For some reason I woke up thinking about it today. I don't really understand why this offended her so much....she's got a decent book and has obviously moved beyond the retail world by taking those shoots. All I was saying was that I wanted to be a professional makeup artist, not stuck at a counter forever.

I was just wondering what you all thought about retail artists...do you consider them real makeup artists or just someone who has gotten a job at a makeup counter for the hell of it?




PS: I didn't feel this was just for people working at retailers so I put it in the regular industry discussion, but if you must, feel free to move it to the sub-forum.

I understood what you were saying.

Sounds like someone may have some self-esteem issues. Either covering up intimidation or in need of parting ways with a high horse. Maybe she's ultra defensive because of all the heat Mac MAs get...especially with this boycott going on. Maybe she's a Mac-Bot...

To answer your question, I think it depends on the person.
