I looked into a job helping search engine website which helps you look for specific jobs in certain areas. So I looked into indeed and found a job review of YSL make-up artist.
After this I found a forum/search job link site called glass door which I found a London make-up artist job;

I decided I was going to send my cover letter to the first job as it can include my make-up skills as well as my retail experience. The job was the benefit part time beauty consultant this would help also for if I went on to do my BA.
I firstly looked for an example of a retail cover letter so I could help and a guideline of what it should contain and also add aspects of my make-up experience also.

I feel from this cover letter as I would be applying online I wouldn't include the companies address. And for the layout of the cover letter to be more suitable for the job my introduction would have the same start. But my next two paragraphs will have how I have experience to with make-up and retail experience qualities to meet the job criteria.
Benefit
Swindon
22 February 2015
Dear Sir or Madam,
I’m writing this cover letter regarding the
position as a beauty consultant at Benefit in your Swindon store. As this role
would be perfect for my suitability and was happy to find this job available.
In the details of the job role, you have mentioned I feel this job would be
perfect for me.
Firstly I have been trained as a make-up artist more
fashion and day makeup since 2013.I started off professionally from doing a NVQ
level 3 media make-up course. I am furthering on my skills in the industry as I
am on my final year of HND media makeup at University. I have always been so
interested in make-up and benefit is one of my personal favourite brands of
current day. So this means some of your products I know about already and I am
qualified in applying make-up to customers for testers or to help out if they
need any recommended products for a specific customer.
For the retail aspect of this job, I have worked in all
different types of retail since 2012. This shows I have gained a lot of sale
techniques since starting off. I am a confident worker with having high
customer satisfaction rates. I also have excellent customer service and am very
experienced with cash handling. From starting my retail experience from working
in a salon alongside doing my hairdressing course, I have learnt product sales,
meeting customer’s needs, meeting product sales scores and bringing in new
customers as well as keeping regular customers happy. I have always worked in
retail as a team because this helps the company run smoother and I am very good
at helping my team members out if needed to get things done more efficiently.
Furthermore I also know about health and safety regulations in store and
towards make-up and customer care.
Thank you for your time, Hope to hear from you,
Yours Sincerely,
Charlee-jo Davis
My cover letter could have had more details specifically of the experience in make-up instead of the courses I have learnt to become a make-up artist. So that they would know about my main skills of applying foundation, eye make-up( cat eye to a smoky eye look), ombre lips and even contouring.
Also the improvements could have had more lists of skills need that was mentioned in the brief of what the role job includes.
The parts I liked about the cover letter of which I kept it formal and included the main details of why I would be most suitable. I included the main details with enthusiasm.
