Just because you\u2019re an amazing makeup artist doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019d fit in well behind the counter\u2014you also have to be an amazing salesperson!<\/p>\n\n<p>Stores like MAC, Sephora, and many department stores offer \u201cfull service\u201d makeovers. This is probably the kind of makeover you\u2019re most familiar with: the client books ahead of time, they pay for the makeover, and you create a full look for them, most often for a special occasion. This is where your makeup artistry certification and training will really come in handy!<\/p>\n\n<p>But chances are, you\u2019ll spend a lot more of your time on \u201ccomplimentary makeovers.\u201d Some stores, like MAC, require clients to buy a certain amount of product (say, at least $50 worth) to get a complimentary makeover. Even in stores that don\u2019t officially require this, it\u2019s expected that clients getting their makeup done will buy some of the products you\u2019re using on them (though be warned, not every client knows this!).<\/p>\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"377\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/shutterstock_99046490_ed.jpg\" alt=\"Makeup artist applying a client&#039;t makeup in store\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11739\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/shutterstock_99046490_ed.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/shutterstock_99046490_ed-300x168.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/>\n\n<p>During a complimentary makeover, you\u2019ll work with your client to find products that suit her specific needs and concerns. While you\u2019re applying her makeup, you\u2019ll share tips and techniques that suit her personal needs. Then you\u2019ll let her know what products you used on her, and help her decide what she should buy.<\/p>\n\n<p>And this brings us to the sale part of the job. The bottom line is that the company or store wants you to sell their products\u2014that\u2019s the way their business works!<\/p>\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Personality_Profile\"><\/span>Personality Profile<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>In the makeup counter world, sales is the name of the game! So what does it take to be a good salesperson? Well, being friendly and approachable is an absolute must. Clients are way less likely to stick around if they\u2019re not comfortable around you.<\/p>\n\n<p>And\u2014this goes without saying\u2014your communication skills need to be top-notch as well. Confusing your clients or misunderstanding what they\u2019re asking for definitely won\u2019t get you anywhere! You\u2019ll also need to be able to recognize what your clients are looking for, even if they haven\u2019t told you directly. Luckily, this is something that can\u2014and will\u2014be learned. For many makeup artists, retail communication is a whole new world!<\/p>\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"365\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/shutterstock_114223312_ed.jpg\" alt=\"Customer looking at makeup in a store\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11743\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/shutterstock_114223312_ed.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/shutterstock_114223312_ed-300x163.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/>\n\n<p>Companies are also looking for makeup artists who\u2019ll be good ambassadors for their brand. That means someone with style, product knowledge, and artistry\u2014all things you can show off during your interview to put yourself ahead of the game!<\/p>\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Getting_There\"><\/span>Getting There<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>Since we\u2019ve <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2015\/04\/working-for-the-top-makeup-brands-how-to-get-in\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">covered this<\/a> in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2015\/12\/what-the-top-makeup-brands-look-for-in-an-employee\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">previous posts<\/a>, we\u2019re going to keep this short. <\/p>\n\n<p>Basically, you\u2019ll need a good <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2015\/02\/write_the_perfect_resume\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">resume<\/a> to land an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2015\/02\/job-interview-skills\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">interview<\/a>. The interview process will vary between brands, but you\u2019ll probably go in for a series of interviews, during which you might discuss previous retail experience, show off your customer service skills and product knowledge, bring in your portfolio, and do a makeup trial to demonstrate your skills as a makeup artist.<\/p>\n\n<p>Wondering what you\u2019re in for? Again, not everyone\u2019s interview experience is the same\u2014sometimes even within the same brand\u2014but you can check out fellow MUA Jamie Smith\u2019s video on her experience <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2015\/03\/get-job-mac-makeup-artist\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">getting hired as a MAC makeup artist<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_it_for_me\"><\/span>Is it for me?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p><h3>The Pros:<\/h3><\/p>\n\n<ul>\n\n<li>Regular hours (no weird 4:00 a.m. appointments for you!)<\/li>\n<li>Steady paycheck<\/li>\n<li>Employee discounts<\/li>\n<li>Expanding your beauty product knowledge<\/li>\n<li>Some brands give bonuses to employees who meet their sales goals<\/li>\n<li>Lots of interaction with coworkers and clients (great for extroverts!)<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n<p><h3>The Cons:<\/h3><\/p>\n\n<ul>\n\n<li>Little control over how much you\u2019re making<\/li>\n<li>Pressure to meet hourly or daily sales goals (most brands have their employees working on commission)<\/li>\n<li>Focus on sales means less time on creating full looks<\/li>\n<li>Some brands have aggressive sales approaches that can stress many of their employees out\u2014so do your research before applying!<\/li>\n<li>Long hours on your feet and little time to yourself (not so great for introverts!)<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>Still not sure? Well, the best way to find out if this job is for you is to try it out yourself! And hey, working at a makeup counter doesn\u2019t have to be your full-time job, either. Lots of professional makeup artists\u2014even some who freelance full-time\u2014will pick up shifts during the busy holiday season. That way you get some short-term experience of the makeup retail world\u2014plus you get to earn a little extra cash!<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"cta\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Check_out_Part_2_of_the_Career_Series_The_Freelance_Makeup_Artist\"><\/span>Check out Part 2 of the Career Series: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2016\/03\/career-profile-the-freelance-makeup-artist\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Freelance Makeup Artist<\/a>!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Is a career as a makeup counter artist right for you?","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":29414,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"ppma_author":[432],"class_list":{"0":"post-11714","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-your-makeup-career"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) -
