Buying make-up may seem straightforward, but online you often see little more than claims about colour, promises of long-lasting results and eye-catching packaging. The most important information is usually in the specifications: shade, volume, finish, formula and intended use. Use this practical guide to compare foundation, concealer, lip products and make-up sets without relying on marketing language alone.
Names such as “Ivory”, “Almond Rose” or “Cotton” don’t always tell you enough about the undertone and intensity. For example, a light foundation shade may have a pink, neutral or yellow undertone. So always check:
What you see on screen is always a limited guide when shopping online. Use product photos as a reference, but base your choice mainly on the description and the official shade name.
A brand may describe a product as long-lasting, waterproof or smudge-proof. These are product claims, not a guarantee for every user or circumstance. The product description or the brand’s own research may state a particular wear time. Your skin type, preparation, the temperature and how much product you apply can all affect the result.
A matte foundation may feel comfortable on oily skin, but less so on dry skin. A lip tint may leave behind colour, while a lip gloss mainly adds a shiny layer. So look at the formula and intended use rather than relying solely on the promised wear time.
A cheaper pack isn’t necessarily good value if it contains very little product or you rarely use it. Compare the volume: for example, 20 or 30 ml for foundation and a few grams for lip or powder products. Also check the period after opening, often shown with a symbol such as 6M. The exact information is on the packaging.
Hygiene is especially important with eye products such as eyeliner and mascara. Close the packaging properly and don’t share these products. Stop using them if irritation occurs, and follow the safety instructions on the label.
Foundation and concealer are often described using terms such as light, medium or full coverage. These are useful pointers, but the final coverage depends on how much you apply and how you blend it.
The product information describes Maybelline Fit Me Foundation in shade 115 Ivory as a liquid foundation with light to medium coverage and a matte finish. The pack contains 30 ml. A cushion foundation, such as rom&nd Nu Zero Cushion 03 Natural 21, comes with a compact, puff and mirror, which can be handy for touch-ups on the go.
Liquid foundation applies differently from compact face powder. A cream concealer may blend smoothly, while a lightweight liquid may require less product for targeted coverage. When shopping, check the following:
Claims such as “dermatologically tested”, “vegan” or “paraben-free” should come from the product information. They don’t automatically mean a product is suitable for everyone.
Choose products to suit your routine. A concealer is designed for targeted coverage, while foundation is applied all over the face. Blush adds colour to the cheeks, contour powder creates shadow and highlighter accentuates the high points of your face.
There are clear differences between lip gloss, lip tint, lipstick and lip balm:
Why it suits this profile: The set combines a 6 g blush with a multi-purpose brush. It’s a straightforward way to get started with everyday make-up, and suits anyone who’d also like to apply bronzer or highlighter.
You’re not just buying a colour product without a tool: the set lists both the blush and the brush, as well as their intended use.
Warm pink shade; synthetic brush; suitable for blush, bronzer and highlighter according to the product description.
Why it suits this profile: This compact concealer is a good option if you want targeted coverage and value a creamy texture more than a large volume.
The 1,3 ml volume is clearly stated. That lets you compare the amount with the price in advance, rather than choosing based on the brand alone.
Medium to full coverage according to the product description; creamy, blendable texture; designed for targeted concealing.
Why it suits this profile: If you often create a complete eye look, this set lets you choose both eyeliner and mascara in one go. It works for everyday make-up as well as party looks.
The product description mentions a fine eyeliner tip and mascara with lengthening, volumising and curling effects. Always check the warnings and stop using the products if irritation occurs.
Two eye products in one set; described as waterproof and smudge-resistant in the product information; fine brush tip for precise lines.
Why it suits this profile: The warm pink shade and glossy finish are ideal if you’re after a wash of colour with a lighter feel, for everyday wear or an evening look.
The shade, finish and formula are clearly specified. This makes it easier to compare the product with lip gloss, lipstick or lip balm.
Warm pink Almond Rose shade; lightweight, non-sticky formula according to the product description; glossy finish.
We’ve put together a complete, up-to-date list of products that meet these strict selection criteria and comply with current European safety regulations.
Start with a base that suits your skin and the finish you want. Then apply concealer only where you need extra coverage. If you like, set it with face powder, then add blush, contour powder or highlighter. For your eyes, you can choose eyeliner and mascara. Finish with a lip tint, lip gloss, lipstick or NYX lip balm.
Read the ingredients, warnings and instructions for each product. Take extra care if you have known sensitivities to fragrance, colourants or other ingredients. Brand claims, such as hydration or a particular wear time, are based on the brand’s information and may vary from person to person.
Foundation or cushion foundation, concealer, blush, mascara and a lip product are usually enough. Add face powder if you want to reduce shine in specific areas. A make-up set can be handy if you want to buy several products in the same style.
It varies by product. Check the period-after-opening symbol and the information on the packaging. Liquid eye make-up needs extra care because it comes into contact with your eyes. Store make-up in a dry place, close the packaging properly and stop using a product if its smell, colour or texture changes noticeably.
Compare the shade name, undertone and descriptions of several products. Also consider the finish and coverage. For example, Maybelline Foundation 115 Ivory won’t necessarily match another foundation called Ivory. So always check the brand, formula and shade separately.
