Beauty Tools Guide is reader-supported. Some of the links on this site are affiliate links, which means we may earn a small commission when you click through and make a purchase — at no extra cost to you.

This page explains, in plain language, how those links work and how we keep our recommendations honest. Beauty Tools Guide is operated by Rankopath.com, based in the United States.

What affiliate links are

An affiliate link is a special tracking link to a product on a retailer's website. If you click one and buy something, the retailer pays us a small percentage of the sale as a referral fee. The price you pay is exactly the same whether you use our link or not — the commission comes out of the retailer's margin, not your pocket.

Programs we participate in

We take part in several affiliate programs and networks, including the Amazon Associates Program and other retailer and brand programs. When you see a "check price" button or a product link on our site, it may be an affiliate link.

Our recommendations stay independent

This is the part that matters most: commissions never influence what we recommend. We don't claim to test tools ourselves — instead, we research and analyse real buyer reviews, expert roundups, and community feedback, then recommend what the evidence supports. A higher commission never earns a product a better score, a higher ranking, or a kinder write-up. If the budget option is the smart buy, we'll say so.

Sponsored content and advertising

Separately from affiliate links, we also run advertising and sponsored content. Any sponsored post or paid placement is clearly labelled, and paid arrangements are kept completely separate from our independent reviews and rankings. You can read more on our Contact & Advertising page.

Prices and availability

Prices, discounts, and availability shown on this site can change at any time and may differ from what you see at checkout. Always confirm the current price and details on the retailer's own website before buying.

Thank you

When you buy through our links, you help us keep researching tools and publishing free, honest guides. We genuinely appreciate your support — it's what keeps Beauty Tools Guide running.
