If you really want to get more bang for your buck, here are a couple of penny-pinching tricks:
- Combine equal parts foundation and moisturizer to create a lightweight tinted moisturizer that will leave you dewy and your pockets fuller!
- Use your foundation as a concealer: dab extra product onto problem spots and let it almost dry for a minute or so before carefully blending out the edges.
- Use your lipstick as a cheek stain: lightly dab some lipstick onto your fingertips and blend onto the tops of your cheekbones in a circular motion.
- Freeze your eyeliner for a few minutes before using it to minimize breakage.
- Keep all lids tightly sealed and your makeup in a cool, dry place: NOT the bathroom! The moisture in the air will erode your products faster.
