What can I do to become a professional makeup arti

[slice2020]

Over the past 3 years I've been contemplating becoming a makeup artist. I have an extensive collection of makeup (all MAC). I've done makeup on friends and obviously on myself. The only MAC counter we have here is in Nordstrom and you have to do this one hour application that doesn't ask anything about my skills as an artist, just dumb "if you saw someone stealing would you;" questions. Anyone here a current or former MAC artist? How do I get into working at that counter? Is school really necessary? Any help would be awesome.
