Eventually, they become nests with bacteria, and the effectiveness of makeup is reduced.

Clean pencils and lipsticks

Pencils and lipsticks must be cleaned, as they come in contact with the mucous membranes, the most sensitive parts of the face. Poor hygiene can lead to inconveniences such as herpes or conjunctivitis. For express maintenance, prune your pencils before use. For lipstick, you can cut the tip with a knife. If not, take a cotton swab, and soak with alcohol or micellar water, then gently clean the stick of red, not to mention the rim. Do the same with kohl and pencils, and you will avoid any risk of infection.

Maintain make-up sponges and hair brushes

As for make-up brushes, clean your sponges once a week with soap. Wet the sponge well with warm water, knead it, and rinse it. Repeat until the water is clear. For the hairbrush, soak it in warm, soapy water, and scrub well. Clean the brush as often as possible: the dust and sebum of your hair accumulate in no time; also, using it for a long time without cleaning helps to grease your hair.
