I'm a consultant and I talk to people everywhere I go. Be careful advertising on Ebay and other places if you do not have the company approved advertisement that is located on your personal website. The company does not allow advertising that hasn't been preapproved and you could lose your MK business if you violate their terms.
You can go door to door but you really don't build a good relationship with the customer. To me that's trying to make a one-time sale. I recommend not leaving books with customers for long periods of time because they'll never order or if they do it'll be small stuff. Leave a book and give a deadline that you'll pick the book up on a certain date and their orders.
Don't waste your time leaving your card on peoples door or in person without getting their info. When people say they would rather you leave a book, card, or just a voice mail, they don't want to hurt your feelings by telling you they really aren't interested. Those who don't want face-to-face interaction really aren't interested in the first place and definitely would not make a great customer.
Try a ';Fish Bowl'; in the style of a ballot box. Find a store you would like to put it in and talk to the manager. Make a little hand made insert for the ballot box with some info cards for people to fill out. Make it a gift certificate drawing or something of the sort to help you get contacts. Check on it weekly and be sure to tape your business card on the bottom of the ballot box. Be sure to advise the manager that only the persons name on that card is allowed to retrieve the information from the box. You'd be surprised the dishonesty in people who'll take those names!
Also, I don't recommend deceiving potential customers that you are a makeup artist without telling them you are a Mary Kay consultant. If you cannot tell a potential customer you are a Mary Kay consultant, is that setting a good first and last impression on you and your business? If someone came at me like that, I'd steer clear of her.Mary Kay cosmetics....What are your thoughts of selling or recruiting door to door?
I would have to say that Mary Kay is hard. There are so many consultants out there that the market is saturated with them. I looked at selling different things and decided to go with Purse Party. I love it! Find what you like and sell it is my advice!Mary Kay cosmetics....What are your thoughts of selling or recruiting door to door?
they're great products
cheap too
good face washes
i havent tried there makeup
but they have great stuff and most of the ladies that work for mary kay are soooo nice!
If you want options that will not c ost as much let me know,
Listen I am currently a Mary Kay Rep I made enough to pull a c230 2008 benz let me tell you how I sell my skills I do not sell the product If u are a mkup artist and you are good they will automaticly want the product exapmle: when I first started I had a biz card I DID NOT TELL PEOPLE I WAS SELLING MK I told them I am a freelance mkup artist Which I am so it's not like I lied then I told them it would cost 60$ for a full makeup job if u are not a master mkup artist I would charge 20....anyways I showed my book or gave them the link 2 my myspace and they liked what they saw so when I did their mkup I hooked it up(keep in mind even if they buy nothing you pocketed 60$ most of the time if u are really good they will ask what u used and where they can get some that is when u bust out the mk To be quite honest I would do their mkup with my Mac and sell them the same color in mk HOTT2TROTT@ATT.NET look me up on MSPACE search Email
Mary Kay is hard, you have to invest and always have the product on hand and their products are good and last a while so once you sell a skin care set you won't see the customer again for a few months, I tried selling this but just didn't like it.
Too much work door to door there are people around you everywhere on a daily bases. I talk to people everywhere I go. Now with the men's line we even have the male market. if I am food shopping, at the park with my kids, whatever I am doing I just fit it in my day.
I don't find it hard at all it is the easier thing I ever did and I am not the sales type the only thing I ever sold ws girl scout cookies and I'm sure my Mom did most of those sales:)
Well, I don't think you will make a lot of money on it, since my mom tried the same thing!
But if you want to resell cosmetics, You should rent a lounge or parlor or empty room for one day and adertise it by putting your party in a newspaper, tape it up EVERYWHERE, get women to know about it, then have apetizers and champaigne and people can go aorund testing products, chatting, giving each other facials and massages, you will have some times to explain what your products do, and women will buy stuff!
You can also go to Fair's and places like that and sell your products.
Just make sure to advertise well, and smile smile smile!
LOL.
Also, dont push people to buy if they dont want to. They hate that, lol.
Well, Good Luck!
I don't think anyone does Mary Kay door-to-door anymore. You really need a website or e-bay or to find a mom and pop type of retail store that will let you have a little display in their shop.
I think the consultants are annoying. I find myself buying more of it when they leave their catalog with their information in places like nail salons or any other common place. Most people want a few key items, not to be plastered with a makeover with pressure to buy the whole catalog. Try mailing them in your neighborhood. I know when I get bored I tend to buy little things that are useful.
I know a few people who have done it. It wasn't a substantial form of income but it was just something they did for fun and because they liked the products. I suppose if you dedicate a lot of time to it you could make a lot of money.
I like some of their body products %26amp; colognes. Other than that I stick with a certain line for face %26amp; makeup. I personally would prefer someone leave their card at my door or leave a message on our vms--rather than a person to person visit.

