My demo was a tad bit different so I'll share it while it's still fresh in my mind.

I went to the counter with my cousin (my model) and there were two other girls there for the demo interview. The assistant manager gave us a run down of the sanitation procedure and then she said that the manager would come to give us our scenario. The manager told us that we'd have 20 minutes to do our demo. Yeah ONLY 20 minutes!!! Within that 20 minutes we had to get all our products, sanitize everything, and complete the make-up demo. She told us that our model was new to MAC and was going to meet with her boyfriend and his parents for the first time. She said to be sure to remember the current trends.

I rushed to get everything I could and started doing the demo. I introduced myself to my model and started with her eyes right away. I explained to her why I was started with her eyes, because it's easier to clean up the fall out without retouching all her foundation, and explained to her every step I did including what brushes I was using. I did a neutral look for her. I used Nylon e/s as a highlight, Jete e/s (Danse) on her lid because it was neutral but it still had the color to add to her look, I used All That Glitter e/s in her crease, Sable e/s on her outer third, and Carbon e/s outer v. I explained to her that she could make Carbon a very dark an intense color or she could make it very sheer to just add depth to the eyes. I did it very sheer on her because of her scenario. I lined her lid with blacktrack but in a rush I skipped lining her lower lashline.

I then applied Strobe Cream to her skin for a moisturizer and explained to her how important it was to use a moisturizer. I told her that often I wear Strobe Cream alone if I don't put on any foundation. Then I applied PP Face and told her how it evens out her skin and adds a layer between her skin and her foundation. Then I applied her foundation and set it with a powder. I used Sunbasque blush on her and showed her out to apply it.

I lined her lips with a lip combo from Danse, I forgot exactly what I used for this.

I just had enough time to spray some Fix+ on her before time was up. Then the managers come up and asked me to tell them what I did. I made sure to break everything down as much as possible and tell them every single product I used, why I used it, and the purpose of it.

They asked me if I could do anything different what would it be. I told them that I wanted to make the lips a little darker and I had to skip putting liner on the lower lashline so I could finish everything else. They said that's the only recommendations they had but told me that I did a great job for the time I had. Hopefully they ment it and weren't just being nice haha.

They went to go talk to the other girls and told me to just hang out. I took that time to put everything back where it was supposed to be and make sure my station was clean. Throughout the demo I used a lot of tissues haha. I used them to place between my hand and her skin and to wipe off all the shadows and blush and all that stuff. I made sure to throw away everything after I used it.

They said that they'd give me a call after the weekend madness was done so now I'm juse waiting. So I guess not all demos are the usual 30 minutes! :-\ Hopefully they realized the time crunch.
