What types of business insurance do makeup artists need?
These insurance policies cover the most common risks of makeup artists.

A general liability policy covers basic third-party risks, such as a customer who sues over an allergic reaction to a cosmetic product. Bundle it with commercial property insurance for savings in a BOP.
BEST FOR
- Customer bodily injuries
- Customer property damage

BEST FOR
- Customer bodily injuries
- Damaged customer property
- Damaged business property

BEST FOR
- Makeup artistry errors
- Undelivered makeup services
- Accusations of negligence
Workers’ compensation insurance
Most states require workers' comp for makeup salons that have employees. It also protects sole proprietors from work injury costs that health insurance might deny.
BEST FOR
- Employee medical expenses
- Disability benefits
- Lawsuits from employee injuries
Cyber insurance
Cyber insurance covers costs related to data breaches and cyberattacks. It's strongly recommended for makeup artists who handle credit card numbers and other personal information.

Commercial auto insurance
Commercial auto insurance covers the cost of accidents involving a vehicle owned by a makeup salon. Most states require this coverage for vehicles owned by a business.
