Resources for buying and learning about makeup online are plentiful, and include online stores, blogs, and magazines discussing makeup techniques, homemade beauty products, organic makeup, and animal-test-free products, as well as supplies and beauty tools.

Homemade Makeup

The surge in popularity of natural and organic products has made many people curious about  making and selling their own beauty products. The following sites show you where to get the ingredients and recipes you'll need to create your own makeup.

Dulcinea's Insight

  • The government and government-affiliated sites in this guide's "Cosmetics and Health" section have useful information about common ingredients (including natural ingredients) used in makeup. If you're looking to sell your products, this site is especially important to consult.
