Can Mac Makeup Hire For Seasonal

Where can i get my makeup done at?

You can hire people to come over to your house and do your make-up for you. Theres always the option of going over to a salon which you know does make-overs and they will do both hair and make-up there. But you could always try at department stores where they do free make-up demonstrations to show you what looks best on you.

What type of makeup foundation should i get and where can i get it?

Merle Norman Cosmetics.... go to a store and have them do a free make over, they will go over different foundations, ways to apply, cover up techniques, seasonal colors and the all important cleaning techniques.
Not sure if you want to spend the $$ then ask if you can have a sample to take home, wear it a few days and see if its right for your skin and life style.
A good shop will be more then willing to help you and explain things to you and different ways to fix different problems.
Merle Norman also has a fantastic return policy and a great track record for their superior products.
Its deffinately worth the time and $$ (depending on your region and foundation choice can be from 20-50 dollars).

What is a "MAC cosmetics freelance makeup artist"?

I just finished a Marketing Essay on MAC and found that $45 dollars is the average amount spent per person per visit. And the average amount of products bought (even after the customer only intended on the purchase of 1 item) is 2.6 God, i live overseas where MAC is more then double the price then in America, so whenever i get the chance to buy in the US (which is only usually once a year) i like to stoccckkk uppp. Which is about $200-$300. I dont even want to think of the total worth i have. Its terrible!

Do they hire men at mac cosmetics ?

of course they do!!!

There's nothing wrong with a guy selling makeup!
A lot of guys are better at doing makeup than most girls...

I have 3 mac's around where I live and I know for a fact that there are guys that work there!

One of the big mac's even has a male makeup artist.


Don't think that just because your a guy, or not gay you can't do makeup.
haha i'm not saying that you're gay or not, i don't know you that well!


But if you're good at makeup and you have a passion for makeup, why wouldn't the hire you?

(:
go for it love!

And no, you don't have to wear a full face. Just something, even just some foundation or powder will work(:

How do you get hired at M.A.C cosmetics?

I used to work at M.A.C
No you done need any training. You need to be good at make up thought.
They themselves seed you to classes and training seminars.
Your pay rate depends on location, as with all jobs experience.
Yes you can be eighteen and work at M.A.C
Holiday seasons are the best. They need extra help. If your good they keep you on full time.
Use brushes! When applying any time of powder even foundations use powder.
If you use dark metallic and light bases.
Practice on friends or yourself so you can achieve both dramatic costume style make up and flawless natural make up.
yes it pricey but use M.A.C. make up you will then better understand it texture.

Can you work at MAC Cosmetics without make-up artist experience?

Typically the answer is no but there are exceptions. First and foremost if you have the "look" MAC is looking for. This is a beauty industry and women buy cosmetics from women they want to look like. If you look like a girl other women would kill to look like then yes they will consider you. They will also consider you if you have an exceptional personality that instantly draws people to you and they see you make friends instantly. Another trait of a successful counter artist.
If you get through to the interview round you will have to pass a makeover test. You will have a model that you will be asked to do two looks on. They will not give you the full MAC line so you must use what the Master Artist or Manager has laid out for you. Many times it's not their most popular colors because they want to see how creative you can get with blending, mixing colors, and working with various artistry mediums. You also must pass an eyelash test. You are timed on how fast and flawlessly you can apply false eyelashes and incorporate them into your total look.
Some managers will require you provide a portfolio if it's a large volume market to prove you are worth the makeover interview (which is time consuming for both parties).

Honestly, I don't recommend someone cutting their artistry teeth at a MAC counter. It's high volume, high stress, and if you haven't worked a counter before you may not have the full skills needed to quickly and perfectly move through the number of clients you will be asked to work on.Also, they do NOT train you in artistry until you've been there for almost a year so you better be as good as the other girls from the get go.

Also, you need to get sales experience. If you miss your sales goals you are fired. While you are selling makeup it's really a sales job. You do use your artistry skills to encourage people to buy but you must also possess excellent sales skills to close the deal.

If this is your dream then don't let me discourage you but use this info to help you be prepared to get all the way through the process (takes about 2-3 weeks to get hired). If you have the skills i've mentioned then GO FOR IT!! Even if they give you a no, you can always go back and try again later. :)

What's your favorite makeup brand and why?

E.L.F. (Eyes Lips and Face) is my favorite makeup brand. I am allergic to most other makeup brands, or the makeup simply slides off my face. But with E.L.F. my makeup can last roughly 10 + hours with out touch ups. I use the Clarifying Powder, and occasionally concealer (I tend to break out around that time of the month) Brightening Eye Shadow, and either E.L.F. Studio Blush, or Natural Radience Blusher, whichever is available in store at the time. I love it, I highly suggest that you try this brand. And at $1.00 to $5.00 dollars, it is HIGHLY affordable. Hope this Helps!!!

Does MAC have a make-up school to train you to be a make-up artist?

Unfortunately not.

All she did to get hired was... complete beauty school (not an expensive one either)and then put in an application with her local MAC counter (we don't have any 'mac stores' around us) at Macy's. I'm not sure but its doubtful they can will hire you without school training, you learn all your starter skills and sanatation skills there.
i think you can go to macpro.com and see if the school you want to go to gets a mac discount.

Once hired MAC does send you to training every... quarter i think, maybe it was 6 months, to improve your skills and give you the inside scoop on new products.
She also got a lot of new products before they hit the market. She was always saying how she met the guy (yes usually a guy) who does this celebrity's make-up or that celebrity's... so i think there is some potential to make a name for yourself.
You have to be REALLY good though, remember mac has stores and counters everywhere with women (and men) who are are doing the same thing to try to get famous (or just make $). If hired, your store manager will have you do face-charts and make-up for them to pick apart and try to improve you.

Hope that helps :)

MAC.............Fix plus!?

I work at a Cosmetics Company Store in northern California. Any CCS outlet will be your best bet if you want lower prices - and they'll always carry seasonal, back-stock, and discontinued items (at my job, for instance, we have a pretty good amount of the Fix+ Spray right now). Just remember MAC's foundations and concealers are oil-based, so if your skin is prone to breakouts, you're better off searching for something else. :P
