Foundation makeup splits between 3304.91 (powders — pressed powder, loose powder, mineral powder foundation, baked powder, setting powder) and 3304.99 (liquid foundation, cream foundation, stick foundation, cushion foundation, BB cream, CC cream, tinted moisturiser, concealer). Brands: Maybelline Fit Me, L'Oréal True Match, Estée Lauder Double Wear, Dior Backstage, Fenty Beauty Pro Filt'r, NARS Sheer Glow, Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Filter, IT Cosmetics CC Cream. The liquid-vs-powder distinction affects statistical tracking in the US (3304.91 vs 3304.99.50) but both carry 0% MFN duty. Contour powders, bronzer, blush, and highlighter are all 3304.91 (powder) or 3304.99 (cream). Setting sprays are 3304.99. Primers are 3304.99. Face masks (sheet masks, clay masks) are 3304.99 as skin care preparations. Tinted sunscreens with SPF are 3304.99 — the sunscreen function keeps it in 3304. Medicinal acne creams with active pharmaceutical ingredients (e.g. benzoyl peroxide, retinoids) may shift to 3004 (pharmaceutical preparations) requiring marketing authorisation. Cosmetic Regulation 1223/2009 (EU), the UK equivalent, and FDA Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act (MoCRA, 2023) apply. Post-MoCRA, US importers must register cosmetic facilities and list products.
