Some questions about a portfolio (to anyone who has submitted them, or knows what to submit): Should the pictures of the women in your portfolio of them made up naturally, creatively, or a mix of both? Also, should I do before/afters, or just the pic of the makeup done afterward. I was thinking of putting together a portfolio (all the girls in my dorm are dying for me to do their makeup anyway, lol), and was thinking before and afters might be cool. Do you think that is a silly/bad idea?
Also, I know MAC looks for retail experience. Is it a must? I’d rather not have to get a job in retail before applying, but I will if I must. I worked as a grocery store cashier for two years in high school, and while it’s not technically retail (no pushing products), a TON of customer service was involved. I dealt with people every second on the job, and trust me, it’s not easy keeping everyone happy when someone has 17 items in the 15 item and less line. It takes some people skills! LOL What do you all think, would that be enough, or should I look for retail positions first?
About a resume: Are they necessary? Does MAC look down on you if you don’t have one? What are they looking for in your resume? What kinds of skills/experience should I emphasize?
Thanks for all you’re help you guys. I know I’m asking for a lot of info. Any little bit helps however
