What 化粧品販売/美容部員 do
An English description is being prepared. Japanese description:
来店客の希望を聞いてスキンケアやメーキャップ、ヘアケア、などに関してのカウンセリング（助言）を行う。化粧品は直接肌につけるものであり、ファッション性も高いので、ひとり一人に合わせた美容法や美容技術の指導が必要となる。メーク方法を教えたり、実際にメークをして似合う色を選んだり、サンプル品を提供して使い心地を確かめてもらいながら、商品を販売する。
また、定期的に化粧品販売会社の支社等に出社し、営業担当とプロモーション（商品をPRするための様々な催事）の打ち合わせをしたり、活動状況の報告を行う。
たくさんある化粧品の中から、自分の肌にあったものを選ぶことは簡単ではないため、「自分の肌に合った化粧品を選びたい、じっくり化粧品に関する悩みを相談したい」という人も多く、的確なアドバイスができることが大切である。
