SPONSORED / PAID ARTICLES
Collaborations HECK YES, payments for favorable reviews HECK NO. As a working, professional makeup artist, Makeup to Go founder Tania D. Russell has many brand relationships for which she has received gratis product, and she is currently a Brand Educator for Pigment Cosmetics for which she is paid and receives gratis product in order to teach classes. Payment in exchange for favorable product reviews, however, undermines Makeup to Go’s mission to provide unbiased reviews based on the things we as professionals actually love and use on a regular basis.
Sponsored collaborations such as campaigns or initiatives? Possibly. The right project could be super fun, as long as it does not require writing a fake review of any kind, smearing another brand, or any other such inauthentic content that would undermine the credibility of the artists involved in this site. The artist/contributors of Makeup to Go! are uniquely qualified to offer expertise to campaigns and consumer events pertaining to cosmetics and beauty.
As of this update (9/26/2024) no Makeup to Go posts of any kind have ever been sponsored.

Editor’s Note: Don’t get me wrong; I love perfumes and housewares. If you just want to send them to me, that’s great! I shout out random products I like all the time on Instagram.
That said, Makeup to Go Blog reviews are based on items the Makeup to Go Experts and Contributors are likely to use in our jobs as professional makeup artists. All of our reviews are honest assessments of a products’ performance after being used in a “real world” application. Therefore – while we are not into scathing, negative reviews – we cannot guarantee a product will receive a positive review. We can guarantee that items we choose to review will receive a fair assessment by working professionals.

Russell have any authority by which to offer any sort of Certification other than a Certification of Completion of a Makeup to Go Course. Makeup to Go’s Certificate of Completion is in no way a diploma or a license. Neither Diplomas for study nor Licenses for practice can be issued by an individual. In the State of California Diplomas and Licenses can only be earned and issued by attending and completing coursework at an appropriately accredited, State licensed school. Information on accredited post-secondary education in California can be found at Bureau of Private Post-Secondary Education, and information on Licensing can be found at Department of Consumer Affairs – Board of Barbering and Cosmetology which is where one gets a Cosmetology license in California (necessary for any type of salon job and some personal services jobs in California.
