  • If your liquid cosmetics (such as foundation or mascara) start to get chunky, soak the sealed container in hot water for 5 minutes to get more life out of it. Or you can add a little water and shake it up to get a few more uses.
  • Lipstick down to just a nub or broken? Paint the rest on with a lip brush.
  • With tubes of concealer, for example, when most of the product’s gone cut off the end of the tube to get at the rest inside.
  • Never underestimate the power of cotton swabs – they’ll get into those hard-to-reach container corners.
  • Down-and-out makeup brushes can have a second life as keyboard dusters, paintbrushes, even tools for gluing.

Here are some benefits: Not breaking the bank. Most women spend about $100 per month on cosmetics and beauty products; these tips help lower your average. And, less hurt to the planet. Using every last bit averts waste – and the energy and resources used for new products.
