Buying Make-up online or anywhere, Tips & How long is it good List.

I have worked with professional make-up in many areas of selling, make-up artist for 15 years.

Here are a few things to help you with buying make up online or anywhere.

Yes, like most things make-up has a shelf life. A real simple tip is if it smells bad toss it!

If your buying make-up online always ask the seller when they purchased the make-up they are selling.

Sometimes make-up can be purchased in warehouse or store close out and may have been sitting for years.

Make up will not apply correctly if it is old.

Also ask the seller if the make-up is in its original package, most make-up shrink sealed with a plastic band you have to tear to open.

It is not a good idea to buy or use make up that has been used by another. I have spoken to people who will

Say I purchased lipstick that was used but, it was never put on the lips only applied with a lip brush.

Well, unless a different lip brush is used every time, whatever is on the users lips is now on yours.

How long does make up last…It is amazing how long women will keep there make up…

Ladies you need to toss that eye shadow etc you have had since high school

Yes there are ingredients in make up that extend there life, but air and time delete these chemicals.
