How do you test cosmetics for lead?

I received many eye makeup products from a foreign country including eyeshadow and kohl. When I wore them, I had a terrible headache, so I'm suspicous as to whether it may contain a dangerous substance like lead. If I could determine that there is lead in it, I could prevent other people from using the products. So I'm looking for a way to test for lead. I am not sure if Leadchecker cotton swabs could work.How do you test cosmetics for lead?
You can take it to an environmental lab and have them test it for you. At the lab I work at our lead test is only $10 per sample. I'm sure the home kits cost more than that! Find a lab by you via phonebook.





If you take it to a lab they will have WAY better equipment to test it than a home kit, they know what they're doing, and they have to do all sorts of checks to ensure that the numbers they get are accurate.How do you test cosmetics for lead?
