Common questions
What is on Blend and Build?
Makeup as technique, plus the shade system that decides whether a technique works on a given skin tone. Face, Eyes and Lips are the technique sections, Looks pulls them together, and Shades handles undertone and matching. Skincare and fragrance are not covered.
What is each piece based on?
From reporting, brand announcements or shade range documentation published elsewhere, summarised with the publication credited and linked. What a source claims about a formula stays attributed to that source. None of the original text is reproduced.
Do you rank products or pick favourites?
No. The site reports launches, shade extensions and reformulations as they are published, without scoring them or naming a best. Anything that reads like a verdict came from a source and is credited to it.
Who writes the tutorials and articles?
They are written with automated assistance and published without an individual byline, with the source named in place of an author. Nobody here is presented as a working artist, and no piece claims a technique was performed and photographed for it.
How often does new material appear?
Through the day, as sources publish, so the running order on the front page changes rather than a new edition arriving. Quiet days are quiet, and launch weeks are busy.
Does the site collect anything about me?
No. There are no cookies, no analytics and no advertising or third-party scripts of any kind. Your light or dark theme choice is kept in your own browser and is never sent anywhere.
