After speaking to someone they told me i need way more experience than just school and no one will hire me im confused about whether this is true and what i should do????Should i work for a beauty counter.?
yes.. work at a makeup counter.. u will be asked to do a demo makeup before ure hired.. so practise and keep 3-4 different makeup looks in mind for your demo to really wow the people hiring youShould i work for a beauty counter.?
You will get great experience and learn a lot, just make sure you work at a counter that you like the makeup line. the down fall is that you might get stuck working there without ever doing anything else and it's a really boring job if you do it full time. cuz most of the time you will stand around doing nothing. try to get a job as a freelance makeup artist for any of the makeup lines. then they will just hire you to do the makeup.. you wont have to touch money or work for the store and you get paid more. it's a better job. i worked for Chanel as a freelance makeup artist for 3 years in NYC. It was great, every six months they give you $500 in makeup of your choice and all you do is show up and do makeovers. That's the job you want. So go to the counter and as the manager of each counter if they are looking for freelancers. Tell them you are experienced, that you do weddings and headshots or else they might not hire you. And you have to go to every single store to every counter manager. It's a tough job to get, but if you keep trying eventually you'll get the job. Just make sure if they test you that you are fast and do a good job.
Why can't you do it? Do you have experience working on other people? If you don't, practice on all your friends and family so that you do have a little bit to show for yourself. A cosmetics course may help you as well. Be confident and energetic in your interviews because that is a big factor in a company hiring an employee.





Good Luck!
just go and sleep
