Makeup
$20-$300
Is a Makeup Tax Deductible?
Short answer: No: makeup is personal grooming, even for business owners who need to look professional.
The narrow exception is on-camera or stage-only use (performers, creators) for a specific shoot; keep shoot dates and receipts.
Records to keep: Keep the receipt or invoice and an estimate of business-use percentage.
