Thank you so much!!! I appreciate your kind words! Okay, so the verbal interview was a group interview. They asked a few questions: 1. Introduce yourself (name,age, where you are from ) 2. Why do you love makeup and when did you start? 3. Where do you want to take your career to? (Behind the scenes, travel, celebrity, runway) 4. If you could describe yourself in one word, what word would it be? 5. On a scale 1-10, what would you rank yourself? 6. What are some positive and negative things you have heard about MAC? 7. What do you see trending in pop culture? Verbal interview: They give you 6 brushes to work with. They switched my model with the girl sitting next to me. They gave us a basic overview on how to sanitize the brushes and makeup we use. What they want to see is; Teaching the client new techniques and or product. Being clean!! No double dipping, sharpening eyeliner after each use! Clean the sharpener, clean hands every time you leave the station. Be clean! Consult with the client, ask what she normally wears and what she is and isn't comfortable with. They told me to deliver a natural look based of my clients preference. So once I consulted with my client and figured out more or less her style I went straight for the product to pick up the basics. Face Primer/Moisturizer Foundation eyeshadow palette (neutral) Viva glam lipstick Highlight and blush (I used the eyeshadow to deepen her corners of eyes and add a bit depth also to act as liner. Also used it for her brows.) Once I finished my look. Time was up! They had us clean up, properly. They came one by one asking our clients of they learned anything. Also, if the makeup look created was something they would wear. & done! Good luck!
