  • There's a call out for M-A-C interview session, Do I need to wear all M-A-C on my face?

  • Can anyone answer me how long after getting a first interview did Mac call u back??

  • $15-$20 per hr

  • I had an interview with mac last thursday! how long did it take for them to call you back?

  • My phone interview today. Loved ur video.

  • ... your pretty . <3 :) !!

  • I GOT THE JOBBBB!!! HOLY CRAP I'M SO EXCITED!

  • YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL

  • My THIRD interview is NEXT WEEEEEK! I couldn't be more estatic! Can you please give me some pointers in what kind of questions i can expect in the third interview? I know you covered it briefly, but can you give me some more specific questions they asked?

  • I JUST had my demo today an I didn't watch this video before hand! =(

  • clinique offered me $8 hourly and 30% commission of sales. they told me it was average of $300 weekly. is mac the same?

  • @pugandspencer1 Lol not at all! At MAC, you have a guarenteed minimum hourly wage at $14.50 plus 20% commission. Your hourly wage is based on you experience and you sales quota, so you could even be making upwards of 18$ an hour.

  • Great video! I have my demo interview 2morrow morning and I'm freaking out! But this puts me at ease a bit. Thank you!

  • Hello, should I wear edgy clothes (like the employees)/ or more conservative regular interview clothes?

    Also on the questions like where to you see yourself in 5 years, do you wanna grow with Mac...What answers are they looking for? I really do want to grow in mac, move up, learn tons, and be a great employee and possibly move up, but do they want someone who wants to move up? At my Sephora interview I think it hurt me that I've had lots of management experience & had goals to moveup? Thanks!!

  • Hi there, I turned in my application, resume, coverletter the other day & they told me they don't do individual interviews, but have Mac job fairs, where its agroup situation. Then today I got a call, they want to interview me & they said I need to bring a model & do the look they select on her. I'm super excited and nervous, but confused that I'm doing the makeup application part of the interview on my 1st interview. Is that normal? they didn't say if its for freelance or a position instore?

  • @chachii66 As some one who does freelance and will be working for M.A.C shortly I will tell you this. Use proper spelling of words. Hello, I don't know,you,some,me,you,really,sc­hool,me,will,an,you,you,please­,thanks. There is NO reason be lazy. If you are this lazy with you're typing and spelling then you will be lazy with your job and no way will M.A.C hire some one like this. Ghetto fab is not what M.A.C permotes.

  • You dont know how helpful this was, girl, i would give you a hug and take you out on dinner, haha but this vid lets me know what i need, like i was planning to work a few moths somewere to buy ALL the brushes if i got an interview, now i knw i dnt need to take anything. lol but thank you so much, i mean it. XOXO.

  • If you go to makeup school would it be an advantage?

  • @emawannabe1 Yes it would be a huge one!

  • it was good thanks, but it was hard to concentrate on what you were saying because all i began focusing on was how many times you just said "UM"

  • YOUR FREAKING GORGEOUS! 

  • makeupplease at wordpress!

  • Loves it!

    makeupplease blog at wordpress!

  • Thank you so much for this video! I actually have my demo tomorrow for MAC and I am just going crazy not only in anticipation but it seriously is nerve-wracking! All I did was turn in my application and the manager asked to chat with me right on the spot and since she asked to pen me down for an interview I guess I was interviewed right there? But anyway, it is SO exciting and thrilling and you just have to have confidence. I looked like hell but I still managed to impress just w/ confidence!

  • i know you asked us not ask how much you get payed cuz mac asked not to discuss it but i was wondering if they off medical bennifits, payed vacation and all of that?

  • you have one of the prettiest skin colors

  • omg this is an awesome vid. i turned in my application at mac about a week ago and i havent herd from them...shud i call or show up?

  • I think that this video was very helpful. It was extremely kind for you to take the time to go over the interview process for Mac. I was thinking about applying there. I wish I found this video earlier. Due to the fact that I was going to apply when they were hiring two months ago. But, now I'm going to find something in my field. I graduate with my Master degree in August this year. God Bless!

  • This was so helpful! Ur a star. I hope to get a Mac job in the UK. Thank you for this info. xxx

  • Thank you for this video!!!

