The interview process wasn’t too bad! In the one I had I did both a makeup demo and sit down/traditional interview. I was a bit nervous about the makeup demo, but they gave me a look to do (mine was a colourful daytime look) and allowed me to collect products around the store to use during the demo. They provided me the model as well!
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Sephora (London, ON)
Interview

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Sephora (Montreal, QC)
Interview
You'll get a first interview on the phone as an initial screening, then a group panel interview where they look for the candidates that stand out, followed by one or two more one on one interviews and a followup demonstration of your makeup/skincare skills where they mostly look at your customer service skills.
TLDR: 4 interviews, one demonstration.
