Take a different approach and talk to a business counselor before you do anything especially spend money. I'd call the local office of SCORE (go to http://www.score.org and input your zip code to find the chapter nearest you), the advice is FREE.
The counselor at SCORE will most likely advise you to write a business plan which is very good advice because it will force you to dig out all of the start up details and the costs of starting a Merle Norman Cosmetics Studio and force you to also understand all of the aspects of this business including the customers you'll concentrate on (your market ) and how you'll go after them.
You'll need to register the business with your state controller's office and make sure that you have any city and county licenses if any are needed where you live. All of this will come out in a business plan.

i don't know the first thing about business ownership, but i am a customer, and let me tell you i love your products! the face powders and oil-absorbing lotions are great. what got me hooked was when my local store was doing free makeovers. they also have buy-2-products-get-a-gift-bag specials every now and then. good luck!
