What would you suggest to someone who’s currently an undergrad who wants to work in the cosmetic industry? How did you find out about the job you have now? I am surrounding with chemists who have been with the company for 10+ years, launched magnificent products for MAC, and are still working for months to develop the next best thing – being in the presence of that itself is a treat for me. SEEING PRODUCTS MANY MONTHS BEFORE IT HITS THE COUNTER!Įmployees are given an appreciation bag of goodies, but more than the physical items, I would say working in the small R&D Lab has given me more exposure and opportunities than I had imagined. As a millennial, it’s easy to see the power of social media and what factors really influence consumers to purchase a product. To be a successful global company like Estee Lauder, making consumers of the over 15+ brands it owns is tough – but a challenge I would like to be a part of (well to start off at least…with MAC). Marketing is something that intrigues me, just because there are so many aspects to it. I am also taking the initiative to learn as much as I can – attending vendor meetings (effects of new raw materials), and attending workshops to improve personal skills like public speaking, time management, and more! I am definitely interested in the Product Development or Marketing side of this fascinating industry.īesides your own job, what other interesting jobs do you see within the company? After more experience, I hope to take on new products that have never launched before.ĭo you see yourself moving around in the company? What sort of position would you like to be in, if not this one?Ĭurrently my position has given me a lot of knowledge about the world of cosmetics at MAC. Fragrance changes, fading opportunities, new colours – all must be re-tested. There are many tests that the products must go through before it launches, therefore I observe stability of various products while keeping a record of results and any issues that arise.Īs I am just under a year with Estee Lauder (which, by the way, owns MAC), I am currently assigned to shade extensions which must be released within deadlines. I am working on launching shade extensions of existing products. I deal with third parties to launch products through MAC. I am a Lab Technician for the Outside Vendor group at the Canadian Innovation Centre. How long have you been employed in the cosmetic industry?

I love lipstick and all, but never ever once imagined myself working for MAC Cosmetics. Honours Science Degree – B.Sc at the University of Waterlooĭid you want to work in the cosmetic industry? What was your education and work background before your current job? I think her story is a great example of what hard work, putting yourself out there, quick learning, and dedication can achieve! A friend who works in the Research and Development team at MAC Cosmetics was kind enough to speak to me about her experience working at the company.
