Younique's products are highly regarded, including award-winning lash products, mascaras, foundations, and skin care. By joining as a Younique Brand Ambassador or Brand Affiliate, you can earn commissions and discounts on these exceptional products. Younique is also a mission-based brand.

How do I get started as a Brand Ambassador or Brand Affiliate?
Embarking on your Younique journey is straight forward! Decide whether you'd like to be a Brand Ambassador or Brand Affiliate, then join alongside a Sponsor. This can be someone you already know or someone located near you. Your Sponsor is your guide, providing support as you unlock your potential with our targeted training, supportive community, and pioneering tools.
Once you know who you'd like as your sponsor, our Quick Enrollment process makes it easy to get started.
To enroll using Quick Enrollment, follow these steps:
Do I need a Sponsor to join Younique?
Yes, a Sponsor is a must for either path when you join Younique. You have the flexibility to choose a Sponsor you're already acquainted with or opt for someone located near you. It's all about finding the right fit for your journey.
Is it possible to switch Sponsors after joining?
Every Brand Affiliate and Brand Ambassador has a Brand Ambassador Sponsor. Younique does not allow changes in sponsorship to active Brand Affiliate or Brand Ambassador accounts. You may, however, rejoin under a new Sponsor by allowing your Brand Affiliate or Brand Ambassador account to convert to a customer account due to inactivity, then re-enrolling under a new Sponsor. Please note that you will need to wait until the pay period finalizes before re-enrolling, typically by the fifth of the month. For instance, if your account was converted to a customer account on July 1, you will need to wait until July 5 before you can rejoin as a Brand Ambassador or Brand Affiliate. You will be required to purchase a new YOUNIQUE Beauty Starter Kit upon re-enrollment, and you will not retain your downline, Title, lifetime PRS, or customer subscriptions.
To remain active as a Brand Ambassador or Brand Affiliate, you must earn 250 PRS or more over a three-month rolling period, excluding your enrollment month.
If a Brand Affiliate or Brand Ambassador formally resigns by contacting Younique Compliance while still active, they will not be eligible to rejoin under a new Sponsor until their projected inactivity date.
For example, if you join in August, and do not earn a total of 250 PRS or more over the months of September, October, and November, your account will convert to a customer account on December 1. If you formally resign in any of those months, you would be eligible to rejoin under a new Sponsor on December 1, when your account would convert to a customer account. Eligibility to rejoin under a new Sponsor does not change based on when you formally resign. Younique will look at when your Brand Affiliate or Brand Ambassador account would be converting to a customer account due to inactivity upon cancellation, and that is the date that you would be eligible to rejoin under a new Sponsor.
What are the requirements for Younique Brand Ambassadors and Brand Affiliates?
To become a Younique Brand Ambassador or Brand Affiliate, you need to enroll online and purchase the YOUNIQUE Beauty Starter Kit.

If you fail to earn the required PRS within the three-month rolling period, your account will be converted to a customer account due to inactivity and will not be eligible for reinstatement. Should you opt to rejoin as a Brand Ambassador or Brand Affiliate following this conversion, you will need to purchase a new YOUNIQUE Beauty Starter Kit upon re-enrollment. However, please note that you will not retain your downline, Title, Lifetime PRS, or customer subscriptions. Additionally, you will no longer be eligible to attend any trips you may have qualified for as an active Brand Ambassador/Brand Affiliate.