Bobbie Brown Cosmetics....Is her stuff really that good?
I really want to know if anyone uses Bobbie Browns cosmetics i.e; foundation and mascara because I heard its really good and is even better at covering up acne and is not oil based so does don't over compensate oil glands (i have naturally oily skin) I really want to start uses foundation and stuff but is afraid it will make me skin problem even worse??? Please help, any advice would be gratefully!!Bobbie Brown Cosmetics....Is her stuff really that good?
i'm told ,its GREATBobbie Brown Cosmetics....Is her stuff really that good?
Bobbi Brown cosmetics are really good (I use MAC %26amp; BB) And FYI, you can get smaller sizes in BB cosmetics - kind of try before you buy...although I think they're mainly for quick touch ups etc...but good if you don't want to lay out loads of money before hand! Go to a BB make-up counter for advice, or go on-line.
Yes that is a great brand but unless you have yellow undertones thier foundations aren't right for you. As they all are yellow based and can make someone of olive or pinkish tones look sick. Buty for their mascaras try them you won't be disappointed. Also try their shimmer bricks they ca be used for shadow,highlighting and blush.
I have very oily skin as well and decided to try out one of the foundation, big mistake. I wasted 拢25 on it, as it smelt horrible, didn't give good coverage and just really melted off my face. And even though I have yellow undertones this was much too yellowy.
It is a very good brand esp. for foundation. I think they're very good quality. It's one of my favourtie brands for foundation.
If you go to buy it, however, ask them to match you for the right foundation (or to give you the options for which one you like see link for a list) %26amp; test to match ur skin colour, then they'll give you a sample satchet sample to try at home to see if it suits you. Then you won't have to spend loads of money if it it is not what u r looking for.http://www.bobbibrown.co.uk/templates/pr鈥?/a>
Bobbie Brown is the most repected cosmetic supplier/manufacturer.
My Fiance swears buy it, It is a little more on the expensive side however you get what you pay for.

How do you darken a permanent cosmetic lip colour if its too dark?
If an implanted lip colour is too dark, which colour will help lighten it during the retouch appointment?How do you darken a permanent cosmetic lip colour if its too dark?
Ask them to show you a pamphlet of the colours. If it's not that much darker than what you want, just get a colour or two lighter, but if it's way to dark, than pick the exact lip colour you want and go a few colours higher than it.How do you darken a permanent cosmetic lip colour if its too dark?
Well don't know about the color, maybe something lighter(duh),but I think the appropriate question is, ';How do you lighten a permanent cosmetic lip color if its too dark?'; You said ';Darken'; but yeah.

What do all the symbols on cosmetic bottles etc mean?
How can I tell if they have been tested on animals?What do all the symbols on cosmetic bottles etc mean?
It has been illegal to test cosmetics on animals in this country since 1985 and to use ingredients tested on animals since the 1990s. Any reputable company would not touch ingredients tested on animals - most ingredients can now be made synthetically in a lab.
Why are people so bothered about testing products on animal and don't seem to care about animal welfare in other areas of consumption?
I am sick of people who moan about animal testing without knowing the facts, but will quite happily eat KFC and use prescription medication!!
Save your sympathies for the people of the world who suffer in the making cosmetics and fashion instead - there are no warning labels for them.
Right on!

