A few months back I really pissed off this girl on Model Mayhem. In my profile on there it says:
I also work for MAC Cosmetics, but am by no means a "MAC Girl". I wish for much more than a retail "artist" position.
She wrote me, flipping out about how she is a MAC Girl & damn proud & how her paycheck & her kit look so great, blah blah blah.
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.
