Is Cosmetics and makeup FSA/HSA eligible?

Not eligible

No. Cosmetics and makeup are not FSA or HSA eligible.

Why

What the IRS rules say

The IRS treats cosmetics as items that improve appearance rather than treat a medical condition, so they are not eligible. This holds even for makeup marketed with skincare or SPF claims, unless the product is a medicated treatment.

Based on IRS Publication 502.
