First step at becoming a MAC freelance artist?

[erica_1020]

Mind you I have no prior knowledge in the makeup industry but I love MAC and I attended my 1st technique seminar at the mall today It was great! I didn't even know they were having it I just was there and happened to get in because some people didn't show up. I am like their biggest customer so I don't know why I didn't know this I was just there last weekend shopping. Anyway, the pro artist was a guy named Casey and he was super nice and down to Earth. We had to buy a $40 giftcard to use on products. I ended up spending $84 and have the #188 brush on my wishlist now. I got: Strobe Cream (hope I like), #266 brush, Blacktrack fluidline, and Bamboom paint. I hope I like everything. If you're wondering why I didn't get shadows, well I think I am finally getting all that I need FOR NOW

you need to fill out an application and write freelace on the top, also speak to the manager n tell them what ur intentions are and if they r hiring, etc

Do a search/check out the FAQs section.

if it's in a store, you need to put in an application with the store. and then take a resume in to the MAC counter manager and they should be able to direct you from there

at least, that's what i did and they offered me a position

I know this sounds like a silly question, but do you have to have experience when you apply or do they train thier staff. I'm new to all this so excuse the ignorance lol

They want you to have at least basic knowledge of make up application.

oh, well i kind of have that then. As long as I don't make anyone look like a clown I'm safe!

But practice alot because you will have to do a make up demo in front of a trainer or manager.
