When you think of makeup, one of the first things that come to the mind is lipstick. And no girl can ever have enough of them. Consider these 6 practical tips for buying lipsticks before your next purchase. Buy good quality As with everything you put on, or into your body, quality is the first criterion. Opt for high-quality lipsticks that use the best ingredients. Merely paying a hefty price for a famous brand will not ensure a superior quality product. Make sure there are no harmful ingredients like Methylparaben, Retinyl Palmitate, Polyparaben, and other such chemicals in the lipstick you buy. Be practical Always check the manufacture and expiration date on the lipstick. Although some brands claim lipsticks last for 3 years, it is ideal to dispose them after 12 or 18 months from the date of manufacture. So go for brand-new stock. Before you make your purchase from a retail or online store, learn about the exchange policies of the seller, just in case you need to return the lipstick for some reason. Check reviews If possible, read reviews, get feedback, and/or check swatches. Needless to say, do all this before buying your lipstick. When a product is introduced in the market, there will be plenty of reviews about it, so make sure you read the pros and cons, ask the retailer for swatches to see if you like the color/shade, to better appreciate what you are buying.

It is quite remarkable and overwhelming at the same time that we have so many options for skin foundation to choose from. The customizable option has also made it dynamic but also puts us in a spot. You either leave the store with the best product that elevates your look or it could be just the opposite scenario. Therefore, how does one go about buying a foundation? Here are some useful tips: Finding the right match Remember that the ultimate goal of the foundation is to match your skin tone and should look just like your skin, except that it should look even better. One way of finding the right match is to test the foundation on your skin. Most people use the forearm to test the shade. However, if you notice carefully, forearms tends to be few shades darker than the face. Therefore, it is imperative that you try the shade on chest. It is also good to note foundation oxidizes with wear and over a few hours it tends to get darker and it would be wise to factor this too. If the store does not permit you to test on your chest, use the shade option on your face.
