I've found myself going deap into my makeup case, and then seeing about expiry on products on another post the other day got me wondering
what do you do with your make up ?
The ones that you buy thinking that looks great in the shop but then you get it home and think my god what was I thinking the ones you try a couple of times and wasn't what you thought it was, its just not doing it for you, you reacted to it or just cant stand it.
do you sell it on ? I've seen plenty of makeup on trade me which worries me a bit specially with eye makes and lipsticks since you have no idea what or who your buying from
do you give it away? Everyone always loved free stuff right
do you bin it? This is where I really struggle, I spent my hard earned cash just to throw it away
do you keep it just in case? Guilty

What do you do with your make up

I have had this problem a few times, usually the store lighting tricks me into thinking a particular colour looks fantastic on me. Get it home and it looks terrible. Usually eyeshadow or lipsticks. I just can't throw anything away even if I never use it, I say to myself it will be great for dress up parties etc. I am a bit like you with selling make-up I know a lot of people do and use alcohol to sterilize the products but I personally wouldn't buy it.
If it still has it's safety seal, unopened with receipt, contact where you bought it and see if you can return it for a different colour or store credit. Please note I don't say refund as businesses don't have to refund because you changed your mind on an item, some are nice and do though.
When it is opened it you could do one of several options
- try to make it work,
- give it away,
- bin it
- sell it. Don't expect to get what you paid for it though.
Playing with it is probably the best option. Just because it is a lipstick doesn't mean it won't work as a blush or colour corrector. Eyeshadow can become nail polish with a clear coat, blush, or highlighter/contour.
You could practice techniques using the item rather than use your favourite shadow, eg cutting your crease or practising your smoky eye. Use it to create halloween looks.
Personally I'm not a big fan of buying and selling makeup on line because of fakes, and skin conditions, I do realise that you can sterilise with alcohol but it's not something that I can get past.

I've been quite lucky when it comes to purchasing makeup products. I havent had a lot that I've had reactions too or purchased products that I haven't liked or didn't suit. I thankfully have family and friends that are glorified makeup geeks and I've been able to pass on unwanted items.? If the product is expired however I have just thrown it out
I am same here itclearascrystal. I don't like waste the product, if I don't like it I pass someone who like to use. I like makeup but never buy to much at one time. Example I like eyeliner but I don't collect them. So when ever I buy makeup, make sure I ask myself I do really need or do I going to use it etc. but sometimes I splurge on myself but occasionally.
