    May be a stupid question (Demos)

    I'm just wondering if when hired through HR to work for a counter like Estee Lauder or Clinique do you have to go through the same demo process as you do with MAC? That is bringing in a model and making them up. I don't really seem to see many people talk about it with too many companies other...

    Do You Change Colors in Foundation

    Depending on what product you use? For instance normally I'm a NC45 but today I wanted to try the Studio Fluid and the MU gave me NW43 and said it's normal to change between foundations because MAC doesn't stay true to it's color system. When I got home I looked at it closer and it looked kinda...

    Seminar Questions

    What are some good questions to ask at a MAC Pro Seminar? Upon sign up we're required to submit at least 3 questions and I can't come up with anything. What're they most likely to talk about anyway? The MA told me she'd just mostly discuss brushes ... ???

    I Just Don't Like It When MAs ...

    Get way too excited about selling the product. I always mumble "Oh God ..." under my breath when I approach my counter and the only MA available is the "excited" girl. I'm so happy that she's willing to help, but she's SO willing to help. In a way that she follows me around the whole time saying...

    Advice On Retail Experience?

    My dream is to make a career working for MAC. To start at a counter and work my way around to different areas. I thought it would be great to start at a different cosmetic counter to gain some experience since I don't have much, but I applied at quite a few department stores and while they said...

    Are Japonesque Brushes Good?

    Hey guys. This is my first thread I've ever made, but I'm a long time lurker. Anyway, I'm really getting into makeup as an art and want to take it seriously and become an artist. To perfect my craft I feel I need better tools (just using Studio Basics right now) When I was first introduced to...
