The beauty & style journal

The essentials

Choose products you actually use and assess foundation in daylight.

Where to start

Choose the required function before shade or texture. Plan removal at purchase; long-wear makeup needs a suitable removal method.

Start with habits you enjoy rather than a compulsory shopping list.

Test shade, finish and comfort rather than trusting the bottle.

Match removal to the makeup worn and product instructions.

These guides offer general reference points. Style choices are personal; skin or scalp problems need appropriate professional advice.
