If you enjoy helping people look their best, becoming a makeup distributor may be perfect for you.
If you love helping others look their best, are great at applying makeup and enjoy talking to others and demonstrating products, a career or side job as a makeup distributor may be a great choice for you. Some other advantages of becoming a makeup distributor include getting free product samples and being able to create your own flexible work schedule.
There are a wide variety of makeup and cosmetic companies offering the opportunity for you to become a distributor. Often, distributors are referred to as representatives. Companies will typically provide the information necessary on their Web sites to get started as a representative.
Instructions
1. Decide which type of cosmetics company you are interested in representing. There are a variety of companies looking for makeup distributors, such as Mary Kay or Avon and some smaller companies that specialize in organic or mineral makeup.
2. Go to the company's Web site and find out if there are any start-up costs to become a distributor. For example, as of 2009, Lipsense, a small company, charged $55 to start working as a company representative. Costs will vary depending on the cosmetic company and what is included in their start-up kits. Some companies (such as Mary Kay) also will require you to purchase inventory to keep on hand. Also, be sure to check on your percentage of the commission for any sales. Some companies have bonus programs for top makeup distributors that include incentives like complimentary travel/vacations or even free cars.
3. Sign up to become a distributor. Pay any fees that are required, and find out all of the information on what is involved to sell the products. The company may even provide you with marketing materials, including your own personalized Web site.
4. Become familiar with the products; try them. Read the materials, and start recommending the makeup to family and friends---word of mouth always sells. Set up your Web site, and schedule some home shows to demonstrate how well the makeup works.
