This Sephora is placed in JC Penny's. I do not shop at JC Penny's at all. To me this location is fairly small, but it is very clean and pretty okay stocked whenever I randomly walk past it. I usually go to the Sephora at the JC Penny's at Serramonte mall, but I am glad I went to this one today.
I went into Sephora not really having a direction to what I wanted to purchase. The only available associate that I ran into was the beautiful Geli. When I walked up to her, she was finishing up on making a sample for another customer. She smiled at me and said she would be right with me, and to have a seat at the mirror station. The mirror station was very clean and well organized.
Geli approached me, and said, "Hello!!! How are you? My name is Geli, and what can I help you with today?" I explained to Geli that I am taking headshots tomorrow, and I am in search for a very light and natural looking foundation. She was very thrilled to help me with my search, and she explained to me how her foundation was powder and not liquid. I couldn't believe it because it looked so natural on her face, and she quickly introduced me to the product. Before introducing me to the product, Geli got a special gun to match my color properly. After scanning my cheek, forehead, and chin she accumulated the perfect powder for me. She also introduced me to a very soft and amazing moisturizer. Geli put the boscia clear complexion moisturizer on my hand and told me to rub it all over my face. After applying the moisturizer, she picked up a clean brush and started to swirl the brush into the powder foundation. She informed me the proper way to apply the powder was to shake it a little, swirl the brush on the top part of the powder, and to slightly tap the brush on the edge of the container before applying to my face. As she applied to my face, the powder begin to come on smoothly and very lightly. The powder left my face looking very bare as if no makeup was applied. After applying my foundation, she took it a step further by contouring my face, as well as, adding blush and a little highlighter to my cheeks. Geli was so welcoming and well taught how to apply my makeup that I wish I could of had her do my makeup fully before attending my headshot photoshoot for tomorrow. Great customer service is so hard to come across, and I'm glad I asked Geli for her help because she gave me that in more.
In conclusion, I am pleased with the outcome of my makeup. Geli was well trained and knowledgable of every product she applied to my face, allowing me to know which products cause wrinkles, will keep my makeup looking fresh all day, and will not break out my perfect skin complexion. If you visit Sephora, please go in to see Geli! She will make you feel so comfortable, give you her honest opinion on what products work best for whatever you need, and make sure you leave out of Sephora with a smile on your face. read more
