    You cna not sell homemade make up. You need FDA certification and you have to properly test each and every make up as well as manufacture it in a clean environment. Make up is just about as regulated for safety as medications are.

    I'd say start by finishing high school... You and every other 15 year old girl want to start a make up line. If you know so little about business that you have to ask if you need a business license then you are too unfamiliar. Do some research, and take a few business classes. Not trying to put you down, just saying that you can't even legally employ yourself for another year.

    Buy a table ($20-$25) at your local school, church bazaar, and flea market and list your ingredients with a price on them. I don't know legal or whatever but the bake sales and stuff don't have business licenses. Make sure to double check with your parents!!

    You will need a ton of money, someone to produce the make-up, a license from the FDA and someone to advertise and market it. Did I mention a ton of money??

    He comprados varias veces en los sitios web mi set de maquillaje y siempre he sido muy contenta, el último que he comprado ha sido un set de maquillaje para corregir algunas cosas, además de un buen precio el producto cumple todas mis expectativas, una excelente compra y muy practica.
