Make-Up - Cosmetics

 
   

Make-up is a type of adorment, and cosmetics are substances used to enhance or protect the appearance of the human body. Their use is widespread, especially among women in Western countries. Make-up refers primarily to coloured products intended to alter the user’s appearance. There are also decorative cosmetics and care cosmetics.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) which regulates cosmetics in the United States defines cosmetics as: "intended to be applied to the human body for cleansing, beautifying, promoting attractiveness, or altering the appearance without affecting the body's structure or functions."
