Selling cosmetics

Q:

1. Is selling cosmetics which are used for make-up halaal?

2. Is it permissible to invest in such a business by buying shares/stocks?

A:

1. If the ingredients are right and they are cosmetics that are not exclusive to kuffaar then it is permissible.

2. If it is halaal then you can invest provided the investment is compliant to the shariah.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
