When it comes to makeup safety, I’ve got one rule and one rule alone: Trust no one. I don’t care if your friend tells you that she’s been using this product for x amount of years and that it has no expiration date. Make-up doesn’t work the same for everyone. Plus, who likes getting infections that are make-up related? Wisen up and look to the following legit online resources for make-up safety information.

1. CosmeticsInfo.org: Sponsored by The Personal Care Products Council, (the trade association representing the cosmetic, toiletry, and fragrance industry) CosmeticsInfo.org is an online database of research information on the contents of every single makeup product known to man.

2. The FDA’s Cosmetic’s Site: Nothing says legit like the FDA. The FDA site on cosmetics features all the latest consumer news and reports regarding cosmetics.

3. The FDA’s Cosmetics Site FAQ: The FAQ has more information worth paying attention to that you wouldn’t normally think to search while visiting the cosmetics site.
