One address, and I am the person reading it. Most things get an answer, though it can take a week or two.

What helps me answer

What you have already tried, what happened, and what you were hoping would happen instead. Those three things settle more questions than a photograph does. A message that says my eyeliner keeps smudging, I use a pencil, and it is gone by lunch is one I can actually answer. If a question turns out to be one a lot of people are asking, it may become an article, and I will tell you before that happens.

What I cannot do

I cannot tell you your undertone from a description, cannot match a foundation shade remotely, and do not take paid consultations. I have not seen your face in daylight and would be guessing alongside you. Anything to do with skin that is sore, reacting, or breaking out belongs with a doctor rather than in my inbox.

Corrections

If something here is wrong, say so and show me why. A technique I described badly is worth more to me than a compliment, and the fix goes on the page with a note about what changed.

Brands and PR

There are no sponsored articles dressed up as ordinary ones and no paid placements in any list. Read the affiliate disclosure and the editorial policy before sending anything. Receiving a product does not commit me to covering it, to liking it, or to writing about it kindly.

Using what is here

Quote a paragraph and link back, no permission needed. Republishing a whole article needs asking first.
