[Answering for our Fan Services Director since she's busy studying] This is a huge gray area that we're hoping to better answer for FanimeCon 2011.

Oh, I hope it will be cleared up soon before I actually start making the stuff.  I absolutely love makeup and I got really excited when I saw the one booth in the dealer's room that sold makeup this year.  I'd love to be able to sell my own creations.

I sold Lip Balm this year in the artist's alley, and my table was literally right in front of the staff table. ;) So I'd imagine cosmetics and soaps are alright. Make sure your cosmetics follow FDA Labeling regulations, though. http://www.fda.gov/Cosmetics/CosmeticLabelingLabelClaims/CosmeticLabelingManual/ucm126444.htm#clgk

Ohhh! I think I was at your booth! And thanks very much =D

No problem. :D Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about labeling regulations and stuff. xD I spent a long time studying them while I was preparing for Fanime this year.

Thanks! Any help would be much appreciated. I'm reading a lot about the materials and what is safe and so forth (procrastinating for finals) but when I get down to actually making the stuff, I'll come around buggin' ya!

I've searched the forums but I can't seem to find a straight answer to this question.  If there is an info thread somewhere that I've missed, please kindly post a link as a response.  I'd really appreciate that.

Anyways, all I know about Artist Alley is that I can't sell copyrighted stuff and I can only sell what I create myself.  I also know that food cannot be sold or given away here.  I'm learning how to make my own soaps and cosmetics, and I'd love to sell my creations at Artist Alley but I don't know if I'm allowed to.  I have not seen anything of this sort sold at Fanime except for the single makeup booth in Dealer's Room that sold eyeshadow singles made in China.  I'm very passionate about makeup and I'd love to be able to spread the love at Fanime.

Thanks so much in advance  :D

Edit: Can I sell stuff that my roommate made if I have her permission?
