How to Buy Cosmetics Online

• Enter the word "cosmetics" or "makeup" in a search engine such as Google, Yahoo!, or MSN.
• Browse a number of the sites. Some sell only the cosmetics that they manufacture while others give you a wide choice of products from various manufacturers.
• If you need a specific item, do a site search by the category of the product ("lipstick," "eyeliner") or by the name of the manufacturer.
• Consult with the site's online beauty adviser, if one is available. You can contact the adviser by e-mail, or you can use a toll-free phone number to call for advice before you buy.
• Find the product you want, and add it to your shopping or tote "bag." Be sure to indicate the color you desire in the appropriate box.
• Order all the products you need and proceed to "checkout." Fill in the payment and shipping information.
• Check the total amount with taxes and shipping costs added in.
• If you are happy with the total, submit your order.
