New Trick: Don't Lose Your Makeup

I wanted to get out of the house today so I decided to go to Perimeter Mall and play with makeup! And just by talking to the employees that work there I learned a lot!

You know that the makeup industry is flooded with these mineral powder products. And I was getting really annoyed that whenever I open the lid there would be massive amounts of powder in the container, as shown in the picture above. So I talked to somebody from bare minerals (your product doesn't have to be from bare minerals so this trick can still help you.) about how to solve this problem.

Here are the steps:
1.There is a plastic lid where there are holes in it, CAREFULLY use a tool to get the plastic lid off and dump the excess powder in the container.
2. Then wash and dry the plastic lid with holes really well.
3. Then apply packing tape over the top part of holes (where the powder where come out of).
4. Then pop the plastic lid back into the container.
5. Chose any random two holes to poke to allow powder to only come through those holes.
6. As your powder is running low you can poke for holes.

* You do have to flip the container onto the lid to get the powder out but it won't be so much without this technique.

***You're also keeping your makeup longer! Instead of this big clump of powder coming out of your containers you now have a controlled amount of powder to work with!

I have done this with all of my containers and I'm a lot happier!
Keep Swirling, Tapping & Buffing!
