Make a list.
Make a list of all your beauty products and tools, including what you have and how much you have. You'll be surprised at how much you have and how much you don't use anymore. You should put things on your vanity table that show how you feel and what you want to do with your life. Will you no longer work in a building like an office? Then you might not need to keep all the professional makeup palettes you used to use. Or, vice versa. When you take stock of your life every so often, you'll be able to see clearly what you want to keep and what you want to change to become a new person.
Keep it fresh
You shouldn't feel bad about throwing away makeup, tools, and other things that didn't work for you. If you keep things moving and keep adding new tools and products to your life, you'll wonder why you used the same old things for so long. Think of the money as a way to find out what works and what doesn't. It was well worth every penny you spent. So go ahead and throw away your broken makeup and brushes by putting them in a plastic bag. You shouldn't keep old things or even new things that don't work for you. You need to move on and get rid of the stuck energy. Then you can start over, thinking and taking care of yourself differently.
Blush and eye shadow in one.
Make sure the makeup you wear helps you and doesn't hurt you. If you like a certain color of makeup a lot, you can use it on your face in different ways. Either a cream or a powder can be used to put color on the forehead, eyes, and cheeks. You can even swipe color down the bridge of your nose for a sun-kissed look. You can put blush and eyeshadow on both your cheeks and your eyes. You won't have to buy different products for each part of your face. This will save you time and money.
That Lipstick That Does Two Jobs,
You can put a little bit of your favorite lipstick color on your cheeks and then blend it out with a thin liquid foundation. But some experts say that lipstick around the eyes is not a good idea. Some ingredients shouldn't be used around the eyes because they can get into the eye as the makeup settles or as the day goes on if you have oily skin. It depends on the makeup and whether the box says it's safe to use around the eyes. If you're worried about putting things around your eyes that weren't made for that, talk to a professional.
Don't Throw Away Makeup Wands
Have you ever bought a new mascara that you liked, but didn't like the brush that came with it?
Some of them have big brushes that put more mascara on the eyelid than on the lashes, or they are so curved and arched that they are hard to use.
Don't get rid of the mascara wands and brushes you use most. If it came from a tube of waterproof mascara, soak the brush in liquid waterproof makeup remover and then rinse it in tap water. To get rid of regular mascara, use any liquid makeup remover and then rinse with tap water. Let them dry in the air overnight. Put your favorite brushes in a brush holder, and when you buy a new mascara, you can use them with it. Keep them away from your other makeup brushes so that the mascara doesn't get on the clean brushes you use for other makeup.
Is Mascara Dried Up?
You might sometimes have trouble with dry or clumpy mascara. Don't throw it away just yet. Any grocery store or drug store will sell saline solution. Just put a few drops of mascara in the tube, close it, and shake it. It will get rid of the dry mascara and make it smooth again. If you use too much saline, the mascara will become liquid and run down your eyelashes and onto your face, where it won't stay.
Is Gel Eyeliner Dried Up?
Does your gel eyeliner dry up before you can use it all? Do you want to get the last bit out of the container? Every time you open the lid to use it, air will start to dry it out before it's ready.
Mix in a little eyeshadow primer and move it around with your eyeliner brush until the primer is gone. From what I've seen, the gel eyeliner won't change color, and you shouldn't see any color. I buy an eyeshadow primer in a medium skin tone, squeeze it into the gel eyeliner bottle, move it around with the eyeliner brush, and then use it as eyeliner or to blend eyeshadow. You'll see that it goes on as smoothly and silkily as the first time you used it.
Shopping in the Clearance Bin,
do not pass over the clearance sections in drug stores, specialty cosmetic shops, and discount stores. It's a great idea to get some basic items from those bins or shelves where things are on sale. It will let you try a new brand or product that you probably wouldn't buy at full price.
When you buy a bunch of lipsticks in different colors, the prices are usually cut by at least half of what they would normally be. The same is true for mascara, eyeshadow, and some types of foundation. When you get home, pick up a few things and put them in small baskets by type. Put them on your table where you do your makeup and enjoy the variety.
Write down the brand name and color of something you really like. It might be worth it to buy it when it is first sold.
Makeup Palettes
Instead of buying eyeshadows and blushes separately, you can save a lot of money by buying makeup palettes at discount stores. Then you can try out different colors and textures, like metallic, matte, and glossy, to see what works and what doesn't. Then you may concentrate on an eyeshadow or blush color and texture that you like and just purchase a few products that you know will work for you. The same is true for lipstick palettes, which allow you to test out several types of lipstick, such as glossy, matte, or sheer, to find what works best for you. Then you can just buy what you want and go with your own personal style.
Products that have not been tested on animals
Companies that claim their cosmetics have not been tested on animals should be avoided. The reason for this is that some corporations send their goods to other companies or laboratories for animal testing, which is not a pun. Even though the parent firm claims it does not test on animals, this might be because it outsources the testing to other parties. If you don't agree with animal testing for cosmetics, read the labels and disclaimers carefully before you purchase anything.
