At one point, they were called ‘sales representatives.’ Back when it was still uncommon for women to work, being a sales representative for a cosmetics company was a job for women could do that offered opportunities for independence. These days, the independence is the only thing that remains the same about the role – everything else has changed, including the name. Today, the direct sale of cosmetics is called Social Selling, and is an actual job that offers opportunities for growth and good pay.

How much beauty consultants rely on social media

Most of beauty consultants’ work is done digitally, and so it’s a good job for those who don’t want to have to travel to and from work every day. Success improves as your reputation grows, so if you’re already followed by a lot of people because of beauty-related content, you will of course have an easier time convincing people to buy products. But don’t give up too quickly if you’re still just starting out. Serious companies do not demand anything from you when you start out with them, and you can test things out without spending a penny. Since at this point social media success depends on activity, you should carefully curate your profiles. Put yourself in the shoes of a potential buyer looking at your posts, and try to make them as pleasant and welcoming as possible.

Choose a company to work with as a beauty consultant

It is essential to only agree to work with reliable companies that match at least some of the following criteria:

  • high quality products
  • no sign-up fees (never trust anyone who asks you to pay to work with them!)
  • longer term training and support