  • This was a helpful video ~

    Thanks ~

  • Thank u so much for this video!! Def helped a whole lot.. Is it super hard to get into Mac?and do u think true love and dedication will get me through?

  • ...lol don't be nervous! i had my mac interview about a month ago and i was so nervous i dropped my purse in front of the manager.. heehee... my process was not like your at all... i went in with classic mac-black attire & a very nice portfolio, she told me to come back with a model, do a "beauty look" in 25 minutes and i was hired! i took a freelance position bc i just wanted the job!... waiting for my paper work to process. : ) wish i wuda seen this b4 my int!

  • i have an interview tomorrow, thank you SO much, im so nervous.

  • Thanks a million....

  • You are just so beautiful. Thanks a million for your tips, just got through the initial phone interview, now just waiting for a date for the face to face interview at MAC counter. Nervous, but your post has helped....

  • You are SO cute!! I am interviewing for Bare Escentuals and the process is kinda like MAC's (I have to do the working cosmetic interview today) so it was good to get some tips/pointers. My DREAM is to work for MAC long-term (at least 7 years) but I won't get to try that on for size until I move to Denver where there is more opportunity. There is only 1 MAC counter where I live and its almost impossible to get on there. Anyway, thanks for the tips, you are a GEM!! :)

  • do they pay enough for a person to survive paying rent and bills?

  • @bellejohnson no not really because you make a good amount per hour but you get like 10-15 hours

  • It was so nice of you to do this video. Thank you! ♥

  • i was told by the women on the mac counter that you have to be a qualified makeup artist to work there..

  • what does "qualified" mean? MAC makeup artist do not need a cosmotology license.

  • well i'm from England.. we don't have "cosmetology licences" over here. you go to college or make up school, get your certificate and youre qualified. but like i said.. you have to be a qualified makeup artist over here to be considered for a job at MAC.

  • your so beautiful!!!

  • thanks for posting your interview process it was GREAT!!!! I was wondering abut the hours that you have to work. I sing and travel on the weekends like twice a month. Are they flexible and will they work with you, if you are willing to work other off hours(like work at night during the week day or open in the mornings)?

  • I was wondering if you could do a mock..interview..such as maybe having a picture and starting from proper sanitizing and maybe suggesting for sure products to grab during the interview :)

  • I think your a very sweet girl too tell people about how the interview go's that's really nice of you god bless u!!!!!!!!!!

  • When is the best time to apply? I went to a couple of counters and they wasn't hiring??

  • thanks for the tips=)

  • this was a very great imformational video thank you so much i never thought about workin at MAC but now i think i might give it a shoot thank you soo much!!!!

  • I got the job ! :) i start in 2 weeks ! cant wait.. they couldnt stop complimenting my makeup and they didnt even tell me anything that i did wrong lol

  • This is really good info. Thank you sooo much!

  • Lots of good advice! thanks! I really want to get a job there, maybe not for the rest of my life, but while I'm in school. I love make up, I hope I have what it takes because I do get nervous with people putting me under pressure lol. Do freelance artists get paid?

  • Hey LOOOOVE this vid must have watched it like a million times ha ha ... i got called in for an interview after i personally handed in my resume to the manager... she said she would be "conducting interviews this week" and wen i called her she said to come wednesday and wen she foudn out i had school that day she said to come friday and to dress in black.. do u think this means i'm gonna be one on one? and how should i dress? lol please help! thanks lovvvvvee ur vids

  • Comment removed

  • My interview went great!! She said she would call me Tuesday to set up the 2nd one. Im soooo excited.

  • Great video girl! I just have one question, I heard that if you work at MAC that you can't do makeup videos on youtube. Is that true? Someone told me that they say this because they don't want your opinions that you give in your videos to come off like they are the opinions of the company. Just wanted to know because I have been thinking about putting in an application and I make makeup vids on here. Thanks so much <3

  • Thanks!!! Just got called for my first MAC interview. Wish me luck!

  • I LOVE the round silver earrings in the beginning where did you get them?????LOVe your page just subbed :)

  • ...so anyways, after all that which took a total of about 4 hours (lol) I am scheduled to have another interview with the district manager next weekend, if she's back on vacation in time that's the plan. So I'm SO excited!!! It was so unexpected!!

