Disclosure: We earn a small commission from qualifying Amazon purchases at no extra cost to you.
This page explains how this website produces its guides to prestige lip, eye and cheek cosmetics, and sets out the disclosure, privacy and terms information that applies to everything published here. It is written to be read in full, not skimmed for a recommendation.About This Website
This website publishes research-based buying guides and explanatory articles about prestige colour cosmetics: lipsticks and lip treatments, eye products such as shadows, liners and mascaras, and cheek products including blushes, bronzers and highlighters.
The work is desk research. Articles are assembled from publicly available information such as manufacturer-published ingredient lists, shade ranges, published product specifications, formulation categories, and publicly available consumer protection and product safety resources. No claim of laboratory analysis, in-person trial or personal use is made anywhere on this site, and readers should not interpret descriptive language as a report of first-hand experience.
No individual author identity, editorial team, credential or professional qualification is claimed for this site. Where a page describes a product category, that description reflects published information rather than personal expertise.
Affiliate Disclosure
This website participates in the Amazon Associates Program. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
In plain terms: some links on this site point to Amazon. If a reader follows one of those links and completes a qualifying purchase, this site may receive a small commission from Amazon. The reader pays nothing extra; the commission comes out of the retailer's margin, not the purchase price.
This arrangement does not change what appears in a guide. Inclusion is not purchased, and no brand pays for placement, tone or coverage on this site. Prices, availability and product details on retailer pages change frequently and are controlled by the retailer, not by this website, so the retailer's own listing is always the authoritative source at the moment of purchase.
Editorial and Sourcing Standards
Guides on this site follow a consistent process:
- Sourcing. Factual statements are drawn from manufacturer-published product information or from public, official consumer resources. Where a claim cannot be supported by such a source, the claim is removed rather than softened.
- Scope discipline. This site does not diagnose skin conditions, does not offer medical, dermatological or allergy advice, and does not describe outcomes for any individual reader. Anyone with a suspected sensitivity or reaction to a cosmetic product should consult a qualified healthcare professional.
- Safety context. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission publishes consumer product safety information, including recall notices. [S1] Readers concerned about the safety status of an item are encouraged to consult the responsible government resource directly rather than relying on any third-party summary.
- Consumer rights. General consumer protection guidance for the public is published by the U.S. government through USA.gov. [S2]
- Updates. Pages are revisited periodically because formulations are reformulated, shades are discontinued and packaging changes. An update may correct, expand or retire a page entirely.
- Corrections. Factual errors are corrected as soon as they are identified and verified. Substantive corrections are made in the page body rather than quietly overwritten.
