Do you have to be a cosmetologist to sell department store makeup?

Im interested in working at the make up counters at the mall......do you have to have a cosmetic or an aesthetics lisense............how much do you make???????Do you have to be a cosmetologist to sell department store makeup?
Nope you don't, although you would get a higher paying job if you were. Truthfully most of the lines are far more more interested in your selling ability and personality than anything, and will train you for the rest.





It's salons that are most interested in cosmetologists. Plus the chain lines hire trained makeup artists to do special events. And it's been many years since I did any of this so no clue what the current pay is, but unless things have changed it's not especially high paying, although there are fun benefits with free makeup (the amounts vary from line to line). Clearly there's more money if you work in a salon where tipping is allowed. Think of a dept store job as any sales clerk position in that type store, but with the benefits mentioned!Do you have to be a cosmetologist to sell department store makeup?
years ago when i worked at the estee lauder counter, i made 6.00/hr plus commission. i think it depends what department store you work for. also you do not need a cosmetology liscence. they will teach about the products. they hold little inservices and occaisionally give you the products, because naturally, they want you to use their brand.
No, they will train you I believe. I have a friend who worked at the Clinique counter at Parisians when we were in high school. Her family was not rich, but not dirt poor either, and she always had the latest of everything. I don't know what her salary was, but she made more than I did working in the office of our local Winn-Dixie and I made 13.50 and hour.
no i doubt it
I don't know how much they make but I do know they train you. Had a friend who worked at Clinique and she did not go to school for it.
