]]>Try to Declutter
Kick off your decluttering journey by making a list of all the products you already have. Ditch the expired ones, and focus on only keeping the products you’re using regularly since they’re realistically the only ones you need.
Multitasking Products
When shopping for new makeup, try to focus on versatile products that can serve multiple purposes. Eyeshadow palettes with a wide range of colors are a good place to start, especially the ones with both neutral and shimmery shades that you can use as a highlighter, brow powders, and countering tools.
No Duplicates
Avoid having multiple products that serve the same purpose in your collection. Instead of buying a new product in a similar color and style that you already have, consider sticking to the one that works.
No Impulse Purchases
Even after carefully organizing your existing makeup collection, impulse purchases can ruin all your hard work. Think twice before buying new makeup and try to focus on the products that you really need.

]]>Possible Breakouts
Leaving makeup on during the night is an open invitation for bacteria, clogged pores, and breakouts because you’re not allowing your skin to breathe.
Dry Skin
Your skin will look and feel dry if you have a habit of leaving your makeup on before hitting the sheets. Leftover residue minimizes the effects of your moisturizer.
Dull Complexion
Taking makeup off is a must because skin repairs and renews itself overnight. Leaving makeup on will hinder the renewal process, giving your skin a dull complexion.
Aging Effect
Leaving makeup on while you sleep can cause signs of aging, leading to the faster development of lines and wrinkles. When you don’t take your makeup off, dirt and pollution are building on your skin, making it more difficult to renew itself.
Eye Infections
Leaving your mascara or fake lashes on during the night also isn’t the best idea because it can lead to itchiness, eye irritation, and even infections, such as eyelid cysts.

]]>Drugstore Brands and Sales
You don’t have to buy makeup from high-end brands to look good. Generic drugstore brands shouldn’t be overlooked, so do some research to discover cheap drugstore brands of good quality. Also, try to buy makeup products on sale whenever possible to avoid spending a fortune.
Quality Staples
If you insist on spending on high-end products, focus on buying quality staples that you’re using on a regular basis. Good foundation, mascara, and lipstick are worth investing in, and so are certain skincare products, such as make-up removers and moisturizers. Also, consider picking up free makeup samples whenever possible because they’re amazing money-saver.
No Impulse Purchases
Impulse purchases can derail your budget, especially if you have a habit of spending on pricy makeup products. Before buying a brand-new makeup palette or a lip kit, ask yourself if you really need them. If you already have these products in your makeup bag and aren’t using them on a regular basis, you’re better off without them.

]]>Mascara
Sharing makeup products that come in close contact with eyes with other people is best avoided. Mascaras are the best example and you should stick to using your own because they can harbor bacteria and viruses that can lead to eye infections when shared.
Makeup Brushes and Sponges
It’s a good idea to invest in your own set of makeup brushes and sponges and never share them with anyone else. These makeup tools can accumulate a lot of oils, impurities, and bacteria from the skin over time, and it’s highly recommended to clean them up on a regular basis even if you’re the only one using them – as you should be!
Lip Products
Sharing lipsticks, lip glosses, and lip balms with other people also isn’t such a great idea. By passing these products from one person to another, you’ll also cause all the germs accumulated on their surface to do the same, so it’s best to stick to using your own.
