Overview

The Makeup API is a free, open database of cosmetic products including lipsticks, foundations, eyeshadows, and more. You can search by product type, brand, price range, or tags without needing any authentication or API key. It is a great beginner-friendly API for building beauty apps or practicing API integration.

Beginner Tip

Try filtering by product_type=lipstick or brand=maybelline to get a focused set of results — the API returns rich product data including price, color, and image URLs.

Available Data

The kind of data this API exposes, based on its documentation. We could not call the endpoint to confirm the exact field names.

Common Errors & Troubleshooting

Generated guidance based on this API's documentation, not observed by us. Treat it as a starting point and check against the provider's own error reference.

Empty array response [] The filter combination (brand + product_type) returns no matches

✓ Try broader filters, for example use only product_type without specifying a brand.

Mixed content warning in browser The API URL uses HTTP (not HTTPS)

✓ If your app requires HTTPS, proxy the request through your server or look for HTTPS mirror support.

CORS error in browser Some browsers block cross-origin HTTP requests from HTTPS pages

✓ Fetch from a Node.js backend or use a CORS proxy for client-side development.

Metadata Score Breakdown

Estimated from metadata — endpoint not independently tested

This score is estimated from observable metadata — HTTPS support, authentication model, declared CORS, and documentation reachability — because the API requires authentication or exposes no publicly testable endpoint. The five-signal breakdown is only shown for live-tested APIs.
