How to Properly Sort and Clean Your Makeup?

Lipsticks, eye shadows, foundations ... Make-up products accumulate at home. Want to sort through your makeup kit and clean your accessories? Follow the guide!

1.Discard the superfluous

Start by pulling all your products out of the drawers and spreading them on a table. Varnish, blush, eyeshadow, everything must be there so that you can become aware of the cosmetics you have. It is even possible that you find products that you had forgotten! Then sort them by family. On one side, polishes, on the other lipsticks, mascaras, etc ... Then attack one of these categories and proceed in stages.

For your sort to be effective, you have to ask the right questions. What products do you use every day? These are the wholesale makeup products that are part of your beauty routine: they are indispensable and you must keep them.

Which ones are worn occasionally? Bright colors, glitter, evening makeup: you rarely use them. Ask yourself these questions for all the cosmetic families you have: this will make sorting easier.

2.Get rid of expired products

The cosmetics can expire! Knowing the ideal shelf life is simple. Just look at your potty: a pictogram tells you the number of months before the quality of the cosmetic degrades, once opened.

Some of your products are gone? Do not take a risk using them and throw them away.

3.Clean brushes and accessories

A beautiful make-up is realized with clean accessories. If they are not washed regularly enough, your makeup brushes can become bacteria nests. The ideal would be to clean them every day! In a hurry, you may be out of time. The solution? Wash them thoroughly once a week.

You have several options to get rid of all the impurities. You can use a classic soap. Just wet your brush and rub it with the soap before rinsing it with water and drying it with a bath towel. You can also opt for no-rinse cleaning sprays specially designed for brushes and other makeup sponges. They are sold in cosmetics stores or in supermarkets. Another solution: silicone gloves! Very effective, they allow washing brushes quickly.
