How to work for MAC in the UK

[glam8babe]

how can you work for MAC in the UK?
would i need to go to makeup school?
could i just make a really good portfolio and apply?

im so confused theres like tonnes of different ways to do it in the US as i've read on here but the UK seems abit more less strict if you get me?

I think the UK is more strict, didn't it just come out that they're only accepting applications from people who have finished MU schooling?

omg rlly :| well thats kinda crap because most of the makeup schools are in London and i live all the way near Newcastle theres NO makeup schools here

they advertise positions on Estée Lauder: Job Listings you do a 15 minute phone interview then they pass your details to the area manager who contacts you.

There are some make up courses on offer in Newcastle, failing that there are many make up counters to get experience on first... I got my first MAC interview a year and a half ago by getting to know the manager in Fenwicks, letting her know my interest but she also knew I worked freelance and was qualified because I was always in there buying stuff for shoots etc

The best thing you should do to clarify specifications is to call them up. Don't be afraid!! I would call the Pro order line.

EEEH, I live in Newcastle too, do you go to Fenwicks or Metrocentre House of Fraser to fuel your MAC addiction?
