Question regarding salary at MAC

[iamgrape1119]

I got a job as a freelancer for MAC, but we didn't talk about how much I get paid for each event..Should I wait and ask her or should I just ignore the problem until I get my pay check? usually how much does MAC pay a freelancer? is it usually less than the full time MAC artists?

Did you sign a contract? I imagine your pay should be included in that.

I haven't signed contract yet, but she already promised me the job.

Estee Lauder Corporation Freelancers usually get in between $17-$22 an hour, and your rate is determined upon experience. That's all I know

Honestly, talk with them when you are about to sign your papers. They are the only ones that will really know your pay rate.

That's very true! I am a freelancer (not for prescriptives) and make much less than $17-22 an hour! It also depends on your region and how much cost of living and minimum wage is in your area! Congrats on the new employment!

BTW, I worked part time at BBW when I first started freelancing, but I was working on my esthetics license which I now have, so now I work in a spa and freelance less. BBW was good though because they like to work you in 3 hour shifts also, so I would work 3-5 at the counter and 3 at BBW and be around beauty stuff all day!
