Eyeshadow sanitization is a must! So to disinfect your eye shadow palette, skim the top layer by rubbing alcohol or use anti-bacterial makeup removing wipes, and let it dry. This is one way of protecting your eye shadows. Also, prohibit from sharing makeup, especially while being sick.
USE A SPATULA INSTEAD OF YOUR FINGERS
De-pot makeup products on a palette and use a small spatula rather than using a finger for applying makeup. These are readily available and are widely used by Makeup Artists.
SWIPE YOUR LIPSTICKS CLEAN
Lipsticks can also be a breeding ground for bacteria, so pour small amounts of rubbing alcohol or anti-bacterial makeup removing wipes and let it dry. This would make sure that the lipstick remains in good shape.
REVIVE YOUR FAVOURTIE PRODUCTS
A really good sharpener will save pencils from looking blunt and dirty. If the tip is really soft, chill it in the refrigerator for a half hour before sharpening it.
STORAGE
Keep all your makeup in a cool and dry environment. It is recommended that they should not be placed in unsanitary places like a bathroom shelf where the warm, damp air will deteriorate it. In addition, do not let your makeup meltdown on a sunny day or let it freeze in the cold weather, since the emulsification will break down, and the product won’t have that smooth and shiny consistency.
