Makeup Buying Advice
Good makeup picks depend on your skin tone, your finish and how long you need it to last. This page is buying advice. We add specific product picks only after reading the maker's own page.
Start with what you need
- Shade and undertone. Check the brand's shade chart and swatches on skin tones close to yours. Shade names differ between brands.
- Finish. Matte, natural and dewy finishes suit different skin types and occasions.
- Everyday wear. Look at how a product wears over a full day, and how easy it is to remove.
- Sensitive skin. Patch-test new products, and stop using one that irritates your skin.
Buying guide
- Match the shade. Shade is the biggest reason makeup disappoints. Use the shade guide and read reviews from people with a similar skin tone.
- Think about the finish. Choose the finish that suits your skin type and the look you want.
- Check expiry and hygiene. Check the shelf-life symbol on the pack, and keep brushes and sponges clean.
