Anyways, so over the last few months my make-up routine has changed. Drastically. I'll go over it more later so look forward to that, but right now, I've got something else to talk to you guys about. So recently my friend got a really bad infection from her mascara because she kept it too long. I though everyone knew when to get rid of their make-up but I guess not. So here's some bullets to show you when to get rid of your makeup to avoid infection-
- Liquid/cream foundation- 2 years (I have yet to make my foundation last that long...)
- concealer- 2 years (again, never made my concealer last that long)
- Powder- 2 years (not even gonna say it this time ^^)
- Mascara- 6 months
- lipstick- 12 to 18 months
- lip/eye liner- 12 to 18 months
- eye shadow- 2 years
- powder/cream blush- 2 years
- moisturizer- 2 years
- eye cream (correcter)- 6 months
- sunscreen- 2 years ( I don't actually wear sunscreen all year, just in the summer. My foundation, BB cream, and concealer all have SPF in them. In the fall, spring, and winter, I use a non scented lotion with SPF 15 for the rest of my body. Wearing SPF will prevent your skin from discoloration and keep it moist and soft)
- face cream (BB cream, AA cream, CC cream; etc etc)- 2 years
Another thing that I want to go over, is brushes. You know when you buy things like blush (pressed) and eye shadow, and they have those lil brushes with 'em? Get rid of 'em. They weren't designed to apply makeup, that's why brushes are especially made for some products. You should be able to find brushes in the makeup aisle.
applying concealer- NEVER under ANY circumstances should you EVER put concealer over a blemish. People drive me up the wall when they put concealer on a blemish. NO NO NO! Concealer wasn't meant to cover up a blemish. It was designed to correct discoloration under your eyes. It's not heavy enough to cover a blemish, and after a few hours it'll start to melt, and actually highlight your blemish. So don't do it.
applying foundation and other face creams- I cringe everytime I see someone apply foundation and face creams such as BB cream with their fingers. When you apply foundation with your fingers, you mix it with all the amino and fatty acids on your hands that can cause breakouts. Use brushes!!!!!!!! Or makeup sponges. (I call them makeup cakes c:) I'd perfer to use brushes over sponges because sponges soak up a lot of your foundation, which wastes a lot of it. But brushes are designed to absorb as little as possible, and only absorb enough so that your makeup doesnt cake.
