How can you get free makeup samples?

Two common methods for getting free makeup samples is to request them through the mail or pick them up in person at a retail store. It may also be possible to get free samples by joining consumer testing panels sponsored by makeup companies.

To get makeup samples through the mail, consider joining a website dedicated to cataloging available samples. Some cosmetics companies also send free samples to customers who order from them online. To get free samples from a store, request them from a retailer that specializes in cosmetics, such as a department store makeup counter or store that sells only beauty products.
