base · layer weight 1

Multipurpose complexion stick

Base and contour where you actually need it.

Layer weight · A film is one continuous layer sitting on the skin. Layer weight is the 0–3 opacity this object adds.

The catalog behind every score on this desk is editorial estimate on a published scale, not laboratory measurement. The scale says what each number is supposed to mean and names an object holding each level, so a figure can be argued with — but no figure here was measured, and none carries a citation. The scale is published in full.

50 is neutral: nothing known for it, nothing known against it. Everything above and below is listed under the score.

  • Delivers close to the desk's default coverage — set yours and this line becomes personal rather than assumed.
  • The catalog prior flags more movement or patchiness pressure on oilier zones.
Evidence · signed weights (they add up to 40)
  • +50 · Neutral start — Every product type starts here. Above 50 the model has more reasons for it; below, more reasons against.
  • -4 · Film cost — Every unit of modeled opacity load costs points.
  • -3 · Sebum behavior — How this texture is modeled against combination skin — the desk's assumption, not your answer.
  • -2 · Coverage match — Delivers 35 against an assumed appetite of 30.
  • -1 · Scale and rounding — Each weight is rounded to a whole point, and the score is held inside 0–100. This row is the difference, so the column adds up to the score the rest of the desk shows. It is not a reason for or against the product.
