Job Interview Questions: Is it appropriate to where dramatic makeup for a job interview at a makeup counter?

The makeup line is known for it's dramatic looks and colors. The person I dropped my resume off with said she loved my makeup. But would it be OK for the interview? Or should I stay conservative?

Recommended Answer:
It depends on the counter. If it was for something like MAC or Illamasqua, then sure, go for drama. If you're going for something like Clinique, do something clean and refined looking. Just research the company and if you can try to use a couple of their products just in case they ask. Good luck!

Tips to a Job Interview Presentation to Impress Your Hiring Manager

• well they aren't hiring you just because you wear their makeup. be simple and natural, clean and professional. you want the job, not to bribe them into hiring you because you wear their makeup. if you get the job, that is the time to wear the dramatic makeup, not during the interview. no, it is NOT ok.


• If you can go halfway (some bright but toned down and very skillfully applied), that may be better for the following reasons:
  
  - if it isn't the person that took your resume that will interview you, their tastes may be different
  
  - it is still an interview and you may meet other people administrative people so staying on a slightly conservative edge will please everyone
  
  Good luck with the interview.


• Well, since it's for a makeup counter job, and the brand likes dramatic looks, i say go for it. If it were in an office, then definitely no! But it's a job for a dramatic makeup brand, so, once again, yes, you should.


• i would play it safe and tone it down a few notches but still show you can do more than apply-you can apply certain looks and techniques while still being professional. that will really impress them if they know what theyre doing.


• If it's a brand like Sephora or MAC then yes!
  Every chick that works there has ot on tons of make-up because it's a MAKE-UP store.
  The better your make-up is, the more impressed they'll be!

• Well you're applying for working at a make up counter...so I say yes, it's okay. Maybe they'll be impressed by your makeup skills!


• i think you should wear a daytime smokey eye or something more natural, and then maybe during your interview ask if it is appropriate to "go all out" with your eye makeup


• Something unique is good :)
  dont go too crazy


• Go medium. Not so natural bit make a statement without SCREAMING! You know?
