Internship: Mid-Term Paper
Internship Site: Merle Norman Cosmetics (406 S Griffin St., Elizabeth City, NC)
Duties and Responsibilities: My duties and responsibilities include: Helping customers (when
needed) pick what product is right for them, what eyeshadows match what lipstick color, post
advertisements for social media (new makeup trends, how-to videos), put outfits together to post
on social media for their clothing and accessory line (All That Glitters), help keeping the store
clean (wipe down shelves, re-organization), inventory, clean makeup brushes (when needed),
help with brand image and try to bring in more customers “Diversity”. Overall, Crystal and her
crew has made it clear to me that they lack in advertising basically they need to reach more
customers and they would love if I could help and bring in more loyal, consistent customers.
1. The work that I have done so far at Merle Cosmetics has benefited me in my career path. This
experience has given me more confidence to not give up on my dreams. Before I started this
internship, I was losing hope (Self-doubt) my makeup never came out perfect or the fact that I
can not find my perfect shade. Mrs. Colson said to me that it is okay for it to not come out
perfect nor be your perfect match but if you mix colors or use a powder on top of cream
foundation I promise you, you will get the closest match and once I tried it, it worked.
