Why are there no specific brands mentioned?

Because naming a brand is either paid promotion or an invented recommendation. The useful information is about the category, and it is complete without a brand name.

Are these articles updated?

Yes. Seasonal and trend articles are revisited each year; the rest when something genuinely changes. The date is always shown.

Where should I start?

With three: preparing skin for makeup, the starter kit, and common mistakes. They complement each other and cover the foundations.

Does reading these replace a course?

No. An article answers one question; a course builds a skill and gives you feedback on your own hands. They are different things.

Blog

These are guides that answer specific questions: what a product category actually does, how to do something step by step, and what to know before an appointment or before signing up for a course.

Four families

The blog divides into four groups, and each answers a different kind of question.

Products and tools — what each category does and where money is worth spending
How-to guides — doing a specific thing step by step
Service and courses — what to know before booking or enrolling
Seasonal and trends — what changes each year and what does not

Why there are no brand names

Not one article names a brand. That is deliberate: naming a brand is either paid promotion or an invented recommendation, and both cost the reader something.

Useful advice is about what a category of product does and when it is worth buying. That information is complete without a brand, and it does not go stale when a particular product leaves the market — which most do.

Who writes these

The articles are written by a working makeup artist who sees clients and teaches. That matters: the advice rests on what does and does not hold up in actual appointments rather than on what reads well.

Every article carries a byline and a date. When something genuinely changes — as it does in the seasonal pieces — the date changes with it.

Where to start

If you are starting from nothing, three articles are the most useful: preparing skin for makeup, the starter kit, and common mistakes.

If you have one specific question — why makeup slides, how to match foundation — go straight to that article. Each one stands on its own and none assumes you read the others.
