Jcp Sephora? Ulta? Just trying to up my game
jçp sëphõra•don’thaha kind of true but I have lifted there successfully once before and known someone who lifted there frequently without trouble, so it’s not impossible, but that being said, a very large portion of caught stories comes from there, so unless you’re very comfortable, I’d stay away. anyways my techniques for makeup are all pretty much the same so this applies to ülta too (though ułta is easier IMO, and they don’t have dedicated LP at one store all the time)
basically I don’t get the totes unless they’re offered to me because I feel way more sus with them because like?? if I’m just looking why would I have one?? unless I’m holding a lot I won’t have get one because I feel sus just piling shit in there, and LP will watch if you do
so this is WITHOUT a tote
one of my main methods is sleeving things which I haven’t been able to do bc of hot weather, which is why I’ve slowed down a lot on makeup (and also that time I almost got caught in sêphöra six months ago lmao). but if there’s a rainy day, you can slip stuff up the sleeve of a raincoat, for one, or if it’s colder wherever you are, then you can do with the same with a light jacket or sweater
the phone method is a classic that I’ve used a lot lately! pull out a lipstick or single shadow or something, slip it into your palm under your phone, pull out a few more and put them back at different intervals to make any cameras confused about if you still have any, then walk away and slip your phone and the item into your pocket/purse when in a blindspot
classic lightning conceal is a trusty tool, if not a slightly riskier one because there’s no mistaking what’s going on. find a good blindspot, then conceal your item as fast as humanly possible. you can also try to make it subtle—e.g. reaching to adjust your hair and dropping an item into a hood. whichever is your preference
for the most part I rotate between these. it’s mostly geared for smaller items just because I don’t have the balls to lift anything like palettes, but they’ve always been effective in my experience. the one time I was almost caught was because I was seen concealing since I was wearing a jacket I hadn’t practiced with beforehand, like a proper dumbass. practice before you go so you don’t jamble the item in your hand long enough to get seen like I did that once. that shit’s terrifying, and makeup really is the hardest thing to lift, so be careful
