When to Spend and to Save on Makeup

Got a few extra bucks to blow on beauty? Use it on these products:

Foundation and Concealer

If you want to look like you’re not wearing any makeup, finding your perfect match is worth every cent. “Prestige brands have a larger shade range with varying undertones and tend to contain more natural-looking pigments,” says Tina Turnbow, a celebrity makeup artist for drugstore.com.

Eye Shadow

“All powders are not created equal,” says celebrity makeup artist Scott Barnes. Quality formulas are finely milled so they feel ultra-soft going on and the hues stay vibrant without creasing.

Lipstick

“High-end lipsticks often contain more pigment, so the color adheres to your lips longer,” says makeup artist Tiffany Bartok. With pricier lipsticks, you may also get more product, so your favorite shade lasts longer.

Brushes

Spend some cash on full-size, easy-to-handle brushes for the makeup you use most, like foundation, blush, eye shadow, and eyeliner. Invest in synthetic bristles, which won’t hold on to bacteria like natural hair can. Read the rest of this entry »

Should You Throw Old Cosmetics?

Cosmetics – both skin care and makeup -aren’t meant to grow old with you. “Products are developed to last a year or two,” says Peter Pugliese, M.D., a skin physiologist in Reading, Pennsylvania. However, contamination can occur at any time, since makeup is always in contact with germ-prone areas like your eyes, mouth and fingers. In general, always toss anything that has changed color or consistency or has a bad odor. Otherwise, use these guidelines to assess the shelf life of common beauty products.

* Most powders, concealers and lip balms are anhydrous (they don’t contain water), so they can last for a couple of years, says Dr. Pugliese.
* Cleansers and moisturizers often contain fatty acids, which can turn rancid quickly. Toss after six months.
* Multiuse products such as 3-in-1 sticks and creams can spread germs from lips to eyes and cheeks. Wipe the surface before switching areas, and discard or replace after six months.
* Pencils can last several years unless you wet the tip with saliva or water. To be safe, sharpen before each use.
* Mascara should be tossed after three months without fail. The tube is a breeding ground for bacteria,” says Dr. Pugliese.
* Foundations can last up to a year if you keep your fingers away from the bottle. Instead, use a sponge to apply.
* Store cosmetics in a cool, dry place outside the bathroom to extend their shelf life.
