Woman dissatisfied with expensive makeup artist's work

The makeup artist, known for her premium services, failed to meet her expectations, leaving her frustrated and dissatisfied with the results.

While taking to her TikTok account under the handle @fuelthedream, the woman shared two images in which she compared her makeup, which was done for R600, to the one that was R1050. In the comments, @fuelthedream shared her experience, describing how the makeup didn’t live up to the promised standard despite the hefty price tag.

The lady also told her viewers how the whole experience "ruined" her day. The post quickly garnered attention from others who have faced similar disappointments with high-end beauty services.

All things makeup

While speaking to Briefly News, Benedict Muzembe advised individuals on the importance of undergoing a make-up trial before a big day.

"Yes, it is highly recommended that people always conduct a cosmetic trial before to their wedding day. This is an essential part of wedding planning since it lets you try out several styles, makes sure the makeup artist knows your preferred appearance, and helps you avoid any surprises on the big day."
