This is a highly requested video showing my makeup collection and set-up. It also shows how I organize such a large collection and I hope you will get some ideas.
FAQs - Frequently Asked Questions:
There is a LONG introduction for a reason. Before you ask a question watch the introduction where I may have already answered your question. Not trying to be rude but I WILL NOT answer any question that I have already answered in the video SUCH AS:
- How long I have been collecting?
- What is my profession?
- Why do I have all this makeup?
- Am I a makeup artist?
- Is this a personal collection or used for makeup artistry?
- Did I buy all this makeup with my own money?
YES, I AM VERY aware that makeup/cosmetics have an expiration date. However, the marked shelf-life on makeup products is a very conservative estimate and is a recommendation RATHER THAN a RULE! You can prolong the shelf-life/longevity of cosmetics by using proper storage (dry/low humidity, low-dust, pet-free, smoke-free, low temperature) and using hygienic methods when using the products. Also, make sure your products are sanitized along with your tools (brushes, tweezers, applicators, hands, etc). Then of course toss out any product with a weird/different smell or texture from its original/brand-new state. Powders last the longest since they don't have the moist environment that bacteria thrives in. Creams, gels, lotions, liquids and the like will have a shorter life-span and should be checked regularly before use. Use your discretion!
