Makeup API — Free Makeup Product Database API (No Key)

TL;DR

The Makeup API provides a searchable catalog of thousands of makeup products from major brands. Filter by brand, product type (lipstick, foundation, eyeshadow, etc.), price range, or tag. Each product entry includes the brand name, product name, description, price, currency, product image URL, available colors with hex codes, and category tags. JSON format, no API key. A great resource for beauty apps, price comparison tools, and virtual makeup try-on experiences.

  .then(r => r.json())
  .then(products => {
    products.slice(0, 5).forEach(p => {
      console.log(`${p.brand} — ${p.name}`);
      console.log(`  Price: $${p.price} (${p.currency})`);
      console.log(`  Colors: ${p.product_colors.map(c => c.colour_name).join(', ')}`);

3. Python — Find Products Under Budget

import requests

budget = 10.0
all_products = requests.get(
    'https://makeup-api.herokuapp.com/api/v1/products.json',
    params={'price_less_than': budget}
).json()

print(f"Products under ${budget}: {len(all_products)}")
by_brand = {}
for p in all_products:
    brand = p['brand']
    if brand not in by_brand:
        by_brand[brand] = []
    if by_brand[brand].count(p['product_type']) < 3:
        by_brand[brand].append(p['product_type'])

for brand, types in sorted(by_brand.items())[:5]:
    print(f"  {brand}: {', '.join(set(types))}")
