Some important things to know for the interview – I will list some senior artist instagrams at the bottom of this post. I was also advised to look at MAC senior artists. I’d research current make-up trends and fashion shows that MAC worked on (which is roughly 30% of fashion shows globally).
I’d go on the MAC website and read the product descriptions and look at what the latest collections were. This is when I found this blog by Zoe Newlove This blog helped me SO much! I researched everything Zoe recommended and then some. Research, research, research! I can honestly say I never researched so much in my life! At this point I was searching the web for any advice I could find on applying for MAC. I applied in the March and got a call in the May and was invited to a formal interview! I have to say it was THE longest wait of my life, but totally worth it. Before I applied I did this quite a lot and even more so afterwards. Popping into store regularly gets you noticed but remember to be noticed for the right reasons. Oh my gosh!! I just applied for MAC Cosmetics! What do I do now? What I did next was shopping… at MAC. I was given so much amazing advice and encouragement it honestly helped me so much. So, I got in touch and after many conversations (mainly consisting of a million questions from myself) and a little push of encouragement I was on the road to applying. My brother knew someone who worked at MAC and insisted I get in touch. But, what I did have was someone to push me. Confidence is key and at the time just before my application, I didn’t have an awful lot of it. When are you ready to apply? Only you will know the answer to that question. I don’t have any earlier as I deleted them through embarrassment ha. Pictures- My first face paint- Two Face to most recent on the right, eye looks from 2014/15 to 2017, the shall we say my ‘glow up’ 2015 to 2017. Although this wasn’t your regular Makeup it definitely helped me with my skill. I’d mainly post pictures of Makeup on myself and friends but then I ended up delving into a whole other kettle of fish and started face painting. I started practicing make-up on myself and then plucked up the courage to make an Instagram for everything makeup related.

Knowing what I wanted to do was easy but how to get there was the challenge. Confidence played a big part in that but I also felt like I had ZERO make-up experience apart from doing a part time diploma in theatrical make-up artistry.
For many years, being a makeup artist let alone work at MAC seemed out of reach to me. Rewind to two and a half years ago I was working as a shift manager at McDonalds but all I wanted to do was work at MAC. Stay tuned for my MAC application journey and lots of advice and tips from myself and MAC artists from around the globe ? My application journey Since working at MAC Cosmetics I have been asked on a regular basis how I got my job and what advice I had on becoming a makeup artist. *All opinions are strictly my own, this content is personal.* Image- How to get a job at MAC Cosmetics?
