1. Smell
The first thing to change would be the smell...so always smell your products to see if there is any kind of funky smell or not..if it does throw it right away!

 Sanitize your Makeup

Here is how you can sanitize your makeup differently for different products.

You will need:
Spray bottle
rubbing Alcohol
Dettol wipes
cotton buds

1. Powders
Pour your rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle and spray your powders with this. Leave them in open to dry naturally. Powders last for 2-3 years dispose it after that.

2. Brushes
 Wash your brushes with a mild shampoo add two three drops of dettol to sanitize them. Wash thoroughly and leave them to dry. Clean your brushes every 2-3 weeks depending on your use.

3. Cream products
Do the same as for the powders. Dispose your cream gel liners and blushes after 1 year.

4. Mascaras
Wipe down the outer tube with the rubbing alcohol. Use your dettol wipes to clean the wand thoroughly. Throw your mascara after 3 months of use.

5. Lipsticks
Spray some rubbing alcohol on your lipsticks and clean it with a cotton pad. Use a lip brush to avoid contamination of any kind. Lipsticks last for 3-4 years.

6. Sharpeners
Clean your sharpeners with a cotton bud and some rubbing alcohol. These are the first things to contaminate your liners.

7. Liners
Clean your liners with cotton pad or dettol wipes to sanitize them. Sharp them before every use in order to keep them clean.
