Getting a fake or expired cosmetic items like foundation and lipstick
will definitely damage the skin. So, it is best to stick to only known
and reliable portals like Amazon, Snapdeal, Flipkart and Jabong.
Browse through established brands only:
Settle for established brands only. A lipstick from a good brand might
be more expensive compared to a fairly unknown one, but it will surely
be a good quality product.
Stick to what you have already tried:
The chemical composition of a lipstick, moisturiser or blush varies
from brand to brand. While ordering these products online, it is best to
go with the tried-and-tested ones that you know suits your skin.
Get the right shade:

online is picking the right shade of foundation, cream, lipstick or
eyeliner that suits your skin.

you use a tester, which is not possible when you shop online. You can
first visit a store nearby and try different shades of the product you
want to buy. Note down the brand and shade number of the item you like
and order it online if you get it at better price.
Reject your order if not sealed: It is of utmost importance to ensure that your cosmetics, when delivered, are sealed. If not, reject your order.
