Tips to be a Beauty Advisor

Becoming a successful beauty advisor takes a lot of practice and certain skill.

Instructions
a Genuine Smile
Self-esteem
Understanding of Colors
Really Supportive Shoes







1. The first step to being successful is customer service. You have to provide outstanding service to every customer that comes into your department to be able to establish regular customers and build your popularity among them. The next step is probably the hardest. Your store will set certain goals for you to meet with your cash register. The cosmetics cash register isn't in the front of the store were the customers are used to checking out so you have to constantly walk to the front of the store and back to your cosmetics register all day to get people to check out with you.

2. You must meet or exceed these goals or you will constantly be talked to about the importance of the goals and eventually let go of the position.

3.  The red zone includes all of your cosmetics, shampoos, lotions, soaps, razors, deodorants and hair dyes. Your register is usually placed in the center of all these products so that you can fully watch everyone in your department. The store wants you to reach a certain number of sales on your register, but it wants you to catch all the red zone sales on only your register. The goal is usually around 41% up to 50% of the sales on your register for red zone products. It's very hard to catch the customers with red zone products because a lot of them want to pay in the pharmacy or the go to the photo department to pick up pictures and pay. Step four closely follows step three because hidden in your red zone are many items that earn you commission. The commission rate varies on the different products and can be as much as 5.00 per item but most are between 5% and 10% of the price the item is sold for. If you can be lucky enough to make 10.00 extra dollars a day, you will have 100.00 extra dollars on your paycheck if you work a five day work week. The extra money really adds up and is a huge incentive at meeting your red zone sales by getting customers to come to your cash register. The final step in being a successful beauty advisor also includes you making sure your department is completely put together.

4. No one wants to buy a dusty shampoo bottle or a defective pump hairspray.

Perfume Scent

We may be around people who do not like the perfume or cologne we are wearing. Let's discuss some perfume etiquette tips that will certainly help solve this dilemma, shall we?.

When someone applies too much perfume or cologne, what you smell is a fragrance, and not their signature scent. Your perfume scent should not make a statement by itself. Applying perfume or cologne should be done in a way that allows the fragrance to interact with your body chemistry to produce your personalized version of the scent - your signature scent.


Etiquette Tips

One of the secrets of having proper perfume etiquette is learning where to apply the perfume or cologne so it interacts with your body chemistry without disrupting the environment around you. If you make people sneeze, that probably means you applied way too much perfume. Please refer to our How To Apply and Wear Perfume page located on the right blue panel.

Be very careful when applying perfume or cologne on your clothes. Even though your garments will hold on to your perfume scent, they can also get stained.

Perfume And Cologne Scents Tips

Accessible and affordable has not been traditionally related to perfume and cologne. You can now afford to create your own fragrance wardrobe: a collection of perfume or cologne scents to match your lifestyle, events and moods.

Match your scent selection with the time of day, time of year and purpose. Day and summer fragrances should be lighter than evening and winter fragrances. You may have your favorite work fragrances and your very effective dating fragrances. Isn't it great that you can have a collection of perfumes or colognes to choose from?

History of Cosmetic



The first archaeological evidence of cosmetics usage was found in Ancient Egypt in the year 4,000 BC.
The Ancient Greeks and Romans also used cosmetics.

The Romans and Ancient Egyptians, not realizing their dangerous properties, used cosmetics containing mercury and white lead.

Fragrances, particularly frankincense and myrrh are mentioned in the Christian Bible: Exodus 30: 34, Gospel of Matthew 2:11.

Ancient Egyptians had a wide extent of make-up utensils. One of them is kohl, which was used to outline the eyes. It is made up of lead, copper, burned almonds, soot, and other ingredients. It was believed that eye make-up could ward off evil spirits and improve the sight. Even the poor wore eye make-up in ancient Egypt.

The production of cosmetics during ancient Rome was usually done by female slaves called Cosmetae.
