False Eyelash Accessories
The Google product category ID for False Eyelash Accessories is 502996. It sits under Makeup Tools and has 3 subcategories of its own, so it is a predefined value you can send as it stands — but one of those 3 is usually the closer answer, and an interior category fits when a product genuinely spans the ones below.

Where this sits in the taxonomy
Measured by how much sits beneath them, False Eyelash Accessories is the largest of the 10 categories under Makeup Tools, with 3 categories below it.

False Eyelash AccessoriesFalse Eyelash Adhesive
The longest route down from here runs 1 more level, ending at False Eyelash Adhesive (7256) on level 7: False Eyelash Accessories › False Eyelash Adhesive. Most branches stop sooner than that — the figure to compare it against is the seven levels Google's taxonomy allows, not the depth of the branch next door.

Using this value
Either form of this value goes in the google_product_category attribute: the numeric ID (502996) or the full path ("Health & Beauty > Personal Care > Cosmetics > Cosmetic Tools > Makeup Tools > False Eyelash Accessories"). Both are predefined values for the same category. The ID is the sturdier of the two, because renaming any segment above this one changes the path text and leaves the number alone. Before sending it, check whether one of the 3 subcategories below fits — a narrower category groups the product with fewer, closer things.
Bear in mind that google_product_category is an optional attribute. Google assigns a category automatically, and your value is treated as a signal rather than an override. When an override actually applies.

Either row below is accepted. The first is the one to send.
| id | title | google_product_category |

| SKU-1001 | Your product title | Health & Beauty > Personal Care > Cosmetics > Cosmetic Tools > Makeup Tools > False Eyelash Accessories |
This path has no comma, so an unquoted cell holds it as it stands — which is not true of every category in the taxonomy. The numeric ID, 502996, is the form that does not depend on how the file is quoted.
What sits under False Eyelash Accessories
3 subcategories. A narrower category groups the product with fewer, closer things, so prefer one of these when it fits.
All 3 of them are leaves: none of the subcategories under False Eyelash Accessories continues any further, so one of those 3 names is the most specific value this branch can give you.
Questions about False Eyelash Accessories
What is the Google product category ID for False Eyelash Accessories?
502996. The full path, "Health & Beauty > Personal Care > Cosmetics > Cosmetic Tools > Makeup Tools > False Eyelash Accessories", is the same category written the other way. The ID is shorter, and renaming a segment above this one changes the path text while leaving the number alone.
Should I use False Eyelash Accessories or one of its subcategories?
Prefer a subcategory when one fits: False Eyelash Accessories has 3 directly below it, starting with False Eyelash Adhesive (7256), False Eyelash Applicators (7493), False Eyelash Remover (502997), and 3 in total further down. 502996 is itself a predefined value, so an interior category is not an error — it just groups the product more broadly than a subcategory would.
Where does False Eyelash Accessories sit in the taxonomy?
At level 6, under Makeup Tools (2548). The chain from the top is Health & Beauty → Personal Care → Cosmetics → Cosmetic Tools → Makeup Tools → False Eyelash Accessories. If your product does not belong under Makeup Tools, it does not belong here either — check the level above before going deeper.
What should I use if False Eyelash Accessories is not quite right?
Look across the rest of Makeup Tools first — there are 9 other categories at this level: Double Eyelid Glue & Tape (7356), Eyebrow Stencils (6555), Eyelash Curler Refills (6282), Eyelash Curlers (2780), Face Mirrors (476), Facial Blotting Paper (4121), and 3 more. If none of them fits either, the problem is higher up: go back to Makeup Tools (2548) and pick a different branch from there rather than settling for the closest thing on this one.
How much more specific can I get than False Eyelash Accessories?
1 level more. The longest route down from False Eyelash Accessories is False Eyelash Accessories > False Eyelash Adhesive, ending at False Eyelash Adhesive (7256) on level 7. Not every branch below False Eyelash Accessories runs that far, so the category that fits your product may stop earlier than this one does.
How big is False Eyelash Accessories compared with the categories next to it?
It is the largest of the 10 at its level, carrying 3 categories below it. A bigger category is not a better one — it just means more of the taxonomy is still open below you after you pick it.
