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 Advisor», «Makeup Artist – Retail», «Licensed Aesthetician», «Beauty Services Specialist», «Client Beauty Consultant», and other variations.
