About This Website
This website publishes research-based reference material about prestige lip, eye and cheek cosmetics — lipsticks and lip oils, eyeshadow palettes and liners, blushes, bronzers and highlighters. The purpose of the site is to organise publicly available information so readers can understand categories, formats, finishes and terminology before they shop.
The work here is desk research and editorial summarisation. Pages are built from manufacturer-published product descriptions, publicly stated ingredient and formulation information, and published guidance from government consumer agencies. This website does not claim first-hand product trials, laboratory analysis or clinical evaluation, and nothing on this site should be read as implying that any product was personally used, worn or measured by us.
We also do not present ourselves as a medical, dermatological or regulatory authority. Cosmetics can interact with individual skin and eye sensitivities in ways that no general reference page can anticipate. Readers with allergies, reactive skin, eye conditions or any medical concern should consult a qualified professional and read the manufacturer's own label and warnings before use.
Affiliate Disclosure
This website participates in the Amazon Associates programme. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
In plain terms: if a reader follows a link from this site to a retail listing and completes a qualifying purchase, this website may receive a small commission from the retailer. The reader pays nothing extra; the commission comes out of the retailer's side of the transaction. Commission arrangements do not change what we publish. Inclusion of a brand, category or product type on this site is not an endorsement, and exclusion is not a criticism.
Prices, availability, packaging, shade ranges and formulations change frequently in the cosmetics category. Any figure or description on this site reflects the information available when the page was written and may be out of date by the time you read it. The retailer's own listing is always the authoritative source at the moment of purchase. Consumer protection information, including guidance on shopping, complaints and scams, is published for the public by USA.gov. [S2]
Privacy Policy
This website collects a limited amount of information, and only for the purpose of operating and improving the site.
- Analytics: aggregated, non-identifying data such as pages viewed, approximate region, referring source, device type and time on page.
- Cookies: small files stored by your browser that support analytics measurement and, where affiliate links are used, standard retailer attribution.
- Server logs: routine technical records such as IP address, browser type and request timestamps, kept for security and diagnostics.
You can opt out at any time. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies, use private browsing, or send a do-not-track signal; browser-level cookie controls affect only cookie-based analytics measurement and affiliate attribution, while server logs and processing by third-party services continue. Blocking cookies may affect how some pages display.
Terms of Service
By using this website you agree to these terms. Content is provided for general informational purposes only and is offered "as is", without warranty of any kind, express or implied. Nothing on this site constitutes legal, medical, dermatological or professional advice, and no reader should treat it as a substitute for such advice.
We do not manufacture, stock, sell, ship or service any product described on this site, and we are not a party to any transaction you enter into with a retailer or brand. Returns, refunds, warranties, defects and delivery issues are matters between you and the seller. Product safety recalls and safety information in the United States are published by the government agency responsible for the relevant product category. [S1]
All site text and layout remain the property of this website unless otherwise stated. You may quote short excerpts with attribution; wholesale republication is not permitted. We may amend these terms or any page at any time without individual notice.
Editorial Policy
Our standards are simple and are applied to every page:
- Sourcing: factual claims are drawn from manufacturer-published information or from published government consumer and safety resources. We do not cite sources we have not consulted.
- Scope discipline: where the available evidence does not support a statement, we say less rather than filling the gap with speculation. We avoid performance, longevity or "best for" claims that we cannot substantiate.
- No pay-for-placement: coverage cannot be purchased. Brands do not review or approve pages before publication.
- Review cadence: pages are re-checked periodically, and content that has become inaccurate is updated or withdrawn.
- Corrections: if a page contains an error, we correct it directly and note material changes on the page.
