As spring is definitely in the air and we start to spring clean so too should we with our makeup bag.
So shake up that makeup bag and look at what you are not using and also how long the product has been kicking around, especially the mascara which is a magnet for bacteria, remember mascara has a 3 month life-span.
A top tip for keeping your mascara a bacteria free zone is to not don’t pump the wand as it takes in all the air partials flying around, take a look at the PAO (Period After Opening) Symbol and we bet you will be amazed at how long you have had your mascara?
Some new Mascaras on counter this season Estee Lauder’s New Sumptuous Infinite-Daring length and volume, a wow Mascara Lancôme’s Hypnose Star-Show stopping eyes and ultra glam.
And next, your foundation, look around the bottle top and the rim of your foundation, a quick wipe each time will keep it in tip top condition.
When you pour the liquid out and you think it’s too much and try to put it back in the bottle just think again of all that bacteria that you are gathering, try use a pump dispenser or if your favourite foundation doesn’t come in a pump, pour a small amount onto your hand and apply with a brush, a little goes a long way and gradually build it up slowly, so there is less wastage!
For block foundation make sure you are cleaning the sponge, if you think about it, any oil from the face going onto the sponge and back on to the face can lead to blocked pores and we all know what that means – Blemishes, Check out new B.B All Day Glow from Estee Lauder for your spring summer look.
Don’t forget your brushes, either use a makeup brush cleanser or a gentle shampoo, such as a baby shampoo will do the trick, massage cleanser through brushes to dissolve all the product build up, don’t overload with water but enough to clean, you will feel when this is done and leave to dry flat, I find overnight is best.
Look at Clinique’s Brush Cleanser.
And finally look at your eye and lip pencils, here’s a top tip for you always try to sharpen after each use as this keeps them clean as well.
