When I decided that I wanted to apply for a job at M.A.C it was a little less than a year ago. At this time I had plenty of retail experience but not much with makeup and I know a year is a long time, but the time was definitely necessary. In the summer of last year I enrolled in an open course at London School of Beauty and Make-up. I also joined an agency working in the temp beauty department for different brands (mainly Chanel) to gain some experience working in a make-up orientated surrounding and that is what filled the time.
In April, I decided that I was ready to start applying for permanent roles and of course, at the top of my list, was M.A.C. I will say now that receiving my position as a make-up artist was an opportunity I was so incredibly lucky to have because I initially applied to be a cashier. I figured with my retail background and the recent experience I acquired in make-up I could successfully get through that application process. But one thing led to another and I was offered the better position of MUA. If you want to know how it happened continue reading. Xx
