Makeup

Makeup coverage here includes base, lip and eye products plus the tools used to apply them, with an emphasis on practical guidance, what actually works for different skin types and everyday wear, over chasing whatever trend is popular this season. We look at buying considerations like how a foundation or base product wears through a full day, how to match undertones without relying only on in-store testing, and which products are genuinely versatile enough to work for both everyday wear and slightly dressier occasions. Application tools are covered too, with honest comparisons of brushes, sponges and other applicators for how much of a real difference they make to the finished look versus how they're marketed.
