Is there any fake makeup websites I should look out for?? What are the differences between these and the real thing?? Is there health risk involved?? I've been thinking of getting fake makeup for my niece but I don't know if it is worth it or not??

DON't buy fake makeup! You have no idea what's in the ingredients because they may not be as regulated as the ones in the real products. So there isn't a huge risk as in "you'll die if you use this makeup," but you just simply don't KNOW for certain what's in them. It's possible the ingredients are harmful but they may not be listed because they are probably not adhering to the health and safety standards that the real brands are held to. And the real companies are being ripped off when anyone sells or buys fake makeup as well. It's a counterfeit product and is probably illegal to be selling or buying them anyway. There are plenty of good quality cheap brands you can buy instead. Like NYX, Bh, Coastal Scents, etc. They are all reputable brands that have their ingredients tested and regulated. Also buy from a repeatable source like the brands official website, a beauty counter in a department store or specialty retailers like Sephora and Ulta and their websites.

Hmm I don't know what you mean by fade cosmetics, but if your niece is young you can buy her play makeup like the little princess sets and the like from toy stores, I hope I helped!!

And if you mean play makeup, most are safe and all natural as they are meant for children.

Play makeup like stuff in sets should be okay I would think. But not like fake products on MAC eBay or that kind of thing. But even still, do some research into the ingredients and make sure. If I had a daughter or niece I would probably just buy her some stuff from NYX like lipgloss and some soft sparkly eyeshadows or some stuff from Elf or LipSmackers just because I know they're all real, safe and reputable brands of makeup and I'm paranoid and a worry wart lol.