XWhat do all the symbols on cosmetic bottles etc mean?
if the product is animal tested they tend not to say to be certain products which have not been tested will always state so
they are right about that question but i know a brand that doesn't test on animals
it is urban decay
If it is a ';good'; make they put on the bottle about not being tested on animals,but what other symbols are you referring to?
search for the companys name on google along with the words animal testing
there won't be a symbol for it, but it will say perhaps under ingredients or something, whether it is dermalogically tested [tested on animals]. Or you could check out the product you're looking at on their website if they have one.
Hope you find out!

watch out for the picture of the ickle bunny-wunny wiv his tiny wittle pawsies over his tiny wittle eyes.....they're normally a high animal factor....
Animals don't wear make-up; so why test it on them....drag some tottering chimps off the High Street - test it on them.blond hair

How can someone get pro-bono cosmetic plastic surgery procedures done?
Does anyone know of a way a person could be considered as a medical students practice subject, and maybe could act as their practice subject throughout their cosmetic plastic surgery training, in order to receive cosmetic plastic surgical procedures free of charge?
Or is there a way to be considered for pro-bono cosmetic plastic surgery?How can someone get pro-bono cosmetic plastic surgery procedures done?
NO
No surgical procedures are permitted on patients by medical students anywhere. However a doctor taking an internship (which means that they are no longer a student, and are a licensed physician) would be allowed to practice their skill under the watchful eye of a specialist physician or hospital team, and then be able to perform medical procedures. Since a qualified surgeon is always present and either watches or assists, in most cases this procedure would still be a fee procedure. In essence since the specialist is there you would be paying for their expertise as usual.
Pro-bono plastic surgery has been performed by various doctors for reconstructive surgery, when the patient is in need and cannot afford the procedure, and of course for promotion of their skill, as is seen in Doctor 90210 where the video taping is aired for commercial purposes, so the company in this case (FOX) is actually paying for the procedure so that they can tape it and broadcast it.....and the patient gets the procedure free. Then of course there are other shows, such as Extreme Makeover where the same applies and the patient gets the procedure free.
Insurance regulations are rather strict on Doctors, and giving away services for free can result in many negative consequences ...if something was to go wrong, the patient can claim free might have resulted in substandard care....etc etc...so Doctors as a rule do not do this unless there are extenuating circumstances.
That being said, I do know that there is a website where ladies may get breast augmentation ... free...by joining the site and posting pictures etc...so that viewers can contribute if they like them, and the money contributed once it reaches the necessary amount to get the surgery is then sent to a qualified plastic surgeon to perform the augmentation, after which the patient posts 'after pictures' etc....but in essence the procedure is 'free' ... http://myfreeimplants.com/ as was featured on the Today Show.....How can someone get pro-bono cosmetic plastic surgery procedures done?
Most likely this would only be done for ';reconstructive surgery'; which is where plastic surgery originated. It's not the type of surgery that ';enhances breasts'; or ';is a face lift';. It's the kind of surgery that fixes someones face when they were in an accident or rebuilds areas that needed to be removed due to burns/amputations/birth deformities.
If your just out to get free 'make-over' surgery you should probably get counseling first. If it's reconstruction you need, ask your primary care physician for help.
do you really want to be a students guinea pig? you must really hate yourself to be desperate enough for that even to cross your mind. get a sugar daddy, thats the only way someones going to pay for your insecurities. but id suggest putting the money into some therapy sessions.
I bet you probably could. If cancer patients can recieve free experimental chemo, I bet you can get free experimental silicone.

Should I go to a dermatologist, cosmetic surgeon or gp to have skin tags removed?
For some reason my doctor doesn't want to do it. I think because my insurance doesn't cover it she doesn't want to charge me or tell me how much she should charge.Should I go to a dermatologist, cosmetic surgeon or gp to have skin tags removed?
dermatologist should be able to handle skin tags with no problem...no need for a surgeon. Usually insurance does not cover the removal of skin tags because it's considered a ';cosmetic'; procedure. Definitely ask your doctor to refer you to a dermatologist.Should I go to a dermatologist, cosmetic surgeon or gp to have skin tags removed?
Get a referral from your doctor. She will know who to send you to.
you have the right to ask your GP why he does not want to do this there may be a good medical reason do not, underestimate your GP,
