Less is more

Quick tip; don’t wear makeup everyday, save your products for special occasions. Don’t overdo it when you apply makeup.  Use less makeup and save money.

You only need one coat of mascara and one coat of blush to last the entire day.

Fix broken makeup

If you break an eye shadow kit, or crack the lid of a compact, you don’t have to throw the product away. Instead, scrape the remains of the product into a tiny jar or box with a lid, and continue to reuse the product.

Shop during discount time

Most companies offer discount sales during festive occasions. This is the best opportunity to fill up your makeup kits.

Consider expiration dates

If you buy makeup, make sure you can use it before the expiration date.  Check for expiration dates when buying makeup products.
