MAC Makeup Artists are an integral part of the MAC philosophy. MAC’s co-founder, Frank Toskan, said, “I don’t have the luxury of communicating with my clients, so therefore my salespeople are the link between my philosophy and their customers.” The company doesn’t train their employees to pressure the customer into a purchase. Instead, they are encouraged to act as a resource and artistic consultant for the client. I disagree with this phrase...I'm sorry to say. I am an experienced makeup artist. Graduate of the Joe blasco makeup artist training cEnter and i have worked on movie sets. I have continuously applied to work at MAC Cosmetics in all locations both MAC stores and the cosmetic counters and I hate to say they all refuse to hire me because I am "not qualified"!!! NOT QUALIFIED???? Yes, they said and I quote "since I have never worked in "sales" then I probably won't be able to work for MAC because they look for people with sales experience not makeup artist experience". So I am very disappointed and sadden because I thought that my background in makeup artistry would get me hired right away but unfortunately it has not!!! I have always dreamed of working for MAC, sadly I have yet to be hired (part time and/or full time) at any location in New Jersey. Makeup artists and sales people are hired based on artistic talent.
