well, i don’t know if this helps at all, but i worked the clinique counter at macy’s and it was only 8-9 dollars an hour plus commission on sales. nordstrom’s is probably not too far off.

a lot of my paycheck went to cosmetics lmao. first bills, then everything went to cosmetics. so it can be fun working there but be careful because being around all that will get into your system and will never leave you, you will be in love with all that fragrance and makeup. it’s fun.
good luck!
