This, I thought, is the true meaning of Sephora. This is war — and war paint, the armaments of beauty, needs to be available, stat! There is no time to sleep or bathe, but there are products to correct the damage.
- Wilson, NYTimes
An article like this is what makes me question the beauty industry and being involved in it at such an introductory level. At the same time, I have to read it with precaution as this writer obviously has no clue what the makeup world is REALLY all about. She trivializes Sephora and its employees into something no better or different than a Disney store. While I don't defend all Sephora employees - many of them really don't have a clue - I don't agree with her notion that these people are all brainless party animals who are resorting to makeup by default.
Those of us who appreciate makeup for its artistry should not be lumped into this. Even if you are working at Sephora, if you're truly passionate about your art, you'll surely get out of there and learn some valuable information in the process. If you're one of the people that Wilson is referring to in her story and your main concern is covering up hangover eye bags, I have no words for you.
