Policies

Additionally, here are additional policies in place:

(1) ADVERTISING POLICY. Any advertisements, advertorials, sponsored content, and the like will be clearly marked as advertising content and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of Makeup Artistry, LLC, it’s owner(s), or the author of the content on or near which the advertising appears.

(2) COMMENT POLICY. The purpose of the comments section is to provide an area for discussion between authors, you, and other users. Discussion and debates are highly encouraged, and disagreements are expected and provide opportunities to create a fuller picture. As certain topics and comments can arouse passionate feelings on either side of the argument, all users and comments must adhere to community guidelines. These guidelines require that users participate in a civil, intelligent, and respectful manner.

Comments which do not add to the conversation (including, but not limited to, advertising, off-site links, and spam) or go on an inappropriate tangent may be edited, moved, or deleted. No personal attacks are permitted in the comments, whether towards the author, other community participants and members, or celebrities. Trolls and trolling comments will be not be permitted. The comments you leave should be constructive, helpful, or insightful–they add value to the conversation. If an otherwise intelligent, well-written comment is accompanied by personal attacks, condescension, ridicule, or other types of snark, it may be subject to modification or deletion. We reserve the right to remove, modify, or delete any comment that we, in our sole discretion, believe is a violation of this Comment Policy or these Terms of Use and we may further limit or block a user’s access to the Makeup Artistry Service.

Comments should be relevant to the post’s topic; off-topic questions or comments should be directed to original posts and/or through the contact form, such as unrelated product review requests (so that we can log the request properly), technical errors/support requests (so it goes directly to our developer!), or general feedback (so that we can address any comments you make one-on-one).

Please help us streamline the comments’ section and be more efficient: double-check the post for more basic information like pricing, availability, and so on to make sure your question wasn’t answered already. Comments alerting us to typos or small errors in the post are appreciated (!) but will typically be removed after errors are fixed (unless a response is needed). We appreciate enthusiasm for new releases but ask readers to please hold questions regarding if/when a review will be posted as we can’t commit to or guarantee product reviews. We do not want to set expectations and then disappoint readers as even products that are swatched don’t always end up being reviewed due to time constraints and changes in priorities–thank you for understanding!

Comments that contain self-promotion or promotion of other services or websites may be modified or deleted in our sole discretion. Self-promotion is limited to approved ways set forth by Makeup Artistry (such as links to social media accounts for registered users).

Once public, your comment is available for anyone to see and may be shared, copied, indexed, or archived.

Violation of the Comment Policy may result in your comment not being approved, or in limitation, suspension, or termination of your access to the Makeup Artistry Service.

(3) GIVEAWAY POLICY. Each giveaway includes a full set of terms and conditions, which can be accessed and read in the same post where one would enter. Unless otherwise specified, giveaways are decided by random draw using a random number generator. This blog currently uses third-party services to administer our giveaways. Winners will be contacted via the email provided in their entry and will have 48 hours to confirm receipt of prize, unless otherwise stated in the terms and conditions. Prizes take approximately six to eight weeks to be delivered.
