Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: 2026.

The short version

Some outbound links on this site are affiliate links. If you buy through one, the seller may pay us a commission. It never costs you anything extra, and it never changes what we recommend.

Things that never happen here

Nobody buys a good review from us. Nobody buys a higher spot on a list. We publish no rating we did not calculate, no award nobody gave, no testimonial nobody wrote, and no claim of having used something we only researched — if it cannot be checked, it comes out of the draft.

Where the picks come from

From the problem, not from the commission. We look at what people are trying to solve in makeup brushes and blending tools, research it against public documentation and user feedback, and only then find out whether anything on the list happens to pay.

Our own products

We also publish paid guides of our own. They are sold under the name BrushBible and are always presented as what they are — something we made and are selling — never slipped into a list as if a third party had earned the spot.

What it is not

That every link is a paid one. Most of them pay nothing at all, and they are in the article because they were the right thing to point at — not because someone was running a programme.

Ask us

If you want to know whether a particular link earns us anything, ask through our contact page and we will tell you straight.
