HOW TO KEEP YOUR MAKEUP AREA LOOKING PRISTINE
ALWAYS REMEMBER TO CLEAN YOUR MAKEUP BRUSHES
This should be standard for everyone who owns makeup brushes, yet there is still so many of us who forget to do this. Cleaning your makeup brushes is just plain good hygiene, and it also prevents breakouts from happening. Depending on how often you use your makeup, it would be wise to do it one to two times a week. Using a brush cleaner would be wise, as some soaps and shampoos can be harsh on the bristles
INVEST ON GREAT LIGHTING
More than spending on the lighting fixtures at home, adding beauty light, or makeup light will make a world of difference when applying makeup. Usually makeup artists prefer to place light bulbs on the mirror, mixing white and yellow lights to create a balanced tone. Another option is using halogen lights, as they mimic natural lighting, or sunlight
BUY LARGE PALETTES TO ACCOMMODATE EYESHADOW, BLUSHERS, BRONZERS, AND FACE POWDERS TO SAVE ON SPACE
One way makeup artists keep their space clean and organized, and helps them remember where all their products are is to put them all on large makeup palettes. Most makeup brands offer this kind of organization—they usually reserve it for their pro line (line for professional makeup artists). But if you request for them, the sales associate at the store will be glad to sort you out.
USE A METAL PALETTE TO HANDLE LIQUID AND CRÈME MAKEUP
Not only does this look sleek and cool, but a metal palette is easy to clean and sanitize, it doesn’t get any stains on it, and it keeps your makeup free from contaminants. Just remember to use a clean applicator when handling crème and liquid makeup from the bottle to the palette
