Our eyebrows frame our faces, and applying the right color to our lips will enhance our natural beauty. Today, I've learned the tricks to achieve a perfect brow shape and beautiful lip color to have a balanced and stunning makeup look.* |_{Identify your eyebrow type and apply makeup according to its shape, creating a gradient at the beginning of them.

*It's very important that we know when to throw our makeup products away to maintain our skin health and avoid undesirable reactions. Here are some characteristics we should be on the lookout for:* (1) **Expiration Dates** - *We should always check the expiry date on our makeup products because many of them have printed expiration date on them, or the number of months it will last after opening.* - *Generally, liquid foundations usually last 6-12 months, while powders can last up to 3 years; we should adhere to these timelines.* ![1000003085.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmUuYRnswEVZ9GuEY115PjYaLoHYnc8WJiCi6zcKCXRxz7/1000003085.jpg) (2) **Changes in Texture or Consistency:** - *Product, like foundation or concealer, will start to separate into layers this shows that it may no longer be effective again.* - *If products like mascara or liquid eyeliner become clumpy or thick, it's a sign that it is not good again and should be discarded because they are prone to harbor bacteria.* (3) **Changes in Color** - *a change in product color is an indication that it shouldn't be used again.* (4) **Odor Changes** - *If a product has a bad smell, it shows that it's time to toss it because it starts to develop bacteria, that's the reason for the unusual smell.* (5) **Irritation or Allergic Reactions** - *Skin Reactions: If your skin reacts to a particular makeup product, maybe you start having rashes. It shows that it's time to get rid of it.* (6) **Packaging Integrity** - *Damaged Containers: If the product container or bottle breaks, is cracked, or is not properly sealed, it shows that the content may be compromised, so dispose of it.* (7) **Application Changes** - *If you have difficulty in applying the products, maybe you can't apply them evenly and smoothly again; it means it has gone bad. For example, if an eyeshadow becomes chalky or streaky, it's time to kiss it goodbye.* (8) **Specific Product Lifespans:** - *Some products have a specific lifespan. An example is mascara, which lasts 3-6 months because our eyes are sensitive and there's a tendency for bacteria.* - **Lipsticks and gloss:** normally last 1-2 years, then one needs to watch out for bad smell and wearability. - *Cream Products like blush or highlighters Usually last about 1-2 years. But then we have to discard them if they dry out.* *It's good we regularly assess our makeup collection based on the above characteristics as it will help to maintain a healthy skincare routine and avoid any potential issues. We should also clean our makeup bags periodically and replace any expired products.* *Hi @sailawana @abi24 and @lovina join this contest.*
