beauty insider: how-to MAKE YOUR PRODUCTS LAST LONGER

YOU CAN GET A LITTLE EXTRA LIFE OUT OF YOUR
BEAUTY PRODUCTS

by trying some of these super-easy tricks…

* LESS IS MORE: Don’t squirt out too much product… eg you only need the tiniest amount of cleanser to clean your face, use too much and it’s just a waste.
* FINGER PAINTING: Apply your foundation with your fingers because sponges just soak up the product meaning less colour for your face.
* BOTTOMS UP: Store your hair- and skin-care products upside down to ensure you get every last drop.
* THE SCOOP: You may think you’ve finished your lipstick but there’s actually a quarter of the lippie still in there. Scoop it out with a knife and make your own lipstick palette.
* CUT YOUR LOSSES: When you can’t squeeze anymore out of a tube, cut it in half, you’ll be surprised how much product will be inside.
* GET INTO HOT WATER: To get the last couple of swipes of mascara or lip gloss, run the closed tube under hot water.
* MIX IT UP: If you’re almost out of foundation, add a few drops of moisturiser to the bottle and shake it up to make a sheer base.
