Makeup is the exact same thing as cosmetics. They're synonyms, but people who are trying to sound more affluent use the word "cosmetics".

I don't think there is one, really, except that 'cosmetics' might be a slightly broader term. You typically find lotions and stuff in the cosmetics section of the store.

One starts with a 'C' the other with 'M'. other than that nothing, they are both the same. What is the difference between Man and Male? just a different name for the same thing.

Makeup has fewer syllables and is therefore easier and faster to say than cosmetics.

i believe they are both the same, cosmetics is a more sophisticated way of labeling makeup

There is no difference - they both mean the same thing.
