I find buying makeup here a pain in the you know what. Any shop you go into has all the sales girls caking on makeup from the samples. Once they finish that they will generally ask you if you want something. Makyage in CC is the worst, they tried selling me the Nouba foundations for dark skin, and you would be surprised if you saw me cause I am so white I practically glow in the dark. Funny thing is, if they give you super crap advise (i.e telling you a shade of foundation 4 times darker/lighter than your tone is right for you) there is no liability for them, and forget an exchange or refund like back home.
