About MakeupCast
Our Mission
MakeupCast provides daily, weather-based makeup guidance to help you look and feel confident regardless of environmental conditions. We combine real-time weather data with evidence-based beauty recommendations to create personalized daily plans.
Our Methodology
Our recommendations are based on established dermatological and cosmetic science principles:
- UV Protection: SPF recommendations follow WHO UV Index guidelines and dermatological best practices
- Humidity Response: Product selection based on how different formulations perform in various humidity levels (≤40%, 40-70%, ≥70%)
- Temperature Considerations: Heat-resistant formulas recommended for temperatures ≥30°C based on cosmetic stability research
- Precipitation Planning: Waterproof and transfer-resistant recommendations when rain probability ≥40%
Data Sources
We use reliable, professional-grade data sources:
- Weather Data: OpenWeather One Call API 3.0 - updated multiple times daily
- UV Index: Real-time UV measurements following WHO standards
- Product Information: Verified through manufacturer specifications and user reviews
