Did you apply for a specific counter?
If you didn't, I'm thinking they probably had you come in because they assumed you would be open for other available positions.
However there really is no excuse for them to mislead you in that manner. They shouldn't have told you the interview was for cosmetics, if it really was not.
That's a bummer tho, I can understand how it can be annoying. Try to apply again, but this time inquire with the manager for the counter you want to work at.
