Makeup product review testing is a real thing. You may have heard of such an opportunity but thought that there is absolutely no way makeup companies are going to give you a free sample of a new product and actually pay you to review it. However, this is not a fraud. It is a legitimate way to earn a little extra cash, or at the very least, get some new, cool makeup products free.
Why Do Makeup Companies Need Product Reviewers
Makeup companies save a ton of money by using at-home product reviewers. They get valuable feedback from their target consumer before they go through the trouble of putting products on the shelves. This way, they have the opportunity to correct any issues that you, as a tester, have encountered before their market line goes public.
How to Get Started as a Makeup Product Tester from Home
Getting started as a makeup product tester is actually simple. The first thing you need is to have a working internet connection and home computer. Hop online and search for companies that use at-home product testers. Of course, use good judgment. Although this is a legitimate opportunity, there are still those who would swindle you. Therefore, once you have found a company you like, check them out thoroughly, and then sign up.
You will begin receiving emails in your inbox from your companies. You will be screened to see if you fit the criteria review tasks. If you are, you just give them your address and wait on your product to arrive!
The last steps to the process are straightforward. You test out the product and review it honestly. That is it! Most of the time you are allowed to keep the product that you have tested, and many times you are offered a payment for your services. Keep in mind, payment varies from product to product.
Becoming a makeup product tester is easy. Just search for legitimate opportunities online and sign up. Fill out your screeners and answer the questionnaires, all while getting free products and possible payment!
