Cotton wool buds
We love
these little balls of magic as they have multiple purposes, one being to help
you extract the last tiny bit of your favourite lipstick from the bottom of the
container, ready to apply.
The pain of the powder crack
Don’t you hate
it when your favourite powder or eye shadow breaks into pieces? And from then
on it’s a pain to use, so we end up buying a new one. Luckily there’s a simple
way to fix this, just add a few drops of alcohol and press the pieces back together
and it will reset back to normal.
Cool it
During the
summer, a great idea is to keep your eyeliner in the fridge, not to eat later
as a snack but to prevent it from becoming too soft and unusable.
Face cream
Most of us
can admit to using too much foundation throughout the day via touching up our
makeup. One way to prevent this and help your foundation last longer, is to
dilute it with your favourite face cream which also helps to hydrate your skin.
Perfume
Perfume
lasts longer on skin that is oily, so to maximise this just simply apply a
little baby oil onto your skin before spraying, so you’ll be able to smell
beautiful throughout the day.
Vaseline
Buy products
that have more than one purpose, helping you save money. Vaseline is a prime example
of this! Another use of Vaseline is to spread over it to your eyelids before
applying eye shadow; which helps your eye shadow last all day.
Olive oil
Olive oil is
also fairly handy, just add a tiny bit to your mascara to get another weeks use
out of it.
Primer
Applying
primer onto your face before you apply your makeup is one way to help makeup
last longer, as you don’t need to keep retouching up your makeup throughout the
day as primer is a great way to keep your makeup looking flawless and intact.
Remember waste not,
want not even when it comes to your makeup
