Can you help me find the foundation? It needs to be beige. I think the last color I had was beige. Can you help me find that? Yeah, so I'm looking for a lip gloss, but it can't transfer. You got that? I have such oily skin that oil rigs can actually work upon my face. So what's the most glowy foundation you have? I'm looking for the best products you have in store. My budget's $20. Wow, I love your makeup. Just don't make me look like that. I like my foundation to be a little brighter. Can I have the shade that's 20 shades lighter than my face? Wow, that's a lot of makeup. I could never wear that much. I have to buy a makeup remover to remove my makeup. I think you're just trying to show me things. What is the best one out of the 50,000 lipsticks in the store? What is the best one? And whatever one you suggest, I'm not gonna choose. I'm going to my daughter's wedding. Where can I find the blue eyeliner? Is this like a nude? I'm here to return this foundation because it sucks. Did I do skincare underneath it? I don't do whatever that is. This product is shit. I know I came up to you and asked for help, but I don't need your advice. Why didn't you make me look like Bella Hadid on the poster? Yes, I'm 65 and I've never taken care of my skin, but are you even a makeup artist? Does this anti-aging serum not erase my wrinkles in one day? I'm gonna kill your whole family.
