I had my demo today and I don't think I did that well. For one, my nerves had complete control of me, and I could barely think straight. I ran from my 9-5 job straight to the counter, and I was antsy. The first mistake I made was not grabbing everything that I needed in the beginning...I kind of got things as I worked on different parts of the face.
My scenario was a busy mom that has 2 or 3 kids....I think that one of you had the same scenario. She wanted a nice everyday look, so I went with the "healthy glow" look from the Sci-Fi collection. My model was oily so I used the oil control moisturizer and went straight to matching foundation since I didn't have much time. I moved on to concealer, etc. Long story short I used Femme-Fi, Evening Aura, and Space and Time with Brassbeat eyeliner and Plush Mascara. I used Pro Longwear Lustre in Boss Brown for the lips, and I honestly can't remember what lipliner or blush color I used...still flustered I guess. I used MSF to finish off the look and add a little shimmer to my model's cheekbones.
The counter manager then threw me a loop and pulled out a bright blue eyeshadow...it was possibly Clarity (sorry I can't remember every color the demo was four hours ago and I'm so annoyed with myself). Anyhoo, the counter manager told me to use the color and find something else to add to the look. My model looked at me horrified and I told her that I'd make it work. I sort of shadow lined her lash line with the blue and blended it in and then I used Fluidliner in Waveliner. It actually created a nice "Hawaiian sunset over the Pacific" look. My model squealed because she really liked and a customer commented that she liked it too of course the CM was on the other side of the counter at that point.
At the end, she told me that she would let me know something by the end of the week. She said she liked what I did and that she couldn't expand more b/c the counter was so busy and she was the only one left. Henceforth the open PT position.....I feel like I didn't "Wow" her. I guess we'll see....but I don't feel like she was thrilled, and I know that I wasn't. I'm never good with timed "makeovers", if I get another interview... I guess that can be a weakness that I am working on.....
