Are you required to have any job-specific qualification if you want to work on a beauty counter like Clinique?

I love playing and experimenting with make up and before getting married I went for a free consultation. I loved being pampered then and would love to that for other people. To work for a make up counter such as clinique, no 7 or benefit do you need to have any qualifications in make up artistry of any kind? The websites don't seem to say one way or the other!|||No, it isn't required or necessary that you need to have a background in makeup or cosmetology . I know this because I am a Clinique Consultant. When hired they send you to classes for a couple of weeks, after you pass it's then on a quartly basis. There's certain tests that you pass to get your "clinique pins", etc. Now it IS beneficial if you know a little about makeup, and skin care. Even if you don't, it isn't necessary. They teach you all that in the classes. I knew nothing walking into it, and I've been there for 10 years now.|||hi there! you do not need to be a licensed cosmetologist to become a beauty consultant in a make up counter. The cosmetics company provide extensive training to their employees to become efficient, if not professional, make up artists. like for example MAC, when they hire someone to become one for their beauty consultants, they provide hands on training for them and provide books or manuals that they can use as well.





it wouldn't hurt to ask a beauty consultant in regards to this. i'm sure they will be more than happy to give you any information about application and all that other fun stuff! :)





good luck!|||well i think u have to be a graduated cosmetoligist, be able to figure what would look good on people


and a freindly people person
