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 Consultant», «Makeup & Skincare Advisor», «Retail Beauty Specialist», «Client Advisor — Beauty», and other variations.
