Re: MAC Interview

We already have several threads dedicated to this topic - since you are in the UK, this post will be merged with that thread.

Re: MAC Interview

Wow good luck! I have been working for MAC here in the states for about a month and it is the funnest job I have ever had! Dont do too much on your face. Make sure you wear all black. Make sure you blend, blend,blend....and do a lot of smiling! It took me about 3 weeks for the entire process of 3 interviews and one demo on my friend in front of a manager. I hope this helped

Hoping to apply to Mac in the uk!!

Hi guys, ive just joined specktra and this is my first post!

Im in the uk, and seriously considering applying to mac for one of their retail artist positions in London.
Im a little hesitant as I dont have ANY previous retail experience, but am certain that I could sell MAC products to anyone since I am such a huge fan!

I do have experience in make-up and have been freelancing for the last year,but am not sure if this will be enough!

Can anyone shed a little light on their requirements,and if there are any mac artists from london on here i would really looove your advice!

I'm afraid I don't know, but best of luck! What did they make you do in the demo? Mine is next week, very nervous.

Basically she asked me to do a day look and she stressed the day I didnt have to do a whole face,just eyes and foundation she wanted to see my interaction with my model and how I would treat her as a customer. I picked out colours for her eyes and a foundation, had 30 minutes to do it and all I can say is talk talk talk!!! during the 30 minutes she asked me quite a few questions, some that had already been asked in the previous interview?? Make sure you sanitise everything! she will show you their sanitising process for lipsticks and such. Thats it really its not to difficult just think everything through as you go along! Good Luck!!!

Ah thank you for this. It seems like most of the UK interviews have been doing day looks? I'm hoping anyway. Anyway thanks again and best of luck for you, let us know when you find out!!!
