Makeup products are temporary feature-altering cosmetics. The products generally have a worn duration of four hours, have typically 20 uses per item, and can be removed with specially designed cleaning implements. They include blush, eyeliner, eyeshadow, lipstick, and face oil. There is also a newer style called Makeup 2.0 that has additional features and designs.
