Working for Cosmetics RetailersWork for or want to apply to a cosmetics counter or store? Questions about what to expect at your interview? Curious if a counter position or freelance is right for you? This is the place to talk about it all! From the MAC counter to Sephora to Cosmetics R&D, it's all here.
After glam8babe decided to apply, I got inspired to apply too.
I went to my favorite counter that I frequent. I talked to the manager and she was thrilled I wanted to apply for a freelance position. I have a demo on the 18th, but I will call her tomorrow for the exact time because she had an appointment waiting. The other girl working complimented my make-up. So my confidence is soaring. I can't wait to try out. I would love to work for MAC.
Just remember that there is a nationwide hiring freeze throughout the company so they might only hire you as a freelancer or they might just hold off until the freeze is over. So if you don't gets the position right away don't let yourself get discouraged. Blame it on the stupid freeze haha.
When you have a demo interview can you do any look you want or do they give you a look they want you to produce?
I talked to the manager and she said most likely a scenario. She gave me two scenarios that they usually do. She said she is not worrying about me though. She thinks I will do great.

Good luck though and keep us posted.
I spoke with the manager and she said the hiring freeze does not affect Freelancers in my region.
