1. Use a flat-tipped brush instead of your fingertip to apply concealer. You'll get a lot more control that way.2. Use a brush and powder instead of a pencil to line your eyes. It gives a softer look,, plus there's less tendency to stretch and pull the delicate skin around the eyes, which tends to lose collagen as we age. Powders also give you the option to creating smoky eyes that don't look so hard and edgy.
3. Keep your reusable sponges clean by washing them with mild soap and water, then air-drying them completely.
4. Do not use samples or testers at the beauty counter. Ask for a clean, unused applicator and apply makeup to your hand, not your face. One department store that tested its samples discovered that 5 percent of testers were infected with fungus and other contaminants.
5. Check your makeup bag every month and discard any makeup that has a rancid smell or has lost its consistency.
6. Try being creative with your brushes. For example, use a lip brush instead of a shadow brush to apply glitter around the eyes. The idea is to be as precise as possible, which is why a lip brush makes sense. The shape-small and pointy-is perfect for getting into tight spaces.
7. Wash your makeup bottles, jars, and tubes with disinfectant if they become dirty or dusty.
8. Discard eye cosmetics after six months, mascara after three.
9. Take a good care of your brushes. Wash natural-hair brushes in a gentle shampoo and warm water at least twice a month. There's no need to soak your brushes. Simply wet them under the tap, pour a little shampoo into the palm of your hand, and swish the brushes around in the lather. Rinse well and smooth out the bristles with your fingers. Let the brushes air-dry on a clean towel.
10. Keep in your purse compact, lipstick or lip gloss, mascara and blush are all you need to put a face together anywhere anytime
