How to start your own cosmetic line?
Get familiar with FDA regulations first. THey are very picky about product labeling.


Learn what ingredients are lip safe and which ones aren't


Decide how you are going to sell it: online? boutiques? phone? markets?ebay?


Decide how you will protect yourself from a lawsuit. Liability insurance or an LLC which you are not old enough to set up.


Line up your suppliers and figure out who has the best prices for what you need.


Figure your cost, including ingredients, shipping (to have it shipped to you), labels, web hosting, payment gateway,etc...


Then determine how much profit you need to add to the cost to come out ahead!
Reply:so.......


you're practically wanting to start a buinness....


it'll tack lot's of $$ at first and if it doesn't go well you will be losing all your $.





1st: make a website and post all the make up you have and have them e you their order, but seriously I'm not sure.


after you're like positive about your make up, try going to bendel's or boutiques and try to convince to take your line





plus.. you're wayyyyyyyyyyyy to young to start a complicated buisness like this.
Reply:You may want to look at cosmetology school or think about getting interested in chemistry, if you want to know how to make actual make-up. If you like the PR angle, look at marketing courses and when you're older, see if you can get internships with local cosmetic companies. Good luck!