  • thats good hun good luck I know you will get it lol

  • thanks girl!!

  • Miss Lauren, I just thought I'd have you know that the other day I met up with a friend of mine at the same MAC store I applied and turned down the interview. To make a really long story short, the manager who scheduled the interview for me was there and was like girl why did you cancel, your makeup is amazing! So right then and there she was like well since you have a model here I'd like to interview you tonight! I was ecstatic! I had a demo and oral interview and it went awesome! cont...

  • Nice... I just bought sea and sky... =)

  • I AM SO GLAD I FOUND U! LOL Thanks For the tips!

  • I want to apply at the only MAC counter here in Omaha,NE but I feel like Im not ready yet. I think I would do good just with a bit more practice, plus im bilingual which would give me bonus points haha. what do you recommened i do to get more help with doing correct makeup application?

  • dont know if you ever have to cover your tattos, but if you do....... do you know of a good tattoo concealer that wont get all over ma clothes. ty

  • ive never had to luckily! but i have on clients and i use POSNER concealer .. the consistency is very thick and it doesnt really smudge on clothes. also face and body by mac does not transfer ( not to sure about the coverage tho) Makeup forever total coverage concealer is a GREAT choice as well =)

  • thanks lawd i need it :)

  • wow so so helpful! impressive :)

  • thankyou =)

  • I really want to apply. I don't have any retial experience but damnit,my face is a living makeup advertisement. One of these days I'm going to just go for it.

    =) Thxs for the advice!

  • you need to stop playing Pretty, your makeup tut's are the TRUTH...they need more people like you and Bailey. I am tired of going to counters and stores where the artist is incompetent . Get in there girl and work your magic, anyone who has seen your videos will attest to what i said. GOOD LUCK HONEY!!

  • Thank you so much !!!!!!! =)

  • haha GO FOR IT!! ive seen you makeup too hunni . You def. qualify =)

  • Hi! THanks so much for putting this video up!

    I had a question I was hoping you could help me with. I went to a free standing MAC store and asked them if I needed experience to work there and she told me yes. So I was wondering if you meant that you don't need experience for regular MAC counters at department stores? Or freestanding stores too?

    I want to really start doing makeup, but I find it hard to get a job because I have no experience. Please help! Any advice would be so great! Thanks!

  • when I fisrt started i was told the same thing at a MAC STORE. you need experience to work there.. for a counter no experience is required. it's basically stages. You have to work at a counter before a store, and at a store before the PRO stores. Def go and try a counter first =) Goodluck

  • It was very nice of you to do this video. :) I am sure it will help a lot of people! Good luck lilpumpkinpie05!!!

  • Aww thank you! And yes it was real cool of her!

  • thanks ! =)

  • hey... we missed you!!! welcome back

  • Wow thanks so much for this tut!!!  Good luck to lilpumpkinpie05!!!!!!! Go get em' girl =0)

  • Aww thank you! :)

  • my pleasure =)

  • That was nice of you to do this vid for her, good luck on the interview.

  • Beyonce and Jay Z walked in there, you saw them?

  • I dont plan on working for MAC any time soon but if I ever wanted to - this is the place to be. This was nice of you to share for all the girls out there that would like to work with MAC :]

  • thanks girlie =)

  • Great video and right on time! I am a nurse, but want to do make-up on the side! I called the M.A.C. counter today and spoke with the manager and she was super nice1 She said that me being a nurse was customer service and that I could come in to talk with her and bring in my resume tomorrow! I am excited to start this journey! How should I do my make up to meet with her though?

  • YAYYY im so happy to hear that =) I say when you go in do noticable but light makeup ( if that makes sense lol) and go all out for the offical interview =)

  • what is the difference from a freelance artist and regular artisity

  • a freelance is bascially on-call when an employee calls in sick or they have an event then you would work., Reg. artists have regular hours, and are on the schedule. =)

  • Great video! That was nice of you to do. And good luck lilpumpkin

  • thank you =)

  • You really went through a process for your interview. Guess it depends on which MAC you're applying to. Where I am, I did the face-to-face interview and mock interview the same day. Had to do a day time look and then using only 3 products turn it into a night time look.

    Great video! Hope it helps someone. =)

  • dang girl i WISH mines was that easy lol!
