My aunt has been a Mary Kay consultant for 20 years and she loves it. She wants me to join her team. The company has been around since 1963 and has the iconic pink Cadillac incentive. But I have heard stories about consultants ending up with garages full of unsold inventory. The cosmetics industry is also incredibly competitive now with brands like Fenty, Rare Beauty, and Korean skincare dominating. Is Mary Kay still relevant? Can new consultants actually make money selling premium cosmetics through direct sales when you can buy great products at Sephora or Target?

This should be required reading for anyone thinking about joining an MLM. Not to scare them away, but so they go in with realistic expectations instead of the fairy tales their upline tells them.
I am a current distributor and I have to admit everything here is accurate. I still believe in my products but the business model has serious flaws that the industry needs to address.
I have been in network marketing for 10 years across 2 companies. Currently earning about $5,500 per month. Here is the truth nobody tells you - it took me 4 years of consistent daily work before I hit $1,000 per month. Most people quit before reaching that point.
