When Sumaya Khan answered a job posting for MAC Cosmetics in London, the law student had no idea how it would turn her life around. As she entered through the doors, she wasn’t even sure she would get the job; after all, she didn’t actually know much about makeup at that point. She was just looking for work, and having seen the posting, among many others, she had signed up, not even expecting to be called in.
“The interview was a nerve-wracking experience” she recalls. “They started quizzing me about skin tones and makeup shades, and I felt like they were speaking some different language. Luckily, there was a practical test as well, where I had to apply makeup. I must have done something right because I got the job.
