Editorial Governance & Provenance
About Make & Up Pigment Lab
Make & Up is an independent cosmetic pigment chemistry, CIE Lab colorimetry, and emulsion compatibility publication documenting how iron oxides, ultramarines, volatile silicones, and sunscreen film-formers behave on human skin.
Historical Domain Provenance & Non-Impersonation Disclosure
From 2015 through 2021, make-and-up.com operated as an independent Russian-and-English beauty, skincare, and shopping blog founded and authored by Yuliia. Between 2022 and 2025, the domain lapsed from active editorial publishing.
In November 2026, the domain was acquired and relaunched under independent editorial stewardship as a cosmetic pigment chemistry and colorimetry publication. To preserve link integrity for external readers, libraries, and skincare communities referencing historical beauty reviews, clean editorial routes from that era redirect cleanly to corresponding topical laboratory sections and archival Russian formulation notes.
Strict Non-Impersonation Statement: Current Make & Up editors do not represent, speak for, or maintain any personal, legal, or commercial affiliation with the original 2015-2021 blog author (Yuliia), nor are we endorsed by, partnered with, or sponsored by DECIEM / Estee Lauder Companies (The Ordinary, NIOD), Glossier, Cult Beauty, Feelunique, Space NK, Lookfantastic, Laura Mercier, Hourglass, Chanel, or Cover FX.

| 2015 - 2021 | Bilingual RU/EN beauty blog covering DECIEM, LED masks, and European retail hauls | Founded and authored independently by Yuliia | Preserved as non-commercial reference digests via single-hop 301 #archive anchors |
| 2022 - 2025 | Domain expiration and parking gap | Inactive; third-party automated queries blocked | Residual spam/parking URLs isolated with permanent HTTP 410 Gone responses |

Laboratory Independence, Citation Routing & Spam Isolation
Make & Up accepts zero paid brand placements, affiliate commissions, PR gifting, or sponsored reviews. Every CIE L*a*b* coordinate, refractive index entry, and polymer pilling matrix on this domain is compiled from peer-reviewed optical physics, EU CosIng regulatory annexes, U.S. 21 CFR Part 73 colorant monographs, and standardized 45/0 spectrophotometer bench runs described on our CIE D65 Methodology page.
To protect historical reference integrity without diluting topical quality, legacy 2015-2021 blog slugs covering DECIEM, mineral powders, skincare sequencing, and European retail guides resolve via single-hop 301 redirects to their dedicated laboratory archive anchors, whereas unrelated expired-domain spam, parking queries, and automated CMS probes return permanent HTTP 410 Gone status codes.
