Complexion Compass is reader-supported. This page explains how affiliate links work on our site, in plain language.
What This Means
Some of the links on Complexion Compass are affiliate links. This means that if you click a link and make a qualifying purchase — for example through Amazon, Sephora, Ulta, or other retailers we link to — we may earn a commission from the retailer at no extra cost to you. You pay the same price you would pay otherwise.
How It Affects Our Content
Our recommendations are independent of commissions. We write guides to solve real beauty problems — finding the right foundation shade, fixing makeup that won’t last, understanding ingredients — and we recommend products based on research, not on which retailer pays the highest commission. Affiliate income helps us keep the site running and our guides free to read.
Transparency
We aim to be upfront about affiliate relationships. In addition to this page, we may include short disclosures near affiliate links in our content. If you ever have questions about how we fund the site, contact us through our Contact page.
