Make lipstick last longer
Challenge Yourself for: 24 Hours
Those pesky tubes! Who doesn’t get to the bottom of a lipstick tube, only to find there is still a trove of color left in the bottom and no way to get it on your lips? Today, challenge yourself to get your makeup money’s worth by making a “painter’s” palette out of all your end-of-tube favorites. (You can buy cheap plastic palettes at art supply stores.)

Lipstick brush is an effective way and less expensive than getting a painters pallet
i just use my fingernail!!! it saves time digging for a brush, and normally i have a handkerchief or something nearby to clean up on. i try not to make it too technical :)
Those that are made out of tubes-for any products-I shake as much as I can to get it to bottom then I cut it in half or quarter from bottom and either place it in ziploc bag or dig it out into another smaller airtight container.
it may take me awhile because i don’t wear lipstick that often, but i always try to get the most out of a tube of lipstick especially if it is a color i really like. this will be an easy challenge for me, just a lengthy one!
You can always use a Q-tip if you don’t have a lipbrush
I also use a lipstick brush to get the bottom part.
Easy way out: Don’t wear lipstick.
I use a lipstick brush to get to the bottom of my lipsticks. That way I get the full value of it, while continuing to enjoy my favorite colors.
