I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Benefit Cosmetics (Milton Keynes, England) in Apr 2014
Interview
Step 1) Interview (easy) and passed this stage
Step 2) We were taught about a few of the products and how to apply them, then applied them on each other. I felt like they didn't really pay any attention at all to our skill or understanding when applying the products
Step 3) We had to go out onto the sales floor and get potential customers to sit down and try some of our products. This was really hard as it was a very quiet Tuesday morning and there were about 5 of us. We were told to make bodily contact with passers by and tell them (rather than asking them) to sit down. I found this really hard as it seems intrusive and I would hate it if a sales assistant touched me!
I applied online. I interviewed at Benefit Cosmetics (Cork) in Oct 2025
Interview
Quick to reply. Very helpful while being so professional. Quick to process you to the next round. The video interview was very handy instead of travelling to the interview on stage 1.

Question 1
To do a makeup application on myself which was really interesting but a great way to interview for positions like this.

it’s not an interview it’s an audition , you’ll get asked to go to a boots and they will give you info on the best selling products and get you on to the shop floor and you will have to get a customer to sit down and try on the products , you share your product knowledge with the customer and the company are looking to see if you can sell
