Frequently Asked Questions
The luxury industry is characterised by a diverse and nuanced nomenclature.

To ensure absolute clarity, Cerulean assigns a standardised, industry-coherent canonical title to every listing. However, it is worth noting that this role is functionally synonymous with «Beauty Artist», «Beauty Consultant», «Sales Associate - Beauty», «Cosmetics Advisor», and other variations.
