The MakeupAlley Ranking is computed based among other factors on the number of reviews and ratings posted by our members using a proprietary algorithm that eliminates biased posts. This allows us to achieve a fair ranking system that excludes artificial posts designed to manipulate the rankings. We also continuously review and revise our ranking algorithm.
