Ok everyone I would really appreciate your advice and tips.
Basically, I've been put forward to work on a beauty counter at a department store and have an interview next week to get their approval.
This involves a few customer service questions and essentially giving me the once over and making sure I look the part.
I'm quite nervous as essentially I'm just a spaced out, dizzy, grunge kid and used to working for independants and chilled out creative people.
I really really want this job as I am very passionate about two things in my life, music and make up. I've wanted to work for this brand for a while and I need to look immaculate.
Can you please help me advise on how I should dress? Hair, general appearance. Theese girls are always immaculate and I consider myself to be worlds away from that polished, groomed look. I've been told in advance that I'm perfect for the role bubbly, talented etc I just need to be ultra smart.
Has anyone worked for as a make up artist for a department store before? What should I be expected to look like/be questioned about?
This would all help. Thanks a lot.

well you'll need to look sharp, no grungy clothes and make sure your clothes, hair and makeup are perfect.

as for dealing with the customers....usually *****y rich women. so learn to bite your tongue even though inside you want to scream!

So would you say hair up to look more professional and tidy?
I'm going to have to go the full hog on this one...maincure, fresh highlights, suit etc.
Bloody hell! Welcome to the real world hey?!

Those women always look like transvestites. Maybe you could check out some of the local gay bars or butt **** cabarets and get some tips.

They might come across a little *****y at first, but it will be good practice for the ****s you'll be dealing with on a daily basis if you get the job. ****, if you've spent any amount of time on this festering, extroverted anus of a website, you should already be seasoned in the ways of ridiculous ****ing chivs and eyeliner-wearing **** beaters.

Hokey Doke. I'm ready for my close up!
