HOW DO I CARE FOR MY LIPSTICK?

Whoever said that cosmetics should be stacked on the dressing table or in bathroom cabinets? Like other durable commodities, make-up accessories too have their own shelf life and must be protected and stocked carefully in hygienic containers/surrounding for future use.

. Storing make-up, especially lipstick is of importance because lipsticks are affected by heat and moisture. During hot weather put all lipsticks in a plastic bag and store them in the refrigerator. At moderate temperatures, the lipstick can be stored in the dresser.

. A greasy lipstick indicates that the oils have started separating and it is about time that one stops using it.

. Clean make-up brushes at least twice a month by washing them with warm soapy water to which a few drops of antiseptic have been added. Rinse and wipe clean with a towel or tissue. Dry thoroughly before reusing them.

. Sharpen lip pencils regularly and always cap the heads.

. A drawer in the dresser can be compartmentalized to hold different items, so locating them becomes as easy task.
