1. Wash and dry your hands thoroughly before putting your fingers into the product. 2. Avoid reinfection. Stop using eye all eye make up if you have an eye infection and lip products if you have cold sore. The exceptions: lipsticks, lipliners, and eye pencils, which can be shaved clean with a knife or sharpener. (Just cleaning with a tissue won't suffice) 3. Smell your mascara when your first purchase it. If you recognize that scent, you'll know when it goes bad: Expired mascara often takes on a funny, chemical odor. 4. Choose a cotton tipped swab or disposable sponge to apply make up to a pimple-and avoid double dipping. Going back and forth from the product to the affected area with your finger or a sponge can lead to combination. 5. Try writing the date of your purchase on small cut up masking tape of colorful stick-on price tags to place on the bottles or tubs of your cosmetics to help you remember when you bought those products. 6. Buy in small quantities. This way, you are sure to use them until their last hurrah. One tip given by Lancome's make up artist, Tatin Yang, is the opt for palettes when choosing shadow instead of getting full pots that you won't be able to finish (unless uses every day)
