Extra Make Up Tips

1. Don't ever share cosmetics.

2. Don't put your fingers into the product, use the applicator provided or a makeup brush or sponge.

3. Keep containers tightly closed, and store them in a cool, dry place.

4. Don’t use water or saliva to ease the application of a product. Doing so 
introduces bacteria into the product, which can cause a host of problems.

5. Immediately toss the product out if there is a change of color, texture, 
or consistency; if the ingredients settle or separate; or if an odor develops.
