I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Benefit Cosmetics in Mar 2023
Interview
The first stage is an online application. The second stage is a video interview - I was sent a link and questions popped up and I was given a time to answer questions. I was then invited for a video audition in which I was asked to bring a couple of make-up items to showcase how I would apply foundation, blush, mascara and brows. It was laid back and Isabelle made me feel very comfortable asking questions as I was applying my make-up it all felt very natural - I was asked to sell my mascara to see how I would describe the product and ask open ended questions. Finally I was invited for a store approval - this was around an hour and asked questions based on my previous experience and knowledge of the brand.
