THE SHOPFEST STANDARD
A beauty link has to earn its place.
Every beauty recommendation must have a current exact retailer listing, a matching SKU, a retailer-sourced image, a clear routine role, and a candid watchout. We do not turn trend heat into medical promises.
01
Identity first
The photo, product, retailer, and destination must agree.
02
Context matters
We explain where a trend works and where it does not.
03
Buy with intent
Commission never decides what enters the edit.
