NARS Cosmetics Journal

Terms of Service

These terms set out the conditions for using nars-cosmetics.us. The site is operated by the editorial team of NARS Cosmetics Journal, 482 Broadway, Suite 3B, New York, NY 10013, USA. By using the site, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

About this site

This is an independent editorial journal about NARS makeup. It publishes informational guides, comparisons, and shade explanations. It is not affiliated with the brand, it is not a retailer, and it does not sell products or process orders.

Because the journal is written by readers for readers, we do not handle returns, exchanges, or order questions. Anything you buy is bought from the seller you choose, under that seller's own terms. If a page sends you to another site for a product detail, that site's rules apply once you arrive there.

The guides focus on how NARS beauty products behave in practice: how a blush builds, how a concealer sets, how a finish shifts under different light. We describe finishes, shade families, and routine order so you can compare options before you decide anything.

Acceptable use

You may read, quote briefly, and link to the content for personal and non-commercial purposes. You may not copy substantial portions of the site, republish guides as your own, scrape content at scale, or use the site in a way that interferes with other readers' access.

Quoting briefly means a sentence or two with a credit back to this site, the kind of reference you would make in a conversation or a class note. Republishing a full guide, or a long run of its sections, is outside what we allow, even with a credit.

Reading and referencing

Reading the guides, saving a page for yourself, and citing a short quote with a link back are all fine.

Copying at scale

Mirroring pages, running automated scrapers, or republishing whole guides as your own writing is not permitted.

Intellectual property

The text on this site is owned by the site operator unless stated otherwise. Product names and brand references belong to their respective owners and are used for identification and commentary. Nothing on this site grants you a licence to use any trademark beyond normal reference.

Normal reference means naming a product or line when you talk about it, the way a review or a comparison names what it discusses. It does not mean using a name on your own packaging, in a shop name, or in a way that suggests a partnership that does not exist.

What you read here is research and commentary, not a diagnosis, a prescription, or a promise about how a product will behave on your skin.

The same blush can look different depending on your undertone, the light in the room, and how much you build. We write to help you compare, not to decide for you.

No professional advice

Guides describe products, finishes, and routine approaches. They are not medical, dermatological, or professional advice. If you have a skin condition or a reaction to a product, consult a qualified professional. Product performance varies by individual and by how a product is applied.

That is why we never tell you what to put on your face. We explain what a texture does, how a shade family tends to read, and where a formula sits in a routine. The decision, and the patch test, stay with you.

Accuracy and updates

We work from published product descriptions and update guides when formulas or shade ranges change. Even so, product information can change without notice, and we cannot promise that every detail is current at the moment you read it.

Corrections sent through the contact page are welcome and are checked before any edit. If you spot a shade that has been discontinued or a finish we described inaccurately, tell us and we will look at it.

External links

The site may link to other websites for reference. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, availability, or privacy practices. Following an external link means leaving this site and accepting the terms of the site you reach.

We point outward only when a source helps you check a detail for yourself, such as a retailer listing or a brand page. Where that link goes next, and what it asks of you, is outside our control.

Limitation of liability

The site is provided on an "as is" basis. To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any loss arising from use of the site or from reliance on its content, including decisions about product purchases made elsewhere. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded by law.

In plain words: use the guides to inform your own judgment, and keep your purchase decisions, and their consequences, with the seller you bought from.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms when our practices or legal requirements change. The current version always appears on this page. Continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised terms.

When a change affects what you may do with our guides, we re-read the affected sections and rewrite them rather than leaving a note at the top. The date on this page moves forward with each review.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute arising from use of the site is subject to the jurisdiction of the courts located in New York.

The journal is edited in New York and written for readers across the United States, so the terms follow the law of the place where the site is operated.

Contact

Questions about these terms can go through the contact page, or by phone at +1-212-555-0198 during business hours Eastern Time. If your question is about a shade, a finish, or how a product wears, the guides are usually the faster answer.
