a department store and stick to makeup that promotes healthy skin. Like Clinique. MAC is great too, but for more mature skin in my opinion. Make sure that she is cleansing skin daily too, even before she applies makeup so that she is not clogging pores.
Does Claire's even sell makeup? If it does - you would probably only find makeup that is for pre-teens. As in brightly colored eye shadows and sparkly lip gloss.





For a more mature look, I would think that Claire's would not be the right option. I know that Macy's has wonderful makeup. If you bring your cousin in, they will find a great look for her and help you choose which things to purchase. This can get very pricey.





Is there are Target (or a similar store) near you? These stores offer a wide variety of make up, for all ages, at a much cheaper price than Macy's would offer.





I hope this helps, and good luck.
I would stick with Macy's, Its better Quality
stick with Macy's girl. clairs just sells little cheap make-up that doesn't last an hour. its for like little girls that want to dress up as their mom. if you want the good make-up for the cotillion then go to Macy's or jcpenneys they have a good variety of make-up and you'll be happy that you went there instead of clairs.
claires doesnt sell make up duh! they sell jewery...thats play make up any wayz if they do have any...try wal-mart!
