Beauty consultants sell beauty products and help customers choose which ones to buy. On a day to day basis they may talk to customers and recommend the best products for them, give advice on how to use and apply products, meet sales targets, keep up to date with new product ranges, monitor stock levels and re-order items, keep customer and product records, handle cash and card payments and much more. 

The main routes to get into this role are:

• A college course- there are diplomas which can support you in this role. 

• An apprenticeship- you could undertake an apprenticeship to support you in this role. 

• Working towards this role- you could get an entry level job and work your way up. 

• Applying directly- if you already have the key skills and experience you could just apply for this role. 

You could do an intermediate apprenticeship as a beauty make-up consultant.

This typically takes 12 months to complete as a mix of workplace learning and off-the-job study. This is dependent on the company and you will usually need to complete and pass an interview.
